The title says it all. When u go 2 a store or sumthin do u ever see people stair at u or think they are? i know that its not polite to stair cuz it makes u feel like a freak or sumthin.

I got used to it that it sometimes happens and don't care much .

It might happen to me all the time in the upcoming months as I may spend some months in Trinidad and my pale skin and my striking red hair (and also the fact that I don't dress like a typical tourist would) make me stand out like an alien when I am there and everybody men, women and children stare at me as if I just came over there from planet Mars . So when I am there I really feel like a freak.

I stare back...

Do people stare at you?

Constantly when I wear heels. Sometimes when I don't. I've mostly gotten over people and their total fucking lack of manners, it only really bothers me now when they make comments.

You naughty boy

Depends if someone does this and the are exceptionally hot then it is perfectly acceptable

If on the other hand they are ugly and creepy then obviously they should be reported to the relevant authorities immediately

Thirdly if someone stares at me on the stairs then I am undecided as to their fate

nobody ever stares at me, except that one time in Barcelona when I was wearing a short dress and this guy couldn't keep his eyes off me

endymion said:

if they are ugly they shud be reported? do u know how many ugly people there are in this world. I mean once u get 90 ur not considered hott with ur grey hair and tits that sag 2 the floor. IDK wat exactly u meant.

RenHoek said:

I give them my Nina Simone piercing look...


Works like a charm

ZombieKitten said:

i never get stared at either. maybe i should wear a short dress. that might do the trick...

I'll look that person dead in the eye and sometimes I'll say "hello".
When it's a woman, my hello has that "don't hate" tone to it. When it's a man, the tone is more, "U obviously wanted to say something, so I did."

Yeah, it's obnoxious... but so is staring.

Sometimes it bugs me, Not when men do it, but when women do it... Then I get all defensive like, WTF u lookin at BITCH... I guess it just depends on the look on their face...

Umm yeah I was obviously to obtuse/ironic/flippant with that post just ignore it/me and move on dance4me3121

Can't say I do

I usually just smile or wink to break their stare or i'll just stare back

being in a wheelchair i geta lot more stares, it's better nowadays though i don't wanna complain much. but i admit sometimes people were shocked i could talk when i was a lil younger. its more accepted now/ i have both a manually hand moved wheelchair and an electric one, it does matter which one i'm in. if they stare i just smile and say "hey"

Yes. Very much so. Slowly, though, I'm learning how to ignore it.

I don't hate it but it can make me feel uncomfortable and self conscious.

I love staring at people!

It's sorta my way of saying "If you were any hotter, I'd have to murder you"

especially at restaurants when the waiter(s) keep watching you as if you're going to attempt an escape

Or security guards in shops.

onenitealone said:

I know, right? How am I suppose to steal this stuff?

onenitealone said:

yes!!

sometimes i just don't bother slipping my cell phone back into my pocket just to keep their eyes away

though that makes me sound even more suspicious

I attract them like a magnet. Only last week, I popped in a shop to see if they had something I needed - I was literally no more than 30 seconds; which could have been what sparked it. They didn't have what I wanted so I left, went to cross the street and, as I turned my head to see if traffic was coming, there was the security guard hanging his head outta the door, watching me.

Arrogant/paranoid/deluded as this may sound, I attract attention without even trying, sometimes. And that's not just security guards. It's frustrating - especially when you're having a 'shy' day.

im usually like " Yessss How can i assist you?" and they put the head down and walk away
