Cultures have different views on what '''eye contact''' means, and how much is "enough" or "too much". Some cultures believe, for some reason, that not looking someone in the eyes is a sign of lying while others consider eye contact rude. Yet in others it is used exclusively for flirting.<ref>[https://www.thetravel.com/10-places-where-eye-contact-is-not-recommended-10-places-where-the-locals-are-friendly/ 10 Places Where Eye Contact Is Not Recommended]</ref> | |||
