For reference I do not like people staring at me
When I'm out in public I notice strangers will stare at me occasionally. It can happen at varying distances. I'll notice it in my peripheral and will usually wait a bit and if they keep looking, I'll look back.
One of two things happen; an awkward "hi, how are you" or they silently make eye contact with me and walk away.
Unfortunately it gives me anxiety and makes me feel some form of stage fright. It would ease my mind if you guys thought this was just normal? Is this how humans coexist and I'm just being sensitive?
