When I’m out in public I get stared at a lot. It tends to make me feel very uncomfortable and like I’m in the spotlight which I hate. Yesterday, it was really bad. I was wearing black jacket on and black leggings on as I was planning to go for a hike. Hair up in a bun. I quickly went to the mall before to pick up some hair oil and to get my nail colour removed at the nail salon.
When I was in the nail salon, the woman next to me was staring right at me, I didn’t have fake nails on, I just had a light colour on my natural nail that needed to be removed so nothing standing out. I looked back at her and smiled, she smiled back but it still made me feel awkward inside. When I went to pick up hair oil, I noticed random strangers looking right at my eyes. While waiting to pay, a stranger was standing outside the shop staring right at me and even kept looking into my eyes when I accidentally made eye contact with him. I don’t know how to handle this, it’s like strangers are staring into my soul. I’m not significant, I don’t wear anything or look unusual. I model as a hobby but that’s it. How do I handle this?
