That’s absolutely fair; I guess, more so, what I was trying to push against is the implication that eye contact is a necessary component of sharing interactions with people IRL (and, rather, it’s perfectly possible to be IRL with others without eye contact), if that distinction makes more sense.

Some of us are autistic, Harold.

Honestly, that’s the best critique I’ve heard of this, so far; so much of us complaining about people’s noise in public just reminds me of the adults in our youth and just…I dunno, rubs me the wrong way.

My spouse is like that; they’re so anti-advertising that they’ll close their mobile games once the ad. appears and re-open the game, just to not watch it.

And they’re definitely the type to stop buying from a company because the ad.s were annoying.
