Hi. I have this weird eye contact problem and wondered if anyone can relate...
I can't seem to see both eyes at the same time!! I look into one eye and can see the other eye in my peripheral vision but not very clearly at all and it really bothers and stresses me out! When I look at a face I don't really see it very naturally I am am aware that my eyes under normal circumstances should scan and move automatically, but because I am aware of this they don't anymore. When I look at someone I am always thinking about my eye movements and thinking about what eye to look at and for long long etc, it's kind of like an obsessesion I suppose.
This problem has gotten so bad that I now avoid eye contact altogether, especially when walking past people or going into shops. When I do make eye contact I feel really stressed and overwhelmed. I just wondered does anyone else have a similar problem, and if so how could I try and overcome it because everything I try has failed so far.
