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].
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
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 makes me so uncomfortable.
Yes officer, this post right here
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.
