I don't want to get a diagnoses, I don't care and it takes too much time, money and I don't want it on my medical records.

However, I'd like to improve myself on recognizing the emotions and eye's of others (i.e., I could keep on talking and annoying people sometimes without noticing it). I can do alot myself, but maybe I'm better of with some consultant for I may still fail to see things about myself.

Where would one find such help? I don't have much faith in psychiatrist since they appear only to be able to issue some standard tests.

You can work on these problems by yourself. Read up about body language and watch two people interact. Study their movements and how they talk. Recognising emotions comes with a lot of experience. Maybe get another person to help explain them to you?
