Miscellaneous: Today, I'm a shy guy normally, and when I talk to my friends...

Today, I'm a shy guy normally, and when I talk to my friends I don't keep eye contact so I always look down even when I'm listening. My friend asked me why I always look at her boobs. FML

Today, I realized just how bad my problem with making eye contact is, when I caught myself looking the other way when the singer in a music video looked directly at the camera. FML

Today, I failed an oral speech because "I didn't look up once." The problem was, every time I looked up, my teacher looked down. Every time I looked down, she looked up. FML

Today, I realized just how shy and awkward I really am when I averted my eyes to avoid making eye contact with someone who turned out to be a cardboard cut-out. FML

Today, I went out to lunch with a girl I like and her best friend. We had a good time, even talked for a few hours at the restaurant, but after we left, she stopped talking to me. Her friend told her that I kept staring at her chest; I was trying to see what her pendant was. FML

Today, while looking through pictures of my boyfriend and me on Facebook, I noticed that in practically every single one featuring my best friend, his eyes are directed down her shirt. FML

Today, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and talk to my coworker because people have been saying I’m too shy. I say, "Hey" to a girl and she made fun of my voice. She’s the one who told me to talk more. FML

Today, I had to explain to this really intimidating girl that I wasn't giving her a dirty look, and that it was just my face at rest. FML

Today, I was at the mall blasting music. I was wearing a nice shirt, and had my iPod in my breast pocket. I noticed a cute girl smiling at me, so I smiled back and as she started to walk over, I turned down my music while smiling. It looked like I was rubbing my nipple. FML

Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML

Today, I was at a restaurant, and I saw my friend. When we made eye contact, I made a creepy face at her and twitched my arms to make her laugh. A woman looked over said sadly, "Oh my God, that poor girl!" She thought I was "special." FML

I find eye contact awkward and creepy too, I hate the fact that one teacher at my school told me not making eye contact is a sign of a liar or someone who has something to hide and pointed out another student who makes very good eye contact. I'm just shy but since she said that I always feel guilty when I look away now!! And the girl she pointed out happened to be real bitchy and known for bullying her friends! I really dislike that teahcer.

*relief!* I look to the left or right of people and try to focus on things on the walls behind the person. Eye contact is so creepy to me x;

I have that problem too, I can never look people in the eye and end up starting off somewhere, or in the case of girls often at their chests which sometimes gets mistaken as me being a perv!! :(

I happen to have Asperger's, actually. I have the same problem OP has. I hate social interaction because I'm always super awkward about it but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's a pretty shitty disease, but it's definitely managable
