I do not like to be stared at.

Yes, I know that is my problem and I should not expect the rest of the world to conform to my issue. There, happy? Everytime you complain nowadays people want to tell you “maybe the issue is you and you should not expect the rest of society to adjust to your issues”. There I said it for you…can we continue?

However, there are some adults that will just look and look and look at you when you enter a room and it’s nonsense. There’s nothing new under the sun. I want to ask them, “Have you never seen a human being before?”

I am a dude. I imagine this is 1 million times worse for women.

Staring in public, waiting your turn in line, maintaining a normal talking volume in public. I think I learned all that in kindergarten or before. Some adults need to Billy Madison themselves and go back to kindergarten.

    I’ve accidentally been accused of staring before. I tend to space out and not even focus my eyes, but it can look like I’m staring. That said, yeah, it’s not great. I’m a white guy who’s frequently in rural parts of Japan and can get stared at sometimes. Moreso if my tattoos are visible, but that’s due to their negative stigma still here (I only have a few on my arms).
