I hate it.
I also hate looking people in the eyes.
They make me feel bad.

Same. I end up flinching and looking at the ground, or staring past people. I'm so shit at body language.

I used to be excellent at feigning eye contact, but I can't even do that now.

Yeah me too. But I have some kind of social defect that I fear people and can't understand what they want from me when they ask something. I have deep inside pressure when talking or looking at them. I think this is a menace to my survival in this world. You cannot survive alone and you always depend on people no matter how you think of it.

I always had problems with eye contact, it just gets so awkward and annoying. I feel like everyone is in on a secret that I don't know about and whenever someone looks at me I feel inadequate like I just don't know if I'm being human correctly.

Same ... Only for the reason that when a person would suddenly look me in the eyes for longer than just a glance my face instantly goes red like a tomato ... It's the only reason i take ssri med's cause they help (partly) subdue this shit reaction. I've had this reaction a million times and it's mindwrecking. Same when i suddenly become center of attention among a group of people... I usually tend to leave asap when it happens.

Even thinking about such a situation and boom face goes red. I've wanted to die everytime on the spot when this happens.

Thing is that i don't even know why this started happening. I'd have no issue in stress situations or being in attention of a large group if it weren't for this... I have anxiety because of this shit issue .. not the other way arround. Started only arround early 20's and hasn't gone away since... I would be much more social/confident without this (and have been before it started).

I have to wear sunglasses to avoid awful headaches from lights.

People stare. I no longer give a damn. I did when I was younger though. Older you get, the more you really stop caring about stuff like that.

@Midnight

But logic and common sense side of it is okay for you?
I mean do you have any issue comprehending others when what you described happens to you?
When that happens to me I cannot focus and I ignore or don't understand others and can't remember details of conversations. I also tend to do stupid moves trying to seem that I "got it" but end up looking like a fool.

Yes apart from the reaction i have no issue at all and function like "normal" people. It's unfortunate that you have an even worse condition. Must be tough to be like this day in day out.
