In Deaf culture, eye contact is crucial during conversations. Unlike in hearing conversations, where you can rely on sound, Deaf individuals depend on visual cues like facial expressions and lip movements to fully understand each other. Looking away while someone is signing can be seen as breaking the conversation, much like turning your back on someone while they're speaking!
