Do you dislike being looked at?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, I do dislike people looking at me...it weirds me out because I never know why they're looking at me. I'm not that interesting.

I hate people watching me in general. Like, when I walked down the halls at my school I would go from walking in a straight line to spaghetti legs instantly.

I HATE being looked at!! ! Whenever I go out somewhere people look at me in such a rude way with such a nasty look like they know what's wrong with me and they're judging me! It makes me fell super self-conscious!! ! The other day I was at 7 eleven with my mom getting cookies and a free slurpee (it was free slurpee day) and these NT teenage girls and their stupid friends were staring at me like, "ewww ur weird!" And last week when I was done at the psychiatrist from getting my AS diagnosis, I walkied into the waiting room to leave and some lady gave me a dirty look! Sometimes I hate certin people!!

When somebody keeps looking at me I tell them to stop.

No, I don't like being looked at by most people (except for immediate family, then it's fine).

I hate being looked at. I hate having my picture taken. I hate being the center of attention.

Actually, I hate ME being the center of attention. I teach an art class and I have no problem with presenting and teaching, but that is because I am not personally the object of the attention, I am just the thing presenting that which everyone is interested in.

(well, I don't teach an art class, but I do teach some other kind of class)

I am well known amongst my family and friends for saying "stop looking at me!" (my husband seems like looking at me just because he thinks I'm nice to look at, my mum too - I can't stand it!! !), and also "I can't do this while you're watching" or "don't watch while I do this".

Yes. I don't mind being 'looked at' as such but I hate being watched.

I HATE people looking at me. The only times when I happily accept people looking at me is when they look at me for a reason, for example, people I know making eye contact with me because of a conversation. Or a cashier or bus-driver looking at me when I approach. Or men looking at me in that flirty way. Or if I am intentionally humilliating myself in public. Stop me if I've missed anything else. But when people look at me for no reason, for example, when I'm being boring and then a stranger stares at me for ages. When I said ''boring'', I meant when I'm just standing there, doing nothing to stand out from anybody else, and wearing clothes what make me blend in, sometimes I feel like asking, ''um, do you want something?'' (Unless it's a cute man flirting with me, then I feel like saying, ''carry on!'')

What I dislike is when people look at the ground and smirk. When they do that, I wonder what their problem is. I can easily tune out being stared at. I often ignore it.

Yes! I've seen that, and it drives me bonkers.

Well then I must drive a lot of people bonkers, because I do that excessively. Sometimes I just smirk for no apparent reason, and I can't control it so I try to look away.

Well of girls watch me because they like me obviously not.

I really don't like to be looked at, especially by people I don't know. When I'm anxious I can get really pissed off if someone looks at me (or if someone just is too close to me). It's sometimes quite difficult to hold my feelings back but I never get mad at strangers (I may swear really quietly if the stranger is far enough from me). I'm a bit ashamed of my feelings, I know I shouldn't feel this way and that the other people have a right to be in the same space with me and even see me but it's hard to change the way I feel.

If someone doesn't want to be seen by me I understand her/him pretty well.

Yes, it usually makes me uncomfortable. That's equally true on days I think I look good and days I don't.

I don't like strangers staring at me because they don't need to. A friendly smile from a stranger is always nice, but an evil glare from a stranger is unsettling and can mean all sorts of things what probably aren't good. Today I got a glare on the bus from some b***h I have never ever seen before, all because I was at the front but was still sitting there not intending to get off (it wasthe last bus stop on the route). I was staying on because I know the driver and we were going to have a chat while he had his break. Obviously this b***h had a problem with me wanting to get off last, but the way I see it, it's none of her business, and giving me an evil glare won't give her the answer. I was always told it was socially unacceptable to want to know a stranger's business, even if what they're doing makes me curious.

God, I hate some people, especially women.

Absolutely, I find it very incommodious and vexatious simultaneously when anyone gazes towards me for very little reason, even if it's someone very physically attractive. The only exceptions of this where I consider direct gazing acceptable is when I'm attending a formal face to face interview where eye contact is necessitous for the interviewer, and in other situated environments where it's plausible to do so (e.g. counseling room).
