why does everyone try to look into my eyes, I can't do eye contact
My body physically stops me
>Someone comes into my room
>have to place a take out order

Masturbation is kind of a weird thrill now, so there's that.

>eye contact
There should be a compromise. If somebody demands eye contact, you are allowed to strangle them, just the slightest amount, while you acquiesce. Just anything to make them feel my discomfort with the situation, for fuck's sake.
>someone greets me in public
>Turn to face them
>feel myself shaking as I rotate towards them
>They start to talk
>Passively give answers like "oh yea" "right? That's crazy" "Yea I saw that, good news huh?"
>Edge away from them as I give these answers turning my body away from them as much as possible
>"where are you headed off too?"
>"Ohhh nowhere in particular, bye!"
>Get away as fast as possible and don't go back to that store for at least a week.

And when they say something you weren't expecting like
"Would you like a side of ranch?"
"No thanks you have blue cheese?"
"No we don't"
"I-I g-guess I'll t-take the ranch...."
>shaking intensifies

>tfw almost 22 years old

It's how I naturally walk. I sometimes try to swing my arms but it feels weird. I'm never sure if I'm swinging them too much or too little.
