>at work (front facing customer service local government job)>most people nice to me, friendly, smiling>outside work/on the street>no one ever makes eye contact with me, people look away from me as if in fear sighi'm literally just tall and skinny and slightly ugly why do people think i'm gonna kill them or somethingthe disconnect at work (because i'm helping people) vs people not knowing who i am and acting afraid of me is massive
>>84230653>people look away from me as if in feari don't think it's out of fear. i think that you tell yourself that because it makes you feel better
>>84230653You're probably being creepy and invasive by trying to force eye contact with people walking by, that shit is annoying, especially as an autist.
>>84230675well it's because i'm unattractive but i don't know how else to phrase it, they avoid me because i'm a gargoyle? >>84230684i don't force anything. i used to have anxiety and thought everyone was staring at me all the time, now i stare a normal/human amount which is very little
>>84230707Try minding your own business and not trying to make eye contact with random people outside
