My eyes always do this and I was diagnosed with ADD as a child after an IQ test. Teachers before always accused me of being dishonest and I got into all sorts of trouble because of it.
It’s a fun subject to talk about regardless. The final panel makes it funny, sure, but I imagine a lot of people like discussing their variety of social quirks with others… and this definitely provides the opportunity.
Alternatively, another social quirk that exists is responding before fully processing something… replying to an email / comic / thread before reading the content completely… THAT is typically a behavior seen in people with ADD.
There’s a variety of reasons - some social, some have to do with memory. Brain wiring is weird. When recalling conversations with people I will ‘half insert’ them into the physical space and make eye contact with ‘them’ as I would have in the original conversation. For me it helps with recollection; for the other parties involved I may as well be addressing ghosts.
If their eyes do that, they might be autistic.

Came here to say this. It’s so hard to look at someone in the eyes.
I don’t know where to look! It’s so awkward.
It’s actually both.
Allists! Your eyes are not that interesting! They’re boring to look at 10 minutes straight.
Or theres a FUCKING SPIDER ON THE CEILING
Depends. Is it cute?
And if their arms or legs are crossed, they’re probably feeling cold.
