I take public transportation and sometimes people would stare at me while I'm sitting quietly minding my own business. I would occasionally look at them and they would look away. But as soon as I look away, they're looking at me again. There is nothing physically wrong with me and I dress appropriately. Is it normal for people to stare at me for no apparent reason?
Yes it is normal. Sometimes if people are doing nothing they will just be looking around. I kind of do this too. Not that I am ever looking at one person I am just kind of looking around. Maybe they are looking and think you are good looking or wants to talk to you but hasn't got the courage. It is kind of awkward being in such a situation.
Urg, reading some of the replys you have received, I have to appologize.
Odds are, and you didn't state this, your an attractive female who dresses better than average. You are being stared at because people who ride on the public transportation are either poor, uncooth, or flat out made some bad decisions in their lives, hense the public transporation issue instead of driving to work.
They stare at you for one of the following:
1. Your a young person with your whole life in front of you, you dress nice and take a great care in yourself. You make them think about their life and how things could have been better.
2. People on public transportation are usually bored. They want to get from point A to point B but to do so they have to go through points C,D,E,F,and G to do so. Its not a straight route from A to B as the P.T. has to accomidate everyone and not just them. Odds are they are sick of seeing the same crap over and over outside and you are a sight for sore eyes.
3. They may just think you are hot and enjoy looking at you.
aye theres plenty of freaks on public transport
theres some one we call the tesco rapist who always gets on the bus at tesco he stared but when you look at him he goes " murarahaba " and puts his head down but when stares agains and always washs his face on the bus with a rag he scares me
As a fellow public transporter I can tell you that I sometimes look at people just because. Wonder how their lives are going, or just keep myself and my thoughts occupied until I am done with the trip.
i take public transportation and i feel at most good looking cause they stare at me the way you say they stare at you and turn away when you look right back at them, i percieve my experience with thinkin' "damn i'm catching looks because i'm a cute dude".. their were fine ass girls that said one day after i stepped off a bus one time he's cute i'd give him my number!(made my day) If it helps, always think highly of yourself and demonstrate it with high value, don't be so self conscience cause then you will drive youself crazy thinking too much about it!!
do you know what i would do?i would stare at them right back and not look away one bit.Or i would sit there with my eyes shut.
Mayb they are stunned by you in some way or are jealous of your apperance, especially if they look away when you stare back at them.
It's funny watching how people get uncomfortable when you stare back at them
why does it matter?
staring at people is normal.
unless the people staring at you are stalking you...then you need to call the police.
Are you a boy or a girl? If you're a sexy girl, men will look and dream. Women might think "Wish I could look like her" or "Dirty tart, I wouldn't be seen dead like that." But they've got to look somewhere, after all. Relax and read a book.
i like stareing at people, it freaks them out... alot... but maybe that just me hahaha
1. they think your sexy
2. they think your ugly
3. they want to suck your dick
4. they want your chocolate bar
I absolutely hate it when they do that. Makes me all self concious and whatever.
They're probably checkin' you out, or have nothing on heir bored little brains to do, so they stare cause they know they won't meet you again. Puck them.
I'll steal/paraphrase Dot123's favorite expression for this one:
"They're after your lucky charms."
Or, maybe they're just bored to tears and trying to find ANYTHING to take their minds off the tedium. I also ride public transit, and it can be difficult to find a good focal point for my eyes that doesn't involve looking into the general direction of another human being. But unless you have an arm growing out of your head or have heterochromia, I doubt you're being examined for your potential as a future participant in the freak show circuit. So just relax, and bring a book with you next time.
public transportation is like entering a freakshow, the ugliest people you could imagine go on those things
What sort of a fool are you anyone takes public transport it has nothing to do with looks you idiot
really? how come whenever i get off a city bus i feel like throwing up, but when go into a las vegas club, somehow i have the exact opposite feeling
flikr, now you've gone too far with that remark.
I take public transportation very frequently and merely fall in the "moderate to severely" ugly category.
