Is it normal to not look at someone's eyes when talking?

When I talk to people I don't know much I can't keep looking at them in the eyes, I look sm where else every once and a while. Sometimes they think am not listening to them when I do this so I had to prove that am with them by asking Qs about wht they're talking about. Is it normal to b like this?

    I feel creeped out looking in other people's eyes. It's so awkward, your like looking into their soul! *shudders* sooooo creepy.

    I make a lot of eye contact but keeping it too long seems weird to me...like I think they will think I'm stairing too long or almost like they can see more of me than I want them to..that's weird I never thought about it like that..

    I know how you feel! If I look for too long it feels awkward! :P. I'm trying to get better with it though.

    I do it probably because it's my body trying to tell other people i've lost interest in the conversation and just want it to end here and now. So yes your normal.

    I don't like people that try to make you look at them by staring back at you even harder it creeps me out there's no need to make eye contact unless you want to some people r fuckin ugly and I don't want to look at them the only time i ever look someone in the eye is if I'm about to rip them a new asshole

    All this means is that your are normally submissive. Even though we as humans have evolved, without meaning to we sometimes show through with old defence mechs. I would be it makes you somewhat nervous it hold eye contact.
