I am in no way a professional but maybe you are on the spectrum. Ever
thought about getting your head checked out? What you are describing is
pretty close to how you act. Pointing it out and denying also engaging
in it is common among people on the spectrum who are completely
unaware. It is hard to get thrown through bullshit and not become a
asshole. On the bright side still better than being a dumbass
neurotypical who will make someones life hell for not giving the correct
amount of eye contact. The correct amount is not documented anywhere and
asking is rude and doesn't get answers yet we are somehow excepted to
know? If being rigid is the alternative to whatever the fuck is up with
neurotypicals so be it.
