The fuck is a mind war account

I’m terrible at eye contact I can either have awful eye contact and actually hear the conversation or I can have perfect eye contact and not hear a word the person says

I make a lot of eye contact.

It is a skill I possess and deploy as needed

I’m good at it. But, at the same time, I live in a pretty diverse area and I’ve met plenty of people who are clearly not super comfortable with it. So it’s an interesting balancing act to do it enough to be showing respect but not so much that I creep them out. Mostly I take my cues from their own eye contact levels.

Not very. I’m autistic. I’m usually okay with people I know but it’s hard with new people. At my job we had a secret shopper and I got marked down for not making eye contact. I wanted to inflict violence upon that person. Wish I knew who they were. Also, I don’t owe them shit. No one is entitled to eye contact from me or anyone else.

FWIW, it’s a sign of autism. You may just be autie.

I’m generally pretty good at it when I am comfortable with someone. But when I am anxious or sad I cannot for the life of me make eye contact with anyone.

i can do it but it tends to use up a pretty big chunk of my conscious
