I find that very hard to believe. |
i don't....i don't know why
all the funny things i think when i'm on my own just fly out my brain and i end up sounding like the fucking rain-man
and i switch from being completely unable to get my self to look people in the eye to stareing
in essence i seem to malfunction

While I know you have the best of intentions Alice, I think things like that are best left to PM. A statement like that could end a discussion.

no i have dyspraxia. and in most people that means a dislike of eye-contact.
however when i was in primary school i used to get told off alot for not looking adults in the eye when they were talking to me so i started habitually forcing myself to. but because i hate it so much i seem to switch between the two.
seee! i malfunction in person!!

I disagree. We all make responsive remarks in response to what we post to one another on here.
If a person doesnt want 'unwanted' comments, they avoid saying certain things publically.
And it didnt end the discussion, did it?
Raven has previously made it publically known she has dypraxia, and she's taught me something about it regards to the eye contact thing. Others may well be interested. If Raven didnt want to discuss it, she wouldnt mention it. Or reply to my comments.

another thing that alot of dyspraxics do is over-explain things going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on........

Not engaging in "The Norm" eye contact is not malfunctioning as a person!!
You obviously have a pleasant personality that more than makes up for it - I have met people who use the usual eye contact who bore the pants off me, so dont be so hard on yourself!!
Two tips: When you cant help staring and you like the person, tell them they have gorgeous eyes ( a real winner!) and the opposite, talk about things/people around you so it seems thats why you are looking away alot.

How I impressed my ex-hubby: I was 19 and he was very impressed at my table dancing in the pub hahahaha
And my current fella said he was immensely impressed that foregoing a romantic dinner out and instead helping his chronically ill mum in a cheerful manner, not just once but on many occasions has not phased me.
Not sure if that actually says anything good about me, but at least I've impressed the fellas!

Although looking at the first page of the a dyspraxia support organisation is no way to learn about a condition, I have to admit that I've suffered a lot of similar problems that I had to work through during hostile times at school.
Fortunately I've generally found that being a lateral thinker has helped me work this kind of thing out. I still trip up, in many ways, from time to time though, of course.
My recommendation would be to find ways to socially interact, face to face, with the age range of men that you want to date, *outside of dates*. Use those times to practise away from the stress of dating.

I'm going to let you into a secret Raven, I hate eye-to-eye contact, yet one of the things people have said they liked about me was that I made eye contact. How? I look at the bridge of their nose! I could talk to someone for ages seemingly making good eye contact, but couldn't tell you the colour of the eyes... 'cos I rarely look. Try it, it can make a difference to how you are percieved and will help to build your confidence a little bit. And of course there's that secret feeling of having 'one up' on the person your speaking to

Bit late to join in on the eye talk, but i was wondering if thats how its like with you.
