There is something about you that is either very nice to look at, or something very awful to look at. (sorry, if it's the latter). It can also be that you are self conscious about something, so you feel like people are staring, when maybe they are just looking around and you happen to look up as they are glancing. This has happened to me before, and I did ask myself if they were staring. It could be that you are a very pretty girl, and other girls stare in envy or in jealousy. I think most people have some level of social anxiety, but yours does seem bit extreme. If you have a very close friend who will tell you the honest to God truth (even if it's a negative response), I would ask that friend why you think people are staring. Tell her you want the truth. Perhaps if she says it's the way you dress, then you can tone it down a bit. If you are a beautiful looking woman, then embrace yourself! Not everyone is great looking. If this is so, people will look at you because they admire you. If this is becoming overwhelming to you where you don't even want to go out anymore, then I would say a visit to the doctor is necessary. He can prescribe medicine to deal with your anxiety. To fully answer your question, I feel this way myself sometimes. I usually think they are looking, because I am a good looking woman. If they want to look, fine, but after awhile, it can make anyone nervous! Good luck!

i have that too... and i shake if people look me in the eye.... Give me your yahoo id so we can chat

Hey that is normall for some people like my fiance she has that but she is slowly getting out of it so evuntually ou will get out of it

well what do u look like? I have the opposite problem people never look at me, they never make eye contact not even for a second. I dont know why, but ive learned to ignore it, this only advice i can give to u.

no,i know how you feel.
i never like going out to eat.
i hate eating in public..its not that im fat or i over eat...it just feels annoying.
i just like my privacy.
and i also go out of my way to avoid large groups of people.
it just makes me feel kinda..i dont know,nervous..?

no you are similar to me.

Ever heard of the unknown comic???.He'd come outside and on stage with a paperback over his head. Maybe you should try that....You ARE a nut case. This world does not revolve around you.

P.S: Maybe they can't help but stare....really THAT ugly, hum? Is your bad attitude seeping through your pores instead of sweat?

I wouldn't say you are a nutcase, but it does sound like your anxiety has started to impact your everyday life. It might be a good idea to get some treatment and support. Lots of people I know live with anxiety and do very well once they learn the coping strategies that work for them. You are not alone.

I wouldn't say its normal, and yes others do feel that way.
- I would suggest stop hating it. Hating it won't fix anything. It'll only give you a bad day.
- Stop worrying about what other people are looking at. People are going to look at you, to some extent. Staring is abnormal and rude you should tell them if they're staring. I don't think that's the problem though.
- To define if staring 2-3 seconds is normal 10+ seconds is staring.
- looking at you once, twice or three times is normal, 10+ times is not.
- Recognize that you can't control what other people are doing. Don't try to fix it, or you give other people(People you don't even know) control over your own life.
- You like the way you dress, the way you look? Worry about the things you can change or fix. If you're okey with yourself then other people don't matter.

Hey sweetheart! Well If people do that maybe they like you, OR because you are fine *** hell & maybe you have a NICE ***!

As ur frds say u look good that might be one reason they like to look. Ppl r usually observers so that might be one reason- like ur dress, ur figure. Or they may not be looking at u only the things ur checking out in the store.
Dont hate it, it good choice of cloths that like to observe or the things u chose. Dont think that its bad when they look, you dont have any health problem or any thing bad.

I don't like people too colse to my bubble, mostly it's around PMS though, It's normal, But I honestly thing that you are not confident, that you are insecure and that you don't like yourself, also that effection is strange to you, lighten up I had to, I still have days like this but I am a much nicer person and found that more opportunities are open to me now then ever.... You're only hurting yourself. When someon stares at me I make an ignorant joke about it sometimes or if they are staring at my shoes I look down at them then look at the person looking at me till they realize they are the ones with the problem. If they are looking at my hair I mess it up and look at them like what's your problem! You have as much right to go and do what you want as any other person therefore don't let these feelings stop you from doing anything! Take a different approach on the matter at hand... Live life don't let others stand in your way!
