I tend to use eye contact only when I am comfortable with someone, but even then, not all the time. I do find it quite uncomfortable, so if I am talking about something that is more emotionally driven, I tend to not use eye contact at all. I mainly use eye contact to empathize what I am saying, or to show that I am paying attention.
Sometimes, if I like someone a lot (like friendships or whatever), I'll just stare into their eyes, which I also know is unacceptable in society. I like to try to memorize their eye colour.
