What would your impression be of somome who never makes eye contact but has a likeable and agreeable personality?

Update:

Let's also say this person is quite friendly, can be comical and crack jokes too

    We communicate in so many different ways, it is nice to make eye contact too considering that we have already pretty much seen everything else there is to someone.  Eye contact sort of completes the understanding between two human beings. Especially if they have already been eyeballing up and down each other several times already.  

  • Some people just can't make eye contact, it's something that really turns their stomach. I remember when I was young, I struggled to make eye contact, but now, I find that I can make eye contact and about 80% of the people I talk to tend to break eye contact before I do.

    The person has something to hide  or he is a lair

    The likeable and agreeable aspects are contrived and put on as a front to hide the underlying poor character.

    It would be very good.

    I do not like people looking me in the eyes.

  • To me just sounds like some intensified shyness, can relate since I'm sorta the same way but hell...I'd still be friends with em 🙂

    If the person doesn’t make eye contact even after we’ve established some kind of relationship, I wouldn’t trust them. I think people that don’t make eye contact aren’t trustworthy. I can understand if they’re shy but if they can’t after becoming friends or kind of close, not trustworthy..😊

    Maybe that person is a little bit shy.
