Do you ever catch people staring at you? How do you feel?

Post Reply New Topic

Whenever I catch someone looking at me I usually think to myself wow is my weirdness that noticable? I really hate it when they are with someone then they start talking about something to their friend then they look back at me as if they are asking their buddy to verify whether or not they think I am weird.

Surely I must be very boring to look at, when I'm just standing around being another ordinary-looking human-being, just like the rest, even if I do give off some vibes. If I see somebody who might look a bit different, I don't just stare at them. What good does it do, except make them feel more self-conscious, and makes them feel like they look like Elephant Man when they're just trying to get on with their life?

I thought NTs had an understanding of other people's feelings? They can't do, if they glare at other people who may look a bit different just because they've got a blank face. If only some NTs of today realised how pathetic they are, going around staring at other people who aren't even trying to look different! If I was acting different, like skipping around with my arms flying about in the air and really making myself look like a real fool, then fair enough. Even I would stare if somebody was behaving like that near me. But when I'm just standing there, or walking to my destination, like everybody else, then I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Although I really don't see what the reason is to stare at this, but I've figured people might stare at me because I don't look aware of what's around me or something. (It's a stupid reason to stare, I know. But hey - that's NT thinking for you! ). Today I held my head up and looked around at other people while I was walking, and it seemed the more I looked around at others, the less looks I actually got. I don't mean staring at other people, but I just mean constantly looking around at what's going on, not really looking at anyone in particular, yet not looking away from everyone either. It worked on me anyway.

Yes....from cars, and they'll give me weird faces because I'm usually talking to myself....makes me laugh.
