    Own it.
    Research shows it's good for others.  Really.

    Just about always.
    It makes me very uncomfortable to look people in the eyes.

    In situations where I do not want someone to sit next to me.  I usually put my bag and bottle of water in the seat next to me and avoid eye contact with people looking to sit down.  If there are no other seats I will remove my stuff and let someone sit.   It's completely possible that I would get up and stand myself.

    Talking to an indigenous Australian. It's quite rude.

      Yes, there are many cultures worldwide wherein direct eye contact is considered the ultimate in rudeness.

      Thank you, this is good to know. VERY good to know. There is absolutely NO WAY this tidbit escapes being entered into the dossier I’m compiling on you.
