Well, duh. We're not soulless automatons. It's just uncomfortable. I personally usually look at people's hands or clothing while I'm talking to them, or at their mouths or at something else in the room. It's not like I can't hear you without looking you in the eye.

I honestly think the first time I actually looked somebody in the eyes might've been with my ex, and that was when I was like 16. I can go years without knowing what color somebody's eyes are.

you're potentially missing social cues by not looking in their eyes. like the way to gauge whether or not a smile is genuine or not is by seeing if the folds around the eye wrinkle, and there's probably tons of other shit like that

Eh, that's true, but I also pick up on things that most people don't, particularly with voices and things like how people move. There's a lot communicated in inflection, timing, and the way people carry themselves that you don't see if you're looking right at people's eyes all the time.

And beside, people are way too fixated on eye contact. It drives me nuts when somebody's driving and they keep trying to look over at the faces of the people they're talking to, or in the rear-view mirror to talk to people behind them. In that scenario, I'm 100% right about the "I don't need to be looking at you to hear you" thing.

The eyes never lie my friend. People will say all sorts of things, but their eyes will tell the truth. Try looking people in the eye for the entire duration of the conversation; it will be an eye-opening experience.

Fuck I can relate to this hard. Guess I'm on the spectrum. I mean, I've managed to stifle my general feeling of discomfort, and most of the time I look people in the eye, but still. Eye contact to me has always for some reason signaled sexual attraction, which is why I feel uncomfortable looking people in the eye whom I have a platonic relationship with. Furthermore, I read into eye contact from girls way too much, and think they do the same to me.
