I often have difficulty looking people in the eyes. It's a failing, I know. I know what the general consensus is about that, the general negative connotation. I can fight and overcome the problem through force of will, but it isn't easy. As Sensitive as I am to people and their emotions, it's a hundred times stronger when looking at their eyes. Think of what it would be like to try to take a drink from a fire hose. That's what it feels like, the force I have to overcome. I can, and do when I need to. I suppose it's not a big deal. But I wish it wasn't so difficult.
