I truly understand this and can relate to it. I guess this is why the eye thing bothers me so much now. Because at the time of my life when I was shy and found it extremely hard to talk to people, I was crushed when I would finally open up to them, only to have them look away while I was talking.
I suppose the real issue isn't them not making eye contact, but rather making it obvious that they aren't paying attention to the conversation at hand. And I just think eye contact is a good way to make a person feel that you are engaged in the convo. Know whadamean?
