Is it socially unacceptable to stare at other people you don’t know?

[Anonymous]

I was raised with the idea that it is socially unacceptable to stare at people you don’t know.
i myself have been stared at and found it very uncomfortable but I read online somewhere that the reason why I think it is socially unacceptable is because I was raised this way

what do you think? Is it socially unacceptable to stare at people you don’t know?

Yes it is unacceptable

No it’s fine to do so

Staring is a sign of wanting something. If it's not attention then it's a provocation. It's very antisocial in most cultures.

If one wants to get stabbed then sure stare but otherwise no lol.

You can look, but don't stare.
