Following a recent discussion I note that some people say they have learnt how to do eye contact. My question is how do you do it?
I have been asked if I am listening as the only way I can consciously try is by looking to the side of someone or looking at a nose or tie. If I look towards someone's eyes I feel like I am staring so then look away.
I have clearly trained myself over decades to make eye contact (late diagnosis) due to societal expectations faced.
When drained of energy I find it harder, so clearly there is a cost to making eye contact.
It's hard work sometimes isn't it ?Am just the same.
