Good question. I cant look into people eyes either! It bugs the shit out of me cause i feel like its awkward for me and the other person. I dont think it is normal so this is how i deal with it: if you're in a situation where eye contact is important (ie. Job interview, important meeting, etc.) simply stare at their forehead between their eyes.
You shouldn't stare in their eyes like your piercing their soul but you shouldn't be staring at their tits the whole time either
I'll too mention the "in between the eyes and forehead thing" At first when my dad told me this i was certain that people would notice that it wasn't "real" eye contact but when I've asked people that i trust about it and have them try to spot the difference, they cant.
This helps, some.
But for me I think that the thing that i feel is more uncomfortable is having THEM looking into MY eyes.
When I talk to someone, I always look them in the eyes. It's just what your comfort level is, you're not strange for it. When I find someone who doesn't look me in the eyes, I just assume they're a shy person, but I don't think there's anything wrong with them :)
I am the same way. The only time I don't feel uncomfortable is when I'm in an interview or meeting someone important and I have to make eye contact does it not bother me. I can make eye contact better now with out feeling strange. Its normal but if you practice at making eye contact it will get less weird I promise.
If it bugs you it bugs yoy. Explain to him why it bothers you. Try to produce a compromise. If you still arent happy about it maybe you should look else where for companion ship. After all, you dont want to change him
I like to make eye contact, but I feel awkward when I do it for too long.
I feel it is normal. Unless I'm playing the staring game it kind of makes me uncomfortable to look into someone's eyes for too long. And vice versa.
