i have a hard time looking people in the eye too, i think most people do. and honestly, if you look someone in the eye the entire conversation, you'll come off as creepy. what you can do, instead of looking dead in the eye, look at their eye brow level, they'll never be able to tell the difference.

I've noticed I never or very rarely look into peoples eyes when talking to them. Its just not something I focus on. I dont know what it is..

I have a problem with eye contact too. I never used to be able to even look at someone's face when I was talking to them. However in the last year or so I have got a lot better. I still don't like eye contact much though.

I always stare people in the eye regardless of who they are or how many of them. It gives me a sense of control over them, which I love. Not everyone has to look at you in the eyes, I find many people don't like to do so.

I think that only people with a good confidence level can have an easy time looking others in the eyes.

A lot of people have difficulty looking in someone's eyes and talking to them at the same time. It doesn't neccessarily have anything to do with confidance. People with autism generally don't like talking and looking at someone's eyes at the same time because it overloads their sensory perception. They want to concentrate on what they're saying and, because they naturally take in huge amounts of other sights, sounds, smells etc. looking into a face you can't read is one sense too many. I'm not saying you're autistic, you certainly don't sound it. But everyone processes information differently. It might be simply shyness, if might be sensory overload. One way to tackle it might be to confront it. Tell yourself you'll look into the eyes of some people you feel comfortable with, then move up from there. Or look at something else, like the top of their ear or their forehead.
