    When I feel like making eye contact turns out you’re not supposed to directly look at people’s iris. I even shared “tips” to some friends about just switching to look at each eye to make it more “friendly”. Lmao.

      That’s brilliant. I’m on the spectrum and have always had issues with eye contact and feeling like I’m just STARING at someone. I usually will look in to someone’s eyes for like 2 seconds before the “pressure”(?) starts to build and I have to look somewhere else like their chin or forehead. I’ll try looking at each eye individually next time!
