awwww megan. you are not strange or anything else. you are just a young woman with a bad partner atm. maybe its because some of them may see what person he is, or because you feel very unsure atm. just ignore them and think they are all jealous because i look so beautiful. thats what i do when i feel they are all looking at me. and if it goes worse, i ask them if they want to have a picture from me. believe me, they stop it lol

Hugs, Megan. They may be looking at you in sympathy. If they are not, they are the strange ones. I get stared at when I'm in a new place because the people there think I'm a foreigner just because my hair is long ( I pinned it up in a bun ) and I always wear a blouse and a long skirt. Long skirts and long hair are not common among women of my age here in the public housing estates. Some older men had the wrong idea that I was a hooker. Lol. They whistled and broke into a song when they saw me walking passed them. Finally they stopped doing it after they got used to seeing me. Some still stare at me. I ignore them.

i think u are absolutely normal. anyone would feel uneasy whe others stare at her/him. but maybe u are bothering about actually noticign such people. we al are stared at really bad once in a while, but u seem to be taking it far too seriously and making notes of it. just take it easy. people stare for various reasons, dont u? just be confident adn give them a damn if they stare at u next time. think in your mind' i dotn care for fools like that' and move on. forget it, u are sane..

If you are concerned that you are going mental schedule an appointment with a professional such as a Counselor, Psychologist or a Psychiatrist. Good Luck.

Maybe they think you are too young to have a daughter? If your profile page is to be believed, you are "only" 19... If you are sure you are not paranoid, then that's something wrong with those people. Just imagine you are a super star and shrug off their envious glares. :P

well well well lordqizard, i suppose that COULD play a big role in why there looking at me because i really don't look 19 in all honesty i look about 15 or 16 haha! i still get asked for ID because people don't believe my age! hmm well at least im a good mum that doesn't bother me, im going to try and just ignore them from now on, if this isn't the reason why there not looking at me, then i don't really know what is, lol! thanks alot for responding! =)

Are you positive these people are staring at you? They could be looking at something totally different. Are you under a lot of stress lately? Sometimes stress can make people paranoid for no reason.

Uhh... what are the reasons they stare at you? that's pretty strange... Try changing your clothes.. if they still stare at you try changing the way you walk.. etc.. Just try different things out!!.

Both instances that you mentioned your partner was with you. Could people be staring at your partner? Or could they be people that know your partner and dislike him?

I don't mean to be rude but how can I (or anyone else) answer your question I don't know what you look like, I dont know if you act weird, I dont know if you dress outrageously, I also don't know if your partner is really horrible or he is just truthful and you are paranoid. He must know you better than I do!

Do you dress a little differently or have a lot of piercings or something like that? I get a lot of nasty stares from people just because I have a lot of tattoos (happened just last week at a school event I was at with my son....guy looked like he wanted to smash me in the face)....as long as you are happy with yourself, just ignore the stares.

If this happened a lot of times (the strange starring) may be those people are really looking at you in this way and it's not just your imagination. But the question is why. I don't know you and it will be really hard for me to tell, but I'll try. Let's see you seem normal from the discriptions I've read, you have a child and you're 19, as I understood - this is one of the hipoteses - you know what I mean, they would probably think that you're too young for a child and you can figure out other related stuff as well. Another guess I will make is gossips. May be the people who know you are talking something about you behind your back. It had happened to me already. However 'IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT YOU BEHIND YOUR BACK, THE IMPORTANT THING IS WHEN YOU TURN BACK THEY'RE IN SILENCE'! Remember this, ignore them and never tyhink of yourslef as an idiot or something common.

I feel that way too sometimes. Maybe it also depends on the way you're reading their expression. It could just be a glance of acknowledgement or that you really are paranoid. At least you aren't like me whereas I feel as though everyone is probably secretly whispering bad things about me as I walk by.
