Eye contact is usually an integral part of face to face communication, but some people missed the memo. It may not always be easy to pick up on, since we usually aren't seeing the scene through another character's eyes but through the metaphorical third person. The reason and duration varies; they simply may not do so to people who are not close to them, to unnerve other characters, a social disorder, or none may be apparent. They don't necessarily need to keep their eyes averted all the time, but this also isn't for fleeting circumstances such as a pouting child. It must be a part of their normal interaction with some or all people. Sister Trope of Eyes Always Shut and Hidden Eyes. Does not apply to those with an Eyeless Face. Sometimes the reason for Cool Shades. Linked to Magical Eye, Eye Beams, Hypnotic Eyes, and other similar eye-power tropes, as avoiding accidental activation of those powers can be a justification for this trope. Also see No Eye in Magic.

THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls: Morikubo Nono is an extreme Shrinking Violet with bottom-of-the-barrel self esteem, and as such is pointedly avoiding eye contact from everyone, be they the Producer, her fans, or her fellow idols. Every one of her cards have her eyes aimed away from the camera, and even in her Starlight Stage Lives, she is still looking anywhere but the camera. She is starting to get better about it in recent cards, telling herself fans aren't looking at her eyes, but rather her costume. | |

Tara from The Place Inside the Storm finds eye contact weird and uncomfortably intimate. When Dr. Gutierrez tries to force it on her, she flinches and freezes up. Later she reaches a mostly-autistic commune, where it's considered rude to make eye contact with people you don't know well. | |

Hitori from Bocchi the Rock! is a huge Shrinking Violet, and as a result she has trouble maintaining eye contact with people. This is Deconstructed early on; while Hitori is decent at playing music solo, her initial difficulties maintaining eye contact with the rest of Kesshoku means she's out of sync with Ryo and Nijika, causing her to flub her first team getup. | |

In Freefall, Doctor Bowman and the staff working with him make a point of avoiding eye contact, with the staff wearing tinted lenses to keep it from happening by accident. As an uplifted chimpanzee, Bowman can't help but take eye contact as a threat and react aggressively. Bowman does at some point initiate eye contact with Florence, because it's part of the Trigger Phrase that allows him to reprogram her. | |

The Dresden Files. Harry Dresden always tries to avoid eye contact, since for a wizard, direct eye contact starts a soulgaze, or a direct experience of that person's innermost character. The memory of a soulgaze never fades, and the experience can be fairly traumatic. For those who don't know, however, it's one of a set of behaviours that makes him come off as mildly autistic. | |

Newt Scamander, the protagonist of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, prefers the company of his magical beasts to humans, which is pretty easy to tell considering he never makes eye contact and often stares straight down to avoid looking at anyone. One of the only times he manages eye contact is at the end of the first movie, when he defiantly looks straight into Grindelwald's eyes as he is defeated. | |

Hoshi and the Red City Circuit: Eye contact makes Hoshi feel like her soul is being yanked out through her pupils. She still sometimes forces herself to make it while interrogating people, but otherwise she avoids it as much as possible. | |

Siofra from "Fairest of All" never makes eye contact — the closest she comes is looking at people's faces, which she only does intermittently. | |

Kindergarten: Lily's sprite's eyes are always turned away from wherever she's facing, possibly to indicate either her shy personality or her sadness over her brother Billy's disappearance. Either way, she's lost the trait in Kindergarten 2 following her and the protagonist's rescue of Billy at the end of the first game. | |

In Tales of the Otori, Otori Takeo gains the power to look into another person's eyes and make them fall asleep. The first time he does it to a human, after practicing on animals, he does it inadvertently, and for a significant amount of time after that he avoids looking anyone in the eye, even and especially his closest friends, in case he accidentally uses the power again. | |

Spice and Wolf: Holo tends to keep her eyes averted from new people and in negotiations, only directly looking at someone as a tactic to manipulate them (such as Lawrence's moneychanger friend) or after an arrangement of some sort has been reached. The American covers of the light novels (except for the first one) curiously depict essentially the same scene as the Japanese covers, but with a more realistic art style and with Holo's head turned away. | |

Vivy from Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen! hates making eye contact, which not only is incredibly uncomfortable but also makes it even harder to find the right words than it already is. She looks at people's noses if possible. | |

In the CSI fanwork "Face The Music," Grissom is like this for quite a few chapters after his rescue because his captors kept slapping him in the face and forcing him to avoid eye contact. Consequently, his mind still fears more abuse if he makes eye contact. | |

In My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected, Yoshiteru Zaimokuza Cannot Talk to Women, so when he asks for help, he usually only talks to Hachiman Hikigaya, avoiding even eye-contact with Yukino Yukinoshita, who also asks things when he goes to Service Club for critics about the light novel he's writing, getting very nervous when Yukino confronts him about not getting any attention from him, not even a look. | |

The Murderbot Diaries. Along with Hates Being Touched for the title character. Even when talking to someone right next to it Murderbot prefers to stare at the wall, and use one of its drones or a hacked security camera to look at them. Some of this has to do with spending most of its time (before it became a Rogue Drone) hidden behind an opaque faceplate wearing Powered Armor, but it's implied that it's also a trait of Murderbot's personality. | |

Miracle Creek: As a young child, Henry could go weeks without looking directly at anyone. Elizabeth once pinched his shoulders hard enough to leave bruises, and was elated when he made direct, prolonged eye contact with her as he twisted to get away. When he was older, Elizabeth said, "Henry, don't be spacey; look at me, always look at the person you're talking to," in almost every conversation. Now that he's dead, she wonders why she couldn't just talk to him like a human being instead of obsessing over where his eyes were pointed. | |

Kuroe Akaishi of Kaiju Girl Caramelise starts off this way. Eye contact with other people tends to make her emotional — and emotion triggers her Involuntary Shapeshifting. This is why it's always awkward when her crush Arata Minami constantly looks her right in the eyes. | |
