When I’m in a public space, I get super hyper aware of where I’m looking. I have to constantly have a conversation in my head of when to look at the subject of the room or when to divert attention, sometimes I look at where other people are looking to copy them so I don’t look out of place.
This problem does not happen in spaces where I’m familiar or comfortable, it’s just in those public spaces where I feel like an alien trying to figure out humans and blend in.
