    Feeling uncomfortable: just another eye contact thread.

I feel like they're gonna crack up at how uncomfortable I look at any given moment. I don't know why. Before I had SA, 2 years...

    Laughing at inappropriate times

    Shy about my face

    This is going to sound really weird. But I have a phobia of my face. All my life I was extroverted and considered "beautiful" until drug use lead to psychosis which shook me to my core and made me socially anxious.
