I know just what you mean! Mine does exactly the same. Is it something they're are taught do you think?! It is really strange & I have wondered about this - I thought it was just me - thanks for this thread.

I make eye contact sometimes. Either when nothing is being said that is overly hard for me to consider, or if I realized I've not made any eye contact in ages I'll force myself to look at my T. I don't tend to ever make eye contact if I'm really thinking - it distracts me and makes me uncomfortable no matter where I am or who I'm with. Like.. even here on the computer? When I'm putting my thoughts together I usually look to the side.

Seeing as my T makes me think and asks me questions that I don't know how to answer... I tend to not look at him much.

But he's always looking at me, but it doesn't feel like a staring-at-me. For all I know he doesn't really look at me until I turn my head back, because my entire head tends to turn partially away.
