Eye Contact please help and Introduction

Oh, For God Sakes, I can't make eye contact with people when I am nervous! in general!

Now,.... I am visiting here ... mostly because..... I would love advice....
1. There was this guy, at his job, he used to stare at me..... He liked me! I have no idea what his story is now? He might have Autism..... Is there any hope for dating?
2. How would 2 people ever make eye contact???? is this important to him? Please, would anyone care to share Ideas of this particular issue? PLEASE..... It seems childish, but that is what I have issues with right now. Please help.


ah, ahem, this was much more long and rambling, as I tend to do so. I edit. please..... It makes me uncomfortable to talk about myself. I'm all social awkwardness and not a brilliant scientific genius, not fair! I was told by my Doctor that thyroid affects the brain, nerves, all kinds of things the Doctors do not even understand it all..... I am pretty sure , in all honesty and kindness, I might not be Aspie enough for everyone here..... I am ever the non conforming artist type. And I'm OK with that...... I don't want to fit into a box shape anyway..... I enjoy reading the posts.... learning more about Aspie -like traits that I feel that I share, and very close family members share these traits as well (as other traits also).

It seems like my therapist may be considering this diagnosis for me? It makes sense that I could deserve a second chance since the former diagnosis/symptoms do not seem to be plaguing me in all the years he has known me.....

Here's a thread on eye contact that might help. A variety of responses over this issue which can be daunting for many Aspies. It's one trait I was able to overcome myself to a degree.

In my case though I don't hold any sustained gaze into anyone's eyes. I make just enough eye contract to make it appear genuine. I know others effectively focus a gaze slightly off...looking at their mouths, chins, etc..just not directly into one's eyes.

Welcome aboard. Thyroid medicine does not impact eye contact, I take it daily. Thanks for introducing yourself :)
I love art too! Here is a peaceful night sky.
