People simply don't make eye contact anymore.

I can't make eye contact when people sing 'Happy Birthday' to me.

You turned your head to the side. Faced me. Your eyes never left mine, I read them with ease. You said nothing to them, yet everything to me. I nodded.
But only when no one was watching.

The majority of teenagers don't even make eye contact with people, even people of the same age.

Making eye contact with adults while dressed as a clown is risky.

We look at each other with shy relief. It's the look two odd socks give when they recognise each other in the wild.
