I like staring at the people I love. It annoys them pretty bad, though. I also stare at people in church if they're wearing something interesting.

1) Because they are rude morons.
2) Yes, because I am weird to them.
3) Does it bother you? Yes, it annoys the piss out of me and I usually make a comment to people who do stare at me.

People are always staring at me. They even glare at me too. And they turn their heads right at me to give a stare. I don't like it.

I can always sense when people are looking at me. I can just tell. And it's not in my head, because the other day I did an experiment. Read carefully:-
I had put my sunglasses on when walking through the busy street to get to the bus station, and each person who passed me I can garantee you that they stared at me - even with my sunglasses on. (It was a sunny day, too). I looked at their eyes without turning my head, so my eyes were just looking at them, and nobody can see my eyes behind my sunglasses. So to other people it looked like I was just staring ahead. But I saw them staring at me when I looked at them with my eyes, so there is something wrong with the way I walk. I mean, why would they stare at me when I looked like I was looking straight ahead? It's not even that I walk funny, because I know I don't. And I don't make odd faces or odd noises, and I don't swing my arms or anything like that. I walk just like everybody else. And I still get looks.

And it ain't what I wear, because people don't seem to stare at me when I'm sitting down. So I must do more experiments to find out why I get occusing stares all the time. . .

People stare at me. Mostly younger kids. When that happens I freak them out by staring right back at them. It's annoying. Didn't their parents tell them it's not polite to stare?

I once asked an NT friend why people stare. He first assured me that most of the time, the stares mean absolutely nothing. And that sometimes people are just waiting for an acknowledgment of their existence; a greeting, a nod, or a smile. Still, it is annoying when they stare.

Wait, that might be it--everybody else DOES swing their arms when they walk. It counterbalances the weight shifting from foot to foot and preserves the forward momentum. If you are walking with your hands glued to your sides, that's probably part of why they are staring.
