Well, I really hate eye contact and never look people in the eyes, so this wouldn't be something interesting for me. I wonder if I am alone or if this is common.
I dunno. But at some point you can tell who's faking it. Sort of like someone who read How to Win Friends and Influence People and follows it to the letter- they use your name too often shoehorned into conversations and ask about your dog a little too early and enthusiastically with feigned interest.
Perhaps this is a cynical viewpoint brought on negatively from too many zoom webcam meetings!
