Ann Seeley

I have full multisensory aphantasia plus Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (which I discovered through this site) and I was very happy to learn about both of these neurological differences as it has helped me to understand part of why I have always seen the world somewhat differently. However I can't recall having had any particular problems with eye contact once I'd left a very shy childhood behind (whenever that was :-)) But perhaps it all depends on what is the cultural norm. Here in England we are not expected to engage strangers with full eye contact, but I've been told that in the US the reverse is true. For about 25 years much of my life was spent working with very young children, so eye contact was an important part of the job.

Hello Joe. Have you ever come across the Enneagram, especially as taught by the Enneagram Institute dot com? Since discovering it about 15 years ago it has helped me enormously to see and understand more about my own way of seeing and experiencing myself and the world.
