Making eye contact makes me very uncomfortable.
Interesting, eye contact is a form of nonverbal communication and has a large influence on behavior
Really, what happens if I dont do it?
Well considering it is an interpersonal communication and you exchange a significant amount of information between a person you will not make connections as easily
That's a shame, why is it so hard anyway?
It takes a lot of practice because of how beneficial it is, it allows you to accomplish a number of personal and relational goals.
does it matter if I mean it??
Funny enough even in situations you don't mean it simply faking an action can lead to an increase of well being and is a much studied phenomena in psychology
