What should i do when people stare at me in public?

When I'm in public, I often see people looking at me more than they look at anyone else. I've been noticing this for a while now and it's starting to ruin my confidence. I am a very attractive and likable male so I can't figure out why people look at me differently. It's gotten to the point where when I see people staring at me in public, especially women, I have an urge to punch them in the face. My brother says that it's all in my head. What should I do?

    Do babies and small children stare at you? There was a study a few years back which found that young children are drawn to look intently at people who are judged to be more attractive by adults.

    Dumbed-down outline of the New Scientist article here: http://www.rebelcircus.com/blog/study-suggests-babies-often-stare-youre-beautiful/

    If babies shriek in terror or look away quickly when they catch a glimpse of you, then perhaps you need to reassess your attractiveness and people are rudely staring because you look freakishly weird.

    Assuming that's not the case, I think you just have to accept that people like to look at you. Much worse things happen to people every day, and learning to ignore their looks doesn't seem to me to be all that huge a burden for you to bear. I don't see why their looks should undermine your self-confidence, and that definitely doesn't merit a violent response by you.

      That's one of the best responses I've seen on here. Thanks.

    You should start punching people in the face even before they have a chance to start staring cause you know they're thinking about it.

    Some day you will be old and you will be invisible to most people. Enjoy what you have while you have it

    You really that insecure?
    People stare at me for 2 reasons.
    They're j and looking for pointers.
    Or
    They want to fuck me.
    It may not be accurate, but stares don't bother me.
    It's all in how you process things.

    You admit to being an attractive male so of course people are going to give you a second look. Even the guys out of envy. Smile. 😀
