Dark sunglasses?

I act pretty normal but inside I am blank, and I have motor control issues. When I say I am blank I mean I have no internal monologue or ability to detect my emotions. I have an IQ of 160 but my inability to recognize faces, or tie my shoes, or tell when I am happy makes me feel sub-human.

I have tried that, people just think I am shifty and strange if I wear them inside. I can do that outside though.
