how do you feel when people are staring at you in public, what the first thought that goes through your mind. mine is maybe, i didn't dress well and also i feel like vanishing into the thin air.

I don't like it at all! I think it's rude to stare. When someone stares at me, I wonder what on earth is on that person's mind. I tend to check myself out if there is something that looks funny or odd on me. Then I would stare back. Sometimes I would even ask them if there's anything they want from me. That way they would realize that they are staring oddly at me.

what about when you are staring at people, i can recall an incidence in which i was looking at a girl, but to be honest my mind was wandering somewhere else to my greatest surprise she shouted at me and said stop looking at me, wow, i was like she never take her time to understand that i was lost in thought.

Haha.. that means you really need to be conscious of yourself at all times. You know you don't fee comfortable when someone stares at you so it's best not to do it too. I don't like people staring at me, so I never stare either. I only stare back when someone is staring at me.

I hate it, I get very uncomfortable, I also get paranoid too, thinking they are laughing at me or looking at me like I am a freak. I have a low self esteem and will take it personally if someone stares at me, never do I think hey they are looking at me positively. I will turn away if they look at me or hurry on. I also feel like I wasn't the main exhibit in the museum! It's not nice. I don't stare at people so why do people stare at me??

i also feel that way, i understand how you feel it makes you feel inferior or not being appreciated by those people.

I feel a bit self-conscious and also wonder if something is wrong to the point of paranoia sometimes! Like, do I have something on my fave/teeth? Is my nipple sticking out?? LOL
I try not to stare at people because I don't like when people do it to me, and I don't often catch myself staring.
I do work at a bar and sometimes when people get drunk they tend to "gaze" so I just try to ignore it, but I do become more self-conscious and paranoid!

I hate when people stare at me i get uncomfortable. I also think they are talking about me. When ever i wear this one eye shadow i have people look at me all the time. They always end up asking me where i got it from also. So when i do wear that eye shadow i just always think maybe they are looking at that. Other then that i hate when people look at me.
