In general, I can maintain eye contact. However, if I'm thinking of a way to phrase a thought, or trying to recall something, I find myself looking off to the right. My T will often lean in that direction to try to re-establish eye contact. Which, I find sort of humorous. I'm not avoiding eye contact, that's just what I do when I'm trying to think of or remember something that isn't right on the surface. T has this odd "sculpture" type thing on the bookcase, and I usually find I'm looking at that as it's to the right side.
