It's emotional-assault, or brutalization.
It took me decades to desensitize to it.
Others don't like me having eye-contact with them, because I'm too intense.
Lose-lose situation.
Situation Normal, iow.

When people have told me that, I think it was because I was forcing myself to maintain eye contact rather than do it naturally like NTs do, so I would do wayyy to much of it 😳, which made them feel uncomfortable. "How do you like it‽" 😆
