Reply to comment by rot in Neurotypical people of raddle, what's it like not being autistic? by groovygardener42069
It's a cultural thing, to be fair to non-western neurotypicals.
Some cultures avoid eye contact because it comes off as too aggressive and others don't even have small talk as a concept.
The trick for me is focus on one specific part of the face near the eyes and occasionally go back to the eyes in 4 second intervals; sometimes I turn my head in another direction as if I noticed something for a few seconds of respite.
