Eye contact


Posts: 3427

I have always practiced trying to make eye contact with people. I'm not always very good at it. 

You used to have very long and intense eye contact with me and I felt like I had to stare back at you or I would be being rude

I tried reading your emotions many times for clues but 

I don't actually know how to read people's emotions at all...

But- I tried. 

You know my emotions are stronger than "normal" people. People with autism feel things very strongly, emotionally. You can Google it idc

And I don't even know what all my emotions are when I have them. 

I tried so hard to hold in everything in class. 

I tried as hard as I fucking could. 

But you had to humiliate me

In front of people I was trying so hard to befriend. 

My childhood was already fucking miserable 

Did you have To ruin the end of my days as a young adult too? 

I can't have any memories of any phases of my youth without having any of the phases overshadowed by abuse? 

I don't know. 

I may never know.

And - I blame you for that. Because I was so close to recovering. And then you came along. 

I never got to be carefree and young. Not even as a young adult. 

 

I would have had at least that- at the end of my early twenties but no. 

You just fucking tortured me more 

I fucking hate authority 

I hate you people

I had to train to hold eye contact when I was 18. I just randomly stared at people like a psycho and smiled. After a while it gets less uncomfortable, when you dont care about what people think.

Im not autistic, but I used to play video games all day with zero human contact.

Correction: You have never in a diagnostic situation been given an autistic label. 

Your struggles with empathy and at times even sympathy often grant me many questions, but I'd sooner attribute it to some sort of hyperactivity. That being said, if I were to take your words at face value it translates as spectrum talk.

On topic, eye contact challenges me a lot. My natural tendency is to try to avoid it, but if they notice and challenge me to keep looking it's kind of sexy. 

I met someone who orgasmed from an eye contact challenge, in public. She ended up giving a friendly pummeling in public while I was laughing at how unexpected it was. 

I still don't see how people misconstrue me as if I'm confident, it's fucking weird.

His logic is that he was never formally diagnosed with it, which is a cope I've seen a lot of people who've never sought diagnosis try to lean on. If I had never been diagnosed, I too would be disorderless. 

I still think he's moreso a victim of hyperactivity dulling the responses to people, rather than a complete absence of it's perception. He responds like people on a bunch of Speed tend to.

I suspect it of a lot of people but most people unlike me are ashamed by it and hold one or two stereotypes. There was never a civil rights momentum where some percent of people found racism gross which never happened for autistic people. If you look at the crazy stereotypes in the past it's not so different from stereotypes in the present. I had people pissed off I didn't want to socially partake so they started accussing and name calling but it's proven to be twice as likely for a normal person to assault or steal than an autistic person who's more likely to live passively or busy than mess with people. People will forgive a thief but not someone who wouldn't take from them.
