I can never make eye contact. I am either looking at their nose/forehead (makes them think I am looking at their eyes) or looking around like I am scanning for trouble. in the days of my ancestors Native American warriors would do the same kind of scanning when talking because they were always looking to protect their family/people. in my case it makes me extremely uncomfortable looking in someone's eyes and if it is something I desire to do, it takes tremendous effort to do so. perhaps I feel unworthy, perhaps it is a genetic throwback to my NA ancestors, or just perhaps it is that I feel that if I look them in the eye they will see straight through my soul?
