:noHelp! I am new here and worried I have a social disorder. I have a big problem with eye contact especially with women. Men are just easier to talk to and to maintain eye contact with. This problem started a few years ago, but it seems to be getting worse. Some days are better than others. Sometimes it seems like it barely bothers me, other days it seems like a huge problem.
I try to look someone in the eye but i don't want to seem rude by turning away completely, so my eyes go down to a womens "parts" and sometimes the same on men but not as bad. I am in NO way attracted to women, but I'm afraid they think I am because I can't hold eye contact. Sometimes I can but it takes alot of concentration. It is worse in bigger groups, I like to be in a small group. After I'm around someone for a long amount of time it usually goes away. I try to concentrate on looking everyone in just the eye, but sometimes it just doesn't work.
Some people I'm just more comfortable around and I don't have this problem with. Like my boyfriend for example I'm around him so much it doesn't affect me, and a couple friends. It affects me alot when I meet new people, haven't been around someone for awhile, or when I'm in a big group. I will avoid eye contact altogether to avoid looking at the wrong "Part
