At least for me, it's just that it makes me uncomfortable, simple as that.
Like an invasion of personal space. If I'm not intimate enough to be hugging you, I certainly don't want us to stare at each other's eyeballs.
Yes, I avoid it as much as possible. If I'm forced to interact with some asshole that demands to be stared at in the eye, I try using tricks like looking at a point behind their ears.
Yes, as I said, it depends on intimacy. The less familiar I'm with someone the less I'm comfortable with eye contact.
