I've been realizing over the past week that I have an incredibly difficult time maintaining eye contact with someone I'm speaking with. I wonder why that is. I have not noticed it before in my life but I am acutely aware of it suddenly. I divert my eyes, I look away. I'm relieved when my kids are around because I can "check on them" as opposed to holding someone's gaze. I feel sort of odd staring someone in the eyes the entire time I'm talking to them but I can't put my finger on it.
