Why Do People Stare?

I get the starers, too. It used to annoy me, but I decided to just stop noticing, and I guess it worked.
I was out with my sister the other day, and she said, "Jeez, does everyone always stare at you?" And I honestly hadn't even noticed, so I guess putting it out of your mind might make it easier.*shrugs* just do your thing and don't worry about what they're doing.
I can totally see them staring at you....0 -
Because they don't see this much awesome every day
*stare*
Shirt. Off.
*stare*
I think you're such a cutie pie, I hope you're not serious:flowerforyou:0 -
Maybe they're staring at you wondering what the **** you're staring at.0

"Like this" I have been trying this; but today was just one of those days, when I wanted to turn around and "SAY WHATTTT"!!! I have gone thru this my entire life, when I was younger I was insecure so it really bothered me. Then I went through I am just so gorgeous they can't help it. Now it just annoys the hake out of me.........0 -

No sweetie, you can feel when people are staring. Like with the instance at work, I turn around in my chair and catch them, because I feel their eyes burning the back of my head......And then they scurry or try to look away when I catch them.0 -
Paranoia will annoy ya.0

Well, bless your heart, it was only a suggestion. While people do randomly stare off on occassion, I find people don't generally stare at other people without reason on a regular basis. Howevever, I do agree with some other suggestions that you really could just get to the root of the issue by asking.0 -
This is a consequence of our TV-driven culture. People are used to being an audience that views what is happening around them - not an active participant.
I despise it0 -
hahahaha i do this very same thing . sometimes i end up getting embarassed cause i dont even realize i do it . Take it as a compliment i guess . I have a thin and pretty friend , every were we go , men & women stare at her . i dont think she notices or just dosnt say . i find it annoying when men are with there wife and they stare.0

Dude...I know exactly what you mean. I have this one coworker who will come stand in the little doorway that's the entrance to my section of the office. He just stands there, looking at me, waiting for me to acknowledge him. I'm like, "Dude, say something or go sit the *kitten* back down!"0

I get starers too. It makes me feel so awkward, I used to think it was just paranoia but when I'm with people they pick up on it too. I think people nowadays just don't realise that staring can be rude and make people feel uncomfortable. Either that, or some people just don't care; people lack empathy.0

Ok my sister in law wants to know why I get stared at every time we go out. I'm tall and a redhead. I figure I'm different looking enough. Don't mind it but do want to ask each person why to see what's going thru their heads0

Also the OP...you are very exotic looking. Ppl don't see that every day.0

I have the tendency to stare at absolutely nothing. If you happen to be in my field of vision it might look like I am staring at you but believe me I am not.
If it's JUST you and at the office though, I'd double check my deodorant, wonder if I was the only ethnic person there, and try to make an effort to stare back a few times like full on copulatory gaze and see if that changes things. It could get them to look away, or it could get you an invitation to take it outside. You decide if it's worth the risk.0 -

yeah sometimes when I get a new friend they look at me whenever it happens like as though i should do something about it. they get used to it soon though...and shrug it off too.0 -
Because they are jealous, or trying to intimidate you, or have a crush on you.. I don't know how you can refrain from poking their eyes out. Hang in there with that.0

Ask them if you have a booger hanging out0

But if you're looking at them (which is clearly how you noticed that they stare at you) maybe THEY actually think you are staring at them?!?!
Sometimes if I notice someone looking at me, I wonder, "oh crap maybe now they think I was checking them out!!
^ this.
As I told a pupil who told another pupil off for staring at him, you wouldn't know if you weren't staring back.
And, OP, like it or not, you're stunning!
Personally, I don't have this problem. Just getting my pupils to look vaguely in my direction (preferably at the board) can be hard at times :laugh:0 -
I thought this thread was about boobs.0

I really don't try to stare, but if I see something that prompts me to give a good look, I will definitely do that. I saw this woman the other day who had massive sideburns, like mutton chops. I had to get a good look at that.0

Are you sure it's really them staring at you and not them returning YOUR stare because if you're not staring, how do you know they are?0

, wonder if I was the only ethnic person there

I'm okay with people staring... but, darnit, if I catch you staring PLEASE look away. If I catch you staring and you continue staring after eye contact has been made, it just gets awkward. After the 6th time of me looking away and looking back to see if you are staring, you are guaranteed to get a stank face.0

No one stares at me unless I'm wearing my Stetson.
And then they stare at the Stetson.0 -

...hey wait a minute, isn't this an ozzy osbourne song??
... you, looking at me, looking at you ...0 -
I believe that as women, we tend to notice the stares more than a man would if the stares were directed at him. I get stared at alot too...maybe people just get tired of looking at themselves, so they look at everyone else?!?!0

I say..Can I help you? That usually throws them:)0
-
Mom! He's lookin' at me!!!
I get stared at from time to time. I figure it's 'cuz I'm just so white & nerdy.0 -
I usually ask ppl that stare at me if they've "Heard any good rumors lately?"0
