It actually might be possible for you to learn to look people in the eyes. It took me a few decades of practice before I got comfortable with it. I suppose though, that you need the skill in less than a few decades. A toastmaster's club might help
Does it help to know that the reason we aspies have so much trouble with eye gaze is because for us eye gaze triggers the amygdala instead of the limbic system as it does with NTs?

I already knew that, but I just don't like looking at people, makes me feel awkward and nervous
thanks for your help though

Hi Kels! It's great to meet you! I am so happy I read this because I was just hoping that somebody would have the same traits I had as I came to this site tonight and your entry was the push that got me to keep going here. I too had a hard childhood and math is like greek language to me...lol! So thank you so much for just being here cause it helped me! I hope that things get a little easier for you here and I hope we can talk more!

:D
