Oh my, that's my problem too. I can't focus my eyes to someone's eyes while conversing. Worse, when I talk to a woman - with plunging neckline, with unbuttoned button, in body-fit shirt... So embarrassing that even old women had to grab their neckline while I am talking to them. Please help me!

Believe me, this is not much of problem.

I tend to stare straight through ones eyes when I am communicating with them. Some people get scared, while others think I like them. The worst is when people break out smiling or laughing.
Maybe it is because nobody thinks I'm serious.
But when I do give eye contact whilst someone is talking to me, they think of it as a little too 'extreme'.

Don't worry if you can't give direct eye contact. You're not supposed to do it for a long time anyway. Give them eye contact for a few seconds when you're talking to someone/someone is talking to you. When you can't take it any longer, look around the room to give the illusion that you are thinking about what they are saying. And as long as you are really thinking, your response will be much better than just an 'eww'. Lol.

Good luck!

And if their breath stinks its even worse I'm sure my reaction shows some sign of disgust.

laugh.gif I was scrolling through your profile when this post caught my eye, and after reading through a few lines I could barely hold back the laughter. Where's a rolling on the floor smiley when you need it? This is hilarious! I too have a difficult time gazing into someone's eye's for any length of time, but I don't consider it a problem, per se, just a personal quirk that's probably pissed off more than a few extroverts who've had the misfortune of meeting the Enlightened Misanthrope in person. For one thing, I find myself feeling nauseous when close enough to actually smell someone's foul breath - and let's face it, few things smell nastier than a human mouth that hasn't received it's proper cleaning. I'm always horrified how long some folks go between brushings, literally allowing their teeth to decay and fall out before realizing something is desperately wrong with that big hole in their face. Speaking of holes, those two little crevices under the eyebrows also make me feel ill if I'm forced to stare into them for very long. I become dizzy, and soon find myself backing away from the holes in question, or averting my gaze elsewhere - anywhere but those two holes. But that can be difficult when interacting with the miscreant with no personal boundaries. You know the type. They get so physically close you have nowhere to look but their eyes and nothing to breathe but their foul breath. And then there's Hollywood. That filthy institution that glorifies long, romantic stares between paid actors who regretfully influence the masses. Thankfully, I'm sitting here on a computer in front of a sterile screen that doesn't force me to stare into it's loving pixels any longer than I feel comfortable. No rank odors and no physical interaction. How divine!
