I guess I'm used to people staring at me. When you are disabled you get used to it. Sad but true. I don't mind it if it is a child because they are innocent and they are just trying to understand. Adults, on the other hand, should know better. If they persists in staaring I just look at them smile real big. Gets them every time!

I understand how she felt. I hate it when people stare...I think it is rude. I never stare at people. However...I usually try to ignore it. I usually mumble something under my breath. However..I have seen people who shout at others who stare and curse them out..that is a bit extreme...These people obviously don't have the manners to know otherwise.

Evaluate each situation. If you think the person is admiring you, give them a disarming smile and "Hello" as you go by. That will make their day. If they are jealous, ignore them. Hold your head a little higher and move on. If you feel threatened, consider your options, look for security, get an accurate description of them in your mind so you can report them if they try to do harm to you. If you are drawing attention to yourself that you do not want, look at what you are doing. Make a few changes so as to take that attention away from yourself. You may have to dress down a bit, tone down your make up, buy the jeans a size larger, whatever is getting the unwanted attention. People stare at things that are special to them - the unusual.

I will try to know why that person is staring at me, if i get a proper response then its ok. Otherwise i will definitely take some action. By the way i am a Guy and i wont mind if someone is staring at me (Person staring at me must be a girl ok :))

I really hate being stared at too, it makes me think that people are judging me negatively and I just hate it. I don't think I'd upset myself to the point of having to be calmed down, but inside I would be an emotional wreck.

It depends on what kind of stare it is. If the person that's staring means no harm, then it's ok. But, if the person has something harmfull in mind, then I wondn't like it very much.
