These feelings are coming from being stared at. I can manage them by staring at people back in not so pleasant ways and having a weapon in a pocket if the staring contest escalates.
- crote 3mo agoHow do you know those people aren't staring at you because you started staring at them in an unpleasant way in response to them randomly glancing a look vaguely in your direction? I don't stare at people. They don't stare at me either. Problem solved?
- juleiie 3mo agoI check if people are looking at me. It’s useful and sometimes they do. Then we are locked in staring at each other like two cats.

- Grombobulous 3mo agoEvery major city I’ve ever lived in or visited mostly involved people doing the exact opposite of staring because urban culture generally has a “leave everyone else alone and mind your own business” aspect to it. Because of that observation, I think it would be wise for you to dig deep on whether something about your own perceptions is failing you in this regard. I think there’s a strong likelihood that either something about your physical appearance looks very different, your own behavior is causing staring, or the staring isn’t happening at all in the way you describe. Unless you just live in a specific place/culture where staring is prevalent.
- juleiie 3mo agoIt’s not my business to make sure people aren’t staring. It’s your business to keep your eyes where they belong - straight ahead.
- Grombobulous 3mo agoBut surely you can understand the reasons behind my doubts, even if you don’t agree with them. I can’t trust your perspective if you have a habit of wearing clown suits around town. I can’t trust your perspective if you are mistaking a normal momentary glance as a stare and are responding aggressively, exacerbating the problem, and you basically admitted that you escalate these “staring contests.”

- vidarh 3mo agoI would urge you to seek help, as this attitude is not exactly indicating sound mental health.
- juleiie 3mo agoIt sure isn’t. I am an artist really at the core and I need to be little unhinged to create. Of course I am not saying everyone should be crazy but it is what works for me.
