When I went to home plate in a game-tied situation or with a chance to do something and help the ballclub win one, I'd try to make eye contact with the pitcher.

People simply don't make eye contact anymore.

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.

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

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

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