People who stare at you

Snoop Dogg with the silver medals...

🧐 Hell yeah!

To doesn't look like intelligence to me. It looks like the exact opposite. 🤷
It's just mindless staring. Like some kind of deer in headlights.

Common courtesy dictates you look someone in the eye when you talk. Just staring blankly at someone for no reason is pathological.

I couldn't care less what’s going on inside that person's head or if they're even capable of thought. If they have something to say, they should just say it. I don't have the energy to analyze what a specific look might mean. I simply don't care.
If they're just staring without saying anything, it's creepy. I'm not wasting any more time on it.

People with harsh features or an naturally intimidating stare tend to hold eye contact just a second too long, specifically to make others feel uneasy.🤣

Huh. Interesting. 🤔

Can it cause fear? Not just from the look itself, but when you have no clue why someone is staring at you.
What does a "terrifying look" actually mean? Is it how he looks, or just the way he stares?

It's a weird situation.

One look can trigger just about anything.
If some guy with a way higher drive was in my shoes instead and ended up being an aggressor... nobody would even know the first half of this story. He’d just be labeled the bad guy.

Wait, didn't you mean a cheater, not an assailant? What does libido have to do with rapists?? A guy who assaults someone isn't doing it because he's "frustrated" or getting rejected too often. It's not about how much he wants to screw someone.

I get why people ask: why wouldn't he just go along with it if she was clearly flirting and wanted something? He should have just said yes. 🤷

I make it a point to strictly avoid staring at people. If I’m caught gazing at anything, it’s exclusively at the trunk of a tree. If someone were to stare at me, I would simply give them a sharp, furious look and exit their line of sight immediately. I have no patience for being gawked at, though frankly, I couldn't care less about whatever motivates the person doing the staring. In any case, it’s just plain rude.

I remember once accidentally staring at a former colleague while riding the subway. It had been quite some time since our paths crossed, and I found myself momentarily stunned by how much he had aged—though, oddly enough, he had actually become quite handsome in his later years. Of course, he felt my eyes on him instantly; that kind of tension is impossible to hide. When our eyes finally met, I just laughed it off and explained later that I was staring because he had somehow managed to age incredibly well, which is a rare phenomenon indeed.

There’s one part of this whole thing that most people are totally missing.
That split second of silence, the tension in the air, and just how much power she had in her eyes—it was almost commanding. Honestly, my questions from the survey felt pretty pointless after that look... I don't know, maybe I just couldn't hold my own against it and ran out of things to say... but man, what a heavy psychological moment.

It’s hard to look the other way when something like this happens—you can't exactly remain indifferent—but falling for such blatant manipulation and psychological bullying would be nothing short of foolish.

Isn't every single second spent pulling strings through manipulation and bullying—which honestly looks pretty bad on them—just one big, intense psychological moment?

That was one time. You guys are constantly staring at coworkers and everyone else. Only difference is you get mad when the other person just looks back instead of making a move...😁

Keep going, I'm hooked. 🙂

Honestly, I find myself wondering more about what's going on inside the heads of those who think everyone is staring at them. Take a situation where someone is just sitting at a Starbucks, lost in thought, looking off in some direction—and then there's this other person who interprets that gaze as an intentional stare. Most likely, the first person hasn't even registered the second person's existence yet; they're simply sitting there, eyes fixed on a point in space, completely oblivious to the perceived confrontation.

You’ve really oversimplified the whole issue here.

Perhaps it's because they happen to be looking directly at them. Or maybe they're staring right 'through' them with an intensity that feels unsettling. 🤷

If you go out for coffee, just accept that people will look at you. Best spots have those little booths or partitioned areas where you can actually hide from the crowd. The worst ones are those wide-open layouts where everyone sees everything—who you're with, what you're wearing, what you're drinking, where you're looking... all that crap.

Honestly, whenever I find myself staring into someone's eyes for a bit longer than usual, I tell myself I’m just working on my "eye contact" skills. I figure it’s actually decent practice for building up some self-confidence, plus you start to notice how much—or how little—someone is actually present in the moment. Most of the time, when I look at people, I catch this sense of total mental absence; you can just see it in that glazed-over, thousand-yard stare where they've completely checked out of the conversation.

With women, I’ve noticed that holding eye contact for a while can really tip you off to whether they're interested or not. If a woman isn't feeling it or just isn't interested, she’s definitely not going to be holding your gaze for long.

She won't look at you too long, wouldn't want you falling for her.😁
