I am sorry for using these triggering words. I know it will upset some, who do not have ability to utilize eye content. Some good things of eye contact can be: love, acceptance. These are totally wonderful things to view in others eyes.
This doesn't upset me in any way. I, and I suspect many of us who have issues with eye contact, are aware of the connotations of failing to maintain it as might be expected of us by others. I think it sad to be judged by people who have no idea this is a problem and who apply their own negative judgement, but it is such a common experience that I barely even notice it any longer.
But on the other hand, what I can't achieve by eye contact, I am very capable of in other ways. And curiously, I have been offered all but one job I have interviewed for, and am on every interview panel for my employer. And my SO knows beyond doubt that she is loved.
