Yeah, I also don't really force myself to do eye contact very much. I pretty much don't do eye contact ever unless it happens to pop into my mind and I do it for a few seconds out of politeness. Being autistic definitely caused me to struggle socially, but because I've been very isolated for the past year and a half that hasn't bothered me as much as it might have if I was in school or something (I'm actually going back to college in the fall, so I'll see how things are like then.)

I also rarely watch TV or movies, and when I do it's quite rare that I'll get invested enough to remember specific phrases or behaviors to repeat or whatever. I'm realizing that I think I mask a lot more online than irl? Online I will actually find myself falling into the speech patterns of a space I'm in (for example I used to spend a lot of time on tumblr and my friend and I joke that I have a "tumblr accent".) Irl I kind of just shuffle around as my awkward self.
