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 find myself staring sometimes, but it’s because:
So much this.
“I wasn’t staring at you, I was trying to remember the name of the band that plays this song and you wandered into my gaze”
I find it much easier to avoid people and stare at the ground, where there usually no people.
Ah yes, stare at the dead. They can’t complain.
Add to that: You have text on your shirt and I’m just tryna read it.
Those are valid points.
For me, I am trying to deconstruct an interesting article of clothing, or that someone is wearing.
