What's wrong with me? (Can't make eye contact)

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I feel like that's more of an assumption than anything else though.

I mean I can't maintain eye contact for more than a glance but people have no reason to assume I'm lying about everything, other than having been told that and assuming it's true.

General body language when someone says a potential lie is more of an indicator, if they start doing something differently after they say something then they may be lying.

I've always thought that looking into someone's eyes for longer than a few seconds is quite intimate. Like, I could imagine looking into the eyes of my significant other for longer than a few seconds without it getting extremely awkward, but I don't afford that level of intimacy to anyone else.

body language..........
It makes absolutely no difference to a conversation though really.

In what way does it enhance one? Aside from when someone is say giving a speech, obviously looking down at the ground doesn't seem very enthusiastic. But you can be enthusiastic otherwise without making eye contact.
Have you never spoken to a person who uses hand gestures all the time or none at all, is closed off (e.g. facing away from you) or extremely open all up in your face, or doesn't give you eye contact at all or gives you too much eye contact? What about people who do a balance of each? Yeah, go ahead and tell me again that body language has no effect on ppl.

What will you do when you get old?

I find people always don't make eye contact with me, not sure why. I try to hold eye contact entirely in a conversation though.

I understand the awkward feeling people get with direct eye contact, it feels as if you look like you want to fight them or have sex with them, though we all know that's not the case. Before my family got out of our financial rut we lived in a pretty crappy area, so eye contact meant either you want to fight or get intimate, so it took me months after my move to realize that eye contact is normal, though I try to avoid looking straight into someones eyes for more than 5 seconds, I guess its sort of a mild ptsd lol. I've witnessed so many fights back then over the simplest things, though I've never been in one myself.

It is common for me. I would rather not look someone in the eyes. I have a problem with that honestly. Some people are intimidating.

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

What conversations are people having where people want to fight you because you're making eye contact?

"Then you've got the chance to do better next time."
"Next time?"
"Course. Doing better next time. That's what life is."

Like I said, I used to live in a violent area. People hated it when you would look them directly in the eye for more than 5 seconds.

EDIT: It wasn't like that in all cases don't get me wrong, it's just a lot of people had some serious emotional problems.
