We've all been stared at by one or a few people here and there and it really is uncomfortable. For me, I feel like if I look down or look away then the person who is constantly staring at me has "won", so now I stare back... sometimes I'll smile, wink or raise an eyebrow. If people are going to stare me down and make me feel uncomfortable for no reason, then might as well play along right? It's not like I'm going to get into a fight. lol What would you guys do?
If it's someone I don't know ill break eye contact but if it's soemone I'm friends with or don't like then I'll stare them down if it's the last thing I'll do
I've had people staring at me and I've asked them if they are alright. That sometimes works but it's rare
I usually just calmly look away, wait about 5 seconds and then look to see if they are still staring. Luckily no one has ever kept on staring.
If it's a friend: If it's someone I find to be annoying: If it's a stranger: I usually don't stare back at strangers, as I never know what kind of problems they have. Better safe than sorry.
Lol these are great!! I only ask because a woman was staring at me the whole time while I was having lunch with friends and I was thinking, "You're not putting me in my place with that uneven lash liner makeup."
Depends on the context of why either of us are staring, but in general... I'll usually go about my business for a bit, look up and if they're looking, go back to what I was doing. If they're still looking, I'll lock eyes with them, stare for a few moments, and see if they'll look away. If they do, great. The problem is usually solved. But if they don't, I usually follow up with one of these: "The fuck you looking at?", if I'm getting a negative vibe. "You just going to keep looking, or are you going to tell me how sexy I am?", if I'm getting a curious/interested vibe. "If you're going to undress me with your eyes, you may as well take me out to dinner first.", if I'm wanting to break the ice/test the tension.
When people stare at me, I just ignore them. I know why they are and the fact that they don't have the heart to think about why I weight so much shows what kind of person they are. They can go ahead and fill their lives with negativity if they so choose. That's their problem.
I ignore them. No reason to give them the idea that they're worth any trouble. It does astound me though, some peoples' lack of manners. I grew up thinking it was not polite to stare at people so I don't do it.
Is this common? I can't recall that it's happened to me one single time, unless babies or small children are included.. in which cases I usually respond with making a silly face.
