Social anxiety disorder
My problem is that I am unable to directly look into people’s eyes when I am trying to converse with them. Embarrassingly, I find my eyes tend to indirectly look at people’s sexual parts, for example, breasts, thighs, penis and so on. This condition occurs with whoever I am having a conversation with, i.e., men, women, young, old, work colleagues friends and relatives. I have no real control over this and I have suffered from this condition for the past 2.5 Years

Thoughts of this kind are called intrusive thoughts often seen with OCD. However, detailed consultation is required to comment further. OCD and social anxiety can be controlled with medicines and counselling. Consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment.
