    A lot of Zoomer/Alphagens have said in surveys that the perceive prolonged or maintained eye contact in a conversation as a sign of aggression or attraction. I was using hyperbolic language for brevity.

      Oh no. I worked so hard to be able to maintain eye contact in conversations (autistic) and now I’m questioning it.

        Personally, maintaining eye contact during a conversation shows me that you’re actively paying attention and processing what I’m saying. I mean you might not actually be doing that, but I at least feel you are. And it’s a good sign. When I have some Alpha at work explain that bit about how their generation views that level of eye contact I audibly scoffed.
