Absolutely, Reba. I also have some "issues" that makes looking someone directly in the eye very uncomfortable for me. Usually, I have to force myself to look at someone directly in the eye (except my parents). Usually, when I am talkng to someone, I will put my head down, or I will look away from them after a few minutes. I've also been known to look past someone by looking at the wall behind them rather than looking at the person themselves.
It's not something that is meant to be rude. It's that looking at someone in the eye when I talk to them is very difficult for me.
