StrikerBe yourself and be true to who you are. Don't let neurotypical conditioning define your identity.
The BartoI’ve been trying that maintain eye contact thing, how to they do that? Doesn’t’t the constant screaming in their heads hurt them?
SanyanovAs an allistic person, I don’t get any screams in my head when I make eye contact and may not understand what you’re referring about. Intense awkwardness?
Prolomged eye contacts may make some allistic people feel awkward, but generally it’s a positive experience of nonverbal communication.
SoleInvictusAre you saying making eye contact while talking makes you feel good?
Yes, for as long as it’s not an angry or otherwise negative look.
That is wild! I’m eye contact neutral - it doesn’t affect me at all, save with my partner where it IS enjoyable, so I had to learn not to stare people down. I never imagined people enjoyed it with other people! Thanks for blowing my mind.
