> But the fact that we are becoming increasingly accustomed to talking to people who appear to be staring at our necks is even creepier, in my opinion

There have been a few comments now that mention people looking at necks instead of eyes as being creepy.

Now I wonder if anyone finds it creepy to talk to me in person, because I usually look at the speaker's mouth, not their eyes, at least when they are speaking. (I'm not actually sure where I look when I'm doing the speaking).

Looking at the mouth allows better error correction if the conversation is competing with noise.

What's weird is when someone only looks at one spot. If you stare at people's eyes some will become uncomfortable, because naturally we make slight side movements. I'm sure the same it's with mouth. But most people can't tell if you're looking at their mouth or at them.

People do notice direct eye contact though. Maybe someone could explain this. I'm kinda curious why directly in the eye we notice but there's more wiggle room around the face.
