Aspies and Glaring

Post Reply New Topic

does anyone else tend to do this??? I will be walking or just doing something totally normal in everyday life in a public place and when i turn my head and catch someone looking my way for whatever the reason may be, i 90% of the time just glare at them and my eyes squint and i look actually quite mad and hostile and i dont even know i am doing it most the time.... or i will catch someones face in passing and i will feel the need to almost analyze or memorize there face to the point of facial recognition almost if that makes sense and it alot of times leads to people looking at me like what is this guy looking at me for

Yep although I am aware and try and control it.

Yes I do that and it's almost impossible to stop, even if I notice when I'm doing it.

Yeah, I think sometimes we had a hard time controlling this and we have little awareness sometimes about how we will come across. I will space out sometimes and my mom will ask me if I'm worried or whatever.

No, it is a female NT thing to glare (well, at least in the East UK anyway). Women are always giving me filthy looks. I don't glare often, I have more of a kind expression on my face. I only glare if somebody gets in my way, but I know I'm doing it.

When I'm walking to work I am nicely dressed and I smile to a person passing by, and they just glare at me. Whenever I tell somebody about it, like a close relative or my counselor, they always say ''it's probably not anything personal, they might just be pulling a miserable face anyway and happen to continue doing it when they meet your eye''.

Usually men smile back at me though, so that's one good thing.
