What do you Do when Someone Stares at You? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. Muelitz (1025)   ranked 157 out of 9,273 in questions & answers4 months ago

What would you do if someone would stares at you? Would you go and confront the person and ask "what is your problem" which may end up in a fight? Or would you look away to avoid trouble?

Just Asking,
SFC

I would just look away. I have friends who would go up and say " Yes, what's your problem" and seen an argument start.

That is what I do as well. Avoid contact.:)

it would depend on who/where and how. If it was just some random person in the street I'd probably smile say 'good morning' or give them a wave and carry on walking. If it was someone i knew I'd just ask 'What??' If I felt threatened I'd avoid eye contact. What would you do?


myLot reputation of 95/100. Muelitz (1025)   ranked 157 out of 9,273 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Good answer! i would avoid eye contact when the person staring at me looks like a goon lol:)

Well maybe because you are a woman. In the case of men just a simple stare can get you into trouble. I have a friend who always gets in to trouble because of the way he stares lol.:)

I usually just smile n nod or wave at them....if they keep on staring i usually turn my lip up n say "what, is there a problem?"....but im not a confrontational person so that rarely happens.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Muelitz (1025)   ranked 157 out of 9,273 in questions & answers  4 months ago

i see you are a friendly one, to nod and smile to strangers.:)


sisteract388 (22)   ranked 4,400 out of 9,273 in questions & answers  4 months ago

If some one is staring at me ...will stare right back at them...usually win staring competitions...fighting fire with fire..It helps....but if it continues ..then i get panic and walk away....


myLot reputation of 95/100. Muelitz (1025)   ranked 157 out of 9,273 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Well it could work if you are a woman. In our case, somebody is going to get hurt lol.:)

Whenever I have been in this situation I have just ignored the person and looked away. Or else go somewhere else where I cannot be stared at by that person.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Muelitz (1025)   ranked 157 out of 9,273 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Yes, exactly what I would have done in most situations. Thanks for sharing.:)

Oh,what person is it?haha...
If it's a handsome boy with special meaning in his eye,then please stare at me the longer the better,i don't mind^_^
If it's an evil one,i will turn back or walk away fast,i will not quarrel with him to bring a fight.
Anyway,i know being stared by someone is really awful.:)

I am legally blind, so I really don't pick up on body language. I don't even notice if someone is staing at me. I just go about my business, and ignore them. They are easy to ignore since I am not aware of their behaviour.

That was basically my main problem today when I went to the mall earlier. I've gotten a few stares from people and inside my head I was wishing I could tell them "it's rude to stare". My hair was in a bit of a mess, that's why. I just raised my eyebrows at them.

I might ignore them or just stare back, depending on how I feel at the time, and sometimes I might even smile at them, if I didn't think they were a creep.
