How does one "feel surveilled"?

• jonathanstrange 3y ago
  You've never felt like someone is watching you?
  • Zetice 3y ago
    I understand such a feeling is purely made up and not worth acknowledging, so I don't legitimize that thought.
    • omniglottal 3y ago
      Given the fact is legitimate, people legitimize the thought of it and self-censorship ensues.
      • Zetice 3y ago
        It's not legitimate? As I said, being watched != being recorded.
• SpaghettiCthulu 3y ago
  It's a feeling you get when you suspect (or in this case know) that you're being watched or recorded.
  • Zetice 3y ago
    Being watched != being recorded, and there is no sense a human has that can detect the gaze of another human.
    • nsvd 3y ago
      Surely a human can detect the gaze of another human when they see that human looking at them.

      Human eyes can absolutely detect the gaze of another human, as well as the existence of cameras.
