What Causes The People To Feel Like Their Breasts Are Observed During A Converstion?

I m 23 yrs old guy. I m facing a really bizarre problem. Whenever I talk to my female co-workers, my sister or any female out there, they make me feel like I am looking at the boobs but I keep the eye contact all the time. They start put their hand on the neck to show me that I m looking. The things get worse when boys too show me the same behavior like putting hand on neck or by any means they just try either not to make eye contact with me or just they end the conversation with me. The worst part takes place when my very own sister does that. I know myself. I am a nice with no bad habits.I am not a pervert who has sex on his mind all the time. This social phobia is increasing day by day. I am scared to talk to anyone. I cant even tell my problem to anyone becoz they would make fun of me or just say its not a problem at all. But, please help ........I need it......

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello Welcome to HCM

You have problem that you always tries to look into the eyes while having a conversation. You feel that people are thinking that you are looking at their breasts. Even with family members you have such problem and this thing is causing loss of confidence.

Most probably your complaints are occurring due to Social anxiety disorder and this has reached to obsessional level. You have started thinking that you should not look into the breasts and due to this you continuously look in individuals eyes. You becomes conscious due to that and this has resulted in social impairment.

I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for that. Behavior therapy will help in decreasing the undesired behaviour. Medicines like hight dose escitalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine etc are commonly used to decrease anxiety. For symptomatic relief low dose benzodiazepines or propranolol can be used.

Consult a psychiatrist for prescription and evaluation.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
