Why do other woman stare at eachother?

[Anonymous]

I'm probably being really paranoid, but lately everytime im out in public there's always at least some other woman who just stares at me and will not break the eye contact , for example I was waiting in line for a coffee and there was another woman already waiting for her food and she's just standing there staring with blank look. It makes me feel insecure and unsure if there something wrong with me. Why do other women do this

i've zoned out before and realized i was staring at someone so could be that for one of them

the others were probably just looking at your appearance. ik that happens to me sometimes bc of my style, being tall, and tattoos

It’s totally normal to feel uncomfortable, but women might stare for different reasons. Sometimes it’s just curiosity, or they could be comparing themselves to you without realizing it. It could also be that they’re zoning out or just unaware. Honestly, it’s more about them than it is about you, so try not to take it personally

Women often check out each other to see if one is prettier or uglier.

Since this is such a reoccurring thing they’re probably looking because they saw you looking back.

I wasn't even looking over at her and I just happened to look over at the people waiting for their things and saw her already staring at me

“Lately every time I go out in public”, so what is your excuse for each of these instances? Always them?

[Asker]

What... In talking about this one occurence

[Opinion Owner]

Yes I saw you mention a woman as an example but if you were only talking about her then you wouldn’t have mentioned that this is a reoccurring thing with women every single time you go out. So at the end of the day, maybe you are part of the problem and it’s not just a one-off with a single woman.

I'm saying it happens often yes. I'm in my own bubble I don't pay attention to people

[Asker]

Except when I am looking around and people look at me in judging way

Maybe you are not self aware in the way that you think because you have no idea if they think you’re the one staring and what your face is looking like to them. What if you have RBF? Totally could.

[Asker]

But I'm not even looking at them, I'm in my own world I hardly ever pay attention enough to other people unless I'm standing in line or in a room waiting. I look around and see some woman staring at me for no reason

[Opinion Owner]

That’s what you think but maybe you just aren’t very self aware and I don’t say that as an insult just a fact.

[Opinion Owner]

This literally just cannot happen every single time you go out and it’s never on your behalf. If you put the encounter with that one woman aside, you have no excuse for all the other women and that’s why you keep refusing to answer this question and pivoting instead.

I’m not supposed to say anything, but we’ve been instructed to observe you. I’m actually watching you right now. 👀

Same, especially when I'm dressed nice for a date or work.

Maybe they consider them as a competition?
