when i was younger, and still living with my parents, i went to the supermarket with my mother, and she told me several times that someone was staring at me (i mean guys. i kinda cute, you know) but i never noticed!
do you have a problem noticing when someone stares at you?

No, I have the opposite. I can sense when somebody is staring at me. I can just kind of feel it, and I can also see people's faces aimed right towards me in my periphery. 9 times out of 10 I do not look at people, but I still notice their gaze. Most people don't seem to understand, when I moan ''aww, people keep looking at me like I've got 2 heads!'' the people I'm with just say ''well, don't look at them then.'' So I've got to keep explaining that I can just feel it, even when I look ahead.

My mother used to say that "everyone was looking" when I acted up as a child but I never noticed anyone looking. I figured that she was trying to shame me into being good, not that I cared if anyone looked.
