I can feel my T trying to make eye contact sometimes. When I'm alright I look at him or try to. When I'm trying not to cry I don't. If I feel embarassed I don't. But my face is always in his direction... I just don't look at his face. If I do it's for a second and then gone again.

ETA: I don't think he minds at all. It's pretty common to make eye contact when you're not feeling happy. Embarassment, awkwardness, distrust, worry, fear, sadness.... all can cause people to look away. They would be aware of the fact that a lot of people do that, so I doubt it would bother them. If anything, they might feel a bit of accomplishment when we DO look them in the eye! (It's a big give away with my students when they won't make eye contact with me... it says "guilty!!!!" or "upset or worried" usually).
