I'm good with other people's faces... not so much my own lol.

It's either natural or automatic and I also use my hands a lot to talk.... or I just realize I had a 10 minute conversation with someone and I was looking away from them completely which they must have found very odd (not just not looking at their eyes but not even looking in their direction).
It depends how comfortable I'm feeling. I'm very good at putting on a mask because I can't even tell whether I've got a mask on or not or the difference between a genuine or non-genuine emotion, lol.
it's really obvious when someone's face is angry or sad or happy or whatever... but I can't tell whether they're faking it or not. Which is why I struggle so much with my own face and emotions and stuff. I'm not good at spotting lies or bluffs either (but luckily I'm still good at poker because the fact I can't even read myself makes it almost impossible for anybody else to read me).
What autistic like symptoms do you have?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
