my eyes
it is sth like this. i cannot make eye contact wif people , catch with people’s eyes even though i want to . sorry if it is offensive
Yes, I have that. I have this belief, or my brain does, that people can see through my fake confidence and— witness the pathetic liar inside of me that’s trying to fool everyone. And that’s why I’m always quick to leave.
Since then, I’ve learned to slow glance and slow-look-away. Also, smiling and nodding once helps me. With certain types of people it’s like a power and dominance thing because of things that happened in childhood.

I don’t know if meds can treat this or even if it’s a part of schizophrenia because I had this since childhood.- But I was successful in making baby steps and, with people I trust, I can make eye contact in conversation. Just not extended contact which feels weird to me and probably 100% of every reasonable person.-----------
This is something to discuss with a therapist, possibly one specializing in behavior cognitive therapy.

for me it is more a problem of my mental state than psycho but maybe they are interelated
Great, reading about another problem. I get along fine without knowing what deficits and problems I’m supposed to have as a schizophrenic. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
