I'm not sure if i saw your distress when i first responded as i missed that you said you felt obsessed.

He could be hiding his eyes as part of being a blank slate, i hate to say it but i once had a therapist hide his eyes. It can get very scary, and yes, you'd only be in the room alone because it has the effect of mirroring yourself back to you. No matter what your issues are.

If that is the case, maybe he isnt sleeping. I actually do think he is doing it purporsely, now that i reread how it makes you feel...
