Yeah, but gazing into a person's eyes is showing interest in the topic. Staring anywhere lower is to view them as sexual objects, and any higher shows disinterest in general.
Not necessarily.
If I was really interested in the topic, why would I stare the speaker in the eyes? The eyes aren't doing anything to convey the speaker's words. Now if I were to stare at a part of their body that's assisting the production of said words like the brain which would have me staring at their forehead, or the mouth, or even the heart or lungs- for which I'd be staring at their chest cavity. Perhaps even their hands are moving so I should look at those. Regardless, the eyes hold no importance to speech.
If I'm interested in the topic, shouldn't I watch the body parts helping to produce said topic, rather than the parts having no value to the topic?
