I've had a lazy eye (strabismus) noticably since I was 10 or so and in the past I have been bullied about it. It's really hard to look people in the eye when engaging in conversations as I tend to think they are judging me and I feel insecure about it. I was wondering if anyone else here suffers from the same thing and how do they cope with it x
