I have moments like that too. For me it's social anxiety but that isn't the full answer.
Maybe it's my fear that I might convey some wrong emotion I consciously didn't even mean to. Or maybe looking in the eyes is just too distracting and it's hard to focus on the words then. Idk, many possible explanations out there but it could be some hyperfocusing on how we are perceived or how to read another person even if it isn't all that important in the moment but the brain does whatever it wants to do.
