I'm a very observant person so sometimes I'll glance at something and absorb the details. Sometimes I'll just be lost of thought looking at something. There's also times where I'm extremely curious about something and just was to observe it. I don't mean to be rude or make people feel insecure at all.. I just can't help it sometimes. For example, a couple of days ago I was helping a lady who had a missing hand and a bit of her face was.. I guess you could say scarred? So I'm assuming she was in some sort of vehicle accident or something. She was an extremely sweet lady and was pleasant to talk to. But I couldn't help but observe how she motorized without her left hand. I didn't mean to stare her down and I was careful not to, but I did glance every so often out of curiosity. Again, super sweet lady and I was completely fine with her not having one of her hands. Actually, I respected her a lot for not hiding it or anything and just accepting herself and ya know, going out and having ice cream with friends. But yeah I don't typically stare at people too much. I'm considerate and know that I can be somewhat menacing if I stare too much 😅 So I'm careful not to. Interesting question!

bahah. at my height, I've gotten so used to it that I get creeped right the fuck out if there ISN'T at least *someone* staring at me. (exceptions made for gatherings of people who all know me -- fine, they're used to it. Anywhere else, if I'm being completely ignored by everyone -- which, honestly, **might** happen a few times a decade, at the very most -- I immediately launch into a fit of frantic introspection about why/how I must be suddenly going wrong in life ahha)
I mean, I was already six foot in junior high, so... I was smart enough to know that I could
1, shut it and deal;
2, take offense at people's stares -- thus GUARANTEEING that I would spend every public moment of the rest of my life being "offended";
or
3, embrace it with open arms, and live #DatAttentionWhoreLyf
I chose no. 3, of course.
besides -- people like to stare at beautiful things! how could I blame them? #muah #fuckyeah ♥️✌️
It's very rude to stare. It can be quite intimidating for some people. When people stare they come across as confrontational and aggressive
I think some people intentionally stare just to intimidate people. That's not always the case though, coz there's been times when I've been in deep thought and I wasn't aware I was actually staring at someone. I was actually looking
" through" them - not at them. They probably thought I was being rude though. If ever I realise I'm staring I'll smile, then look away so they don't think I'm being rude lol
That's a cute dinosaur, distracts me from the question. Well people who continue to stare at you even after you've noticed them are just weird and rude
I know that I sometimes stare off because my thoughts trail off somewhere's else, but then I catch myself and I'm actually staring at someone. This is not to say that I'm staring at that person because of that person, or the reason why my thoughts trail off was because of said person, it's just you happen to be in the line of sight at the time.
Another reason I stair is that I try and figure out WTF is going on about someone. Maybe it's disbelief because you actually went out of the house like this. Or maybe it's curiosity at what you are doing or expressing at the time.
There is a saying I've heard that fits very well:
"Some people are put on this Earth, just for others to stare at."
I think people need to realize that staring can make one uncomfortable but it happens with people they just don't care or stop to think about ones feelings. Some people with mental health issues will stare for no apparent reasons too.

I don't know I have put some thought into this before - Often I do be thinking about something important like "What is for dinner?" and I may be looking in the same direction for a while. A person in my eyeline may think I am staring at them

or they could just be staring into nothingness. i know i do that a lot. and when i come back from where i am at i get odd looks because i was looking at someone for so long lolI ask that same question every day. Worst is when they stare and then look away real fast. Or you know they noticed you for from far away just to pretend to ignore you.
Guys just stare sometimes as a stupid way to express being interested.
I think they stare even though they know it's rude because they just can't help yourselves and they have to be rude I think that's the way that they just are rude and crude
Reasons I'm staring: I think the person is gorgeous and I'm too shy to say that or I completely zoned out and just happened to be staring in their direction.
They could be checking you out or be attracted to you or even find you repulsive. There are small instances when they are deep in thought and aren't aware that they are looking at you.
Can't help it sometimes half the time people think I'm staring at them but I'm not I'm kinda thinking and looking into nothing planning till the make a movement that snaps me out of it like why u in my space dude
Some people just don't care! Kind of like dropping the F Bomb loudly in public, not socially acceptable!
Sometimes I think people do it without even realizing it. I know I have.
I get so annoyed when this happens I have no idea its so rude
Because they themselves are rude, I guess. I always try not to.
Usely cuz they any help it cuz it looks good or bad
Lol, people just forget sometimes.
It's because they are rude and they don't care.

it's America you can look in any direction you want to.
Sometimes you don't even know you're doing it
