...normal looking, right?

Knowing that most people aren't c***s to you when you talk to them, that means they don't mind you, do they?

Or do ugly or weird looking people never get looked at at all, by anyone?

And if a guy is deemed as normal, he can get women, right?

Just a bunch of things I had in my mind after being in public for like more than half a day on an EXTREMELY sunny and crowdy day.

I think the only people who are accustomed to having lots of people stare at them are pretty young ladies.

I reckon I look quite normal but I do get looked at quite a lot. I'm really conscious of it but when I catch someone looking I usually look away and pretend I've not noticed.

People stare at me quite a lot, but I get self conscious about it. It may not all be positive.

If you don't get looked it, it means you're inconspicuous. If you do get looked at it means you look unusual in some way, and that can be either beautiful, ugly, or just odd looking. I'm glad people don't look at me.

NOT. TRUE. :twisted:

I get stared at ALL THE TIME for acting 'strange' or 'odd' or 'different' or 'crazy.' In fact, people stare at me MORE than they stare at "pretty young ladies," at least where I go. But maybe they don't want to openly stare at them--I mean, I doubt they would. They actually want to IMPRESS them--but why would they want to impress me? I'm the crazy ugly person with the Transformers and the hair streak who's touching his friends' shoes and hair! And the crazy part is, I'm not even trying to attract attention--I don't even KNOW I'm attracting attention--until I see the stares, or the laughs, or the people looking at me with their wide eyes, going--
"Wh-who ARE you?"
(it's almost theatrical. Unfortunately, I'm "worse" in overstimulating, crowded places)

I agree with ParaSait; if they don't look at you, you're inconspicuous. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's on an "attractiveness" scale. Sometimes people just don't look at you because you're not acting like an idiot. Or whatever they think I'm acting like. I'm just acting like...me. And most people don't LIKE to be stared at, and the Neurotypicals know that. If they wanted someone to like them, they'd be secret about staring, wouldn't they?
