Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with using a sign language as someone with eye contact avoidance?

For instance, did it go OK to wear sunglasses indoors; or did the eye contact avoidance disappear when using the sign language, only to reappear when using a spoken language; things like that.

Crossposting because I didn't get any responses the first time.
