In do this to a point, I have no problem with making eye contact but I overanalyze maintaining it, too much eye contact is seen as creepy or aggressive while too little shows disinterest but quite often I'm in a situation where I'm speaking to someone face to face in a room for 20+ minutes and after a while I start to be conscious of my eye contact, but way too much, I start to think I'm maintaining too much eye contact but then I can't just stop and randomly stare at a wall for a bit or focus on another object in the room because it makes it out that I'm not interested so I'll look down and scratch my arm, tie laces etc as an excuse to look away so I'm not always looking right in their eye to avoid them thinking I'm being aggressive or weird.
The whole thing makes me a little uncomfortable , I never even used to consider a thing like eye contact a year ago I don't really know what happened
IIN that i hate making eye contact?
