Why Does Not A Person Make Eye Contact While Talking?

This woman came to my door claiming that she delivered my package correctly and it was just in our mailbox, which I know it wasn t because I had checked, so I knew she was lying. She also did not make eye contact at all, rather she would stare at the space right next to me when she talked to me. She made the whole mix up sound like a misunderstanding on our part and said that she is really good at making sure the packages end up where they are supposed to go or something along those lines. I just want to know if she had some type of disorder, because she wouldn t make eye contact, but not in the usual way (which is looking at a phone or at something else going on or looking around) she stared at an empty space, and she lied and made it sound like she hadn t done anything wrong at all instead of accepting what she did was wrong and apologizing, like normal people would do, or come up with an excuse that puts herself at blame rather than the person she messed up a delivery with. What could be wrong with her?

staring at a little different angle consistently with everyone while talking could be due to eye muscles problem or may be she could have some psychological problem or confidence issues in staring in someone's eyes or just a habit or personality.... You may also be right if she's lying she won't look at you but we can't be sure! Thankyou for contacting hcm... stay blessed
