>>6185165Because normie life is a complex mystery of bullshit. For some reason our parents thought that prolonged eye contact was a sign of mutual respect. Now that we live in a society of socially awkward neurotic sociopaths the idea of eye contact has become even more complex.
If you go to a job interview they'll look at your eye contact skills and if you don't make enough eye contact they'll think you're disingenuous.
Just remember to match their eye contact and body language (for the most part) and you'll be fine.
