Eye contact?

Ken said:
From a distance, I was (am) always terrified to look at anyone, especially in the area of their eyes, because of fear they would address me or want to talk, etc.

I have this fear when I spot people from a distance it feels like, absolute dread. But I think again it’s just something I’ve learnt myself to do because I am so scared of meeting someone’s gaze... however I have also had the same experience as you, when u say u have a fear of meeting someone’s gaze in case they want to talk!! I’ve been there I think everyone has especially in England I think we are a quite An unsociable culture

Most people on here have had the same response, people don’t feel uncomfortable holding eye contact with them. It’s them who have trouble holding eye contact but not due to a fear just simply because it makes them uncomfortable. Which makes me think mine could be more deep rooted?
I understand where you Are coming from when you say some peoples eyes stand out - I wish I had those but I don’t think I do :(
I will carry on with the therapy and hope for changes ... and keep the thread updated along the way :)
