Can you maintain eye contact when talking to people?

Why can a person not maintain eye contact when they talk to people?
I can't.

I am about half-deaf and read lips and I became very aware in my 20s I didn't make eye contact. I learned to look at people's eyes but focus about a foot in front of their faces so I could also see their mouths.

I have this image in my head of you being slightly cross eyed when you do that :>

@Fernie: Maybe that explains why I've never been married?

Lack of eye contact is a trait of autism.

I keep constant eye contact with the person I am talking to and listening to. If they can't do the same and keep looking away I have trouble trusting what they are saying. Being unable to look into someone's eyes means something

Probably they are intimated by the person they're talking to, not interested with the conversation or just not at the moment :)

Sometimes I can. For me it was due to shyness.
