Thank you, this was so viscerally uncomfortable I feel like I have better understanding for people with ASD.

I went out of my way to check it hasn't posted the comment twice.. and in the end, it didn't even matter
What a terrible day to have eyes [contact].
Seriously what it felt like for me today.
One of my co workers was asking me a question and I just felt like they were laser focused, locked on to my eyes.
Bro, please stop 🫣
but iris looks so cool 👁️‿👁️
U can't tell me this isn't even a little cool...
NSFW SPOILER
That’s how close it feels like my coworkers wanna talk to me. Like guys, we’re already having a conversation sharing words with each other..we don’t need to share oxygen too
Yes officer, this post right here
That makes me so uncomfortable.
People who never break eye contact just seem like they want to sell me something
I somehow usually manage to maintain eye contact, because it is socially unacceptable to look at the floor, but it doesn't mean, that I am confortable doing it.
