Do people stare at you?

Post Reply New Topic

Yep, I get stared at quite often, don't know why. I tend to look at the ground or avoid eye contact, mainly because I don't want my thoughts read. I really sometimes wonder if the people in Hollywood can read my mind because some of the stuff that comes out are similar to my ideas. Grrr.

Oh geez, you guys are beginning to scare me if you can't figure these obvious things out!

They stare cause they fear what they don't understand...and they don't have anything better to do either.

Why do you think teens used to "hang out" at stores in the mall? Just "hang around"? Really productive, right?

Well, I basically see them as the average NT.....

And understand, when one person in a group stands out just a little bit, y'can't NOT notice it; it's part of human nature.

I mean...I once read this account that some basketball player was offered some deal at a nearby McDonald's: basically, he could eat at the restaurant for free, providing they let people come in and stare at "the big black guy, sitting at the table, eating McDonald's food". I can't make this stuff up! It sounds totally idiotic, yes, but....most humans don't exactly go by the name Albert Einstein, either!

Yes.

Generally it's guys who stare. But I think guys stare at any girl who is at least minimally attractive so I just ignore it these days.

Sometimes groups of people, and groups of girls stare, but I always know why they are staring (these are the times where I act how I want on purpose and know I am not being socially acceptable; such as when I sing out loud in public, or wear tie-dyed tops and black leggings when they're not in fashion . In these cases I like to be stared at; give them a shock, jolt them out of their conformist complacency).

Yes. It's very annoying sometimes, because I hate drawing attention to myself. Sometimes I look back at them confused and have to wonder if I'm in the wrong room or something. But usually isn't the case. It's probably because of the way I dress.

yes. i either look back confused or snap my head away. made the mistake of returning the gaze with some friends before
and end up froze on the spot until i get distracted by something

Yes, and it's because I'm beautiful.

No, funnily enough they don't.

I've been told they do.

Yes, cos I am suave:P

Those exact type of girls you mentioned also stare at me too.
I told my sister and she says it's jealousy, and I think she's right.

I'm glad I don't have to slap a load of make up on my face before I face the world.

They do!...but that's cuz I stare at them. I can't help it! I just fascinated by the diverse faces of human kind. Young, old, white, black, etc... But I wouldn't dare stare at a crossed-eyed, buck-toothed, hermaphrodite...I wouldn't dare.

Pretty much all the time. I think maybe it's my meerkat stuffed animal backpack. I've gotten lots of comments on how cute it is but I'm sure there's people who think I'm breaking some sort of fashion law.

I also get stared at quite a lot, and I don´t know why. If they stare at me while I´m walking down the street, I just stare back, usually. But the staring definitely intensifies if I am with someone, and I am talking to that person. People really stare at me then...I was wondering if I talk funny or something, but I don´t think so- no one has mentioned it. It´s strange because I´m not sure if they are listening to my conversation or something. I´ve been on trains, talking to someone next to me, and suddenly look up and notice that the entire train of people are staring at me! This can be quite off-putting....

People definitely stare at me. I think it happens for a variety of reasons. For one thing I'm terribly clumsy and often trip over something or crash into a stationary object or corner of the wall that could easily be avoided. This seems to draw people's attention. I can't possibly imagine why. ;) Especially if I laugh loudly when it happens, as I often do. Also, I tend to look around a lot in public spaces so I think the constant darting eye movements get weird too. Alternatively, looking only down, which I also sometimes do, is probably a bit odd. I also have a tendency to pace back and forth. I am also what would be considered a conventionally attractive young woman. So that is some of the reason for staring too.
