Nonverbal questions

Do you instinctively seek other's people gaze when talking to them, as in you feel the need to gauge their reaction to what you are saying?
Did you use to negatively overinterpret social cues, such as believing neutral, serious, worried or dumbfounded faces convey a feeling of anger at you?
As a child, if strangers smiled at you in the street, did you believe they were laughing at you?
When you walk in the street, do you look around a lot to check whether someone is giving you weird looks?

1. I do like looking at people and seeing what they look like and watching their facial expressions and seeing their hands move.
2. My mom said I did so she had to be careful with her face when she would enter a room and I used to think people were mad at me if they were yelling at another person so she had to do social stories with me to teach me everyone has their own story and I have mistaken my mom as being mad at me because of her negative tone. Honestly I don't remember having these issues except for her tone part.
3. No because I was literal so a laughing was going "ha ha ha" so if a person wasn't doing that, they weren't laughing.
4. No.
