I think I need to wear sunglasses 24/7

Post Reply New Topic

I have tried since I was a little kid to make eye contact regularly. "Look people in the eye when you're talking to them", I heard constantly. It has barely improved and I have tried my whole life. In some ways it's become even worse, because now I sometimes involuntarily ROLL my eyes when talking to someone. So then they think I'm being a smartass or that they're boring me, when I'm actually enjoying the conversation. I'm so sick of this. It is virtually impossible for me to control, and at random times it gets even more extreme than usual. Telling me to stop during those times is about as useful as telling someone to just stop having hiccups. Maybe I need to start wearing dark sunglasses all the time to solve this s**t. Sounds so ridiculous, yet this issue can cause so many problems.

An aspie friend of mine likes to wear sunglasses on public transport because he dislikes having to look people in the eye

i wear the state trooper mirror glasses.

so when people want to eye me, they end up eyeing themselves

I have to totally use sunglasses in public, to do with eye contact and also over sensitivity to light, plus you get to look cool ! !
