It seems to me you are just learning the ropes. You said it yourself that you were raised in a strict school environment. They taught you to see things the way they wanted. That's why you thought of that eye contact as rude. People generally make eye contact to figure each other out. When women do this it's a signal to engage in some convo or make a move. They also do this to assess you. Both men and women can tell a lot about each other by just seeing each other. That's the purpose. To assess the other person. If the person is not worth assessing they won't care to make any eye contact. If something's not worth figuring out we don't give a shit about it. Right?
