I don’t agree. In wild animals, eye contact is often a bad thing because it can be viewed as a challenge. Similarly, “staring down” someone is very much a bad thing. There are many natural moments when “normal” people don’t like eye contact or don’t feel like making it.
Similarly, I think most people grossly underestimate their emotional acuity. Just look at how many people fall into the, “I’m an empath” meme, or at how many people don’t actually understand consent.

Yeah fair enough. It is one of the often repeated things. There are some things it just doesn’t really apply to.
