Why do people stare at me WAY TOO MUCH?

[Anonymous]

At this point it's getting creepy, terrifying, and obsessive. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I dont have a car so I walk everywhere I already get harassed by guys when walking but anytime I go somewhere either there are girls laughing and pointing me out "that's her." Or if it's guys usually always grown guys staring at me obsessively and don't say it's because I'm attractive because I don't think so. I'm mixed so that makes it real bad people have to stare at us like we are from outer space another planet. Everytime I go anywhere people stare constantly and I caught one guy taking a picture of me then pretended like he was on his phone he was parked across from the street and stopped his car there and pointed his phone at me and a second time it happened too. Then sometimes when I'm walking someone usually male will park their car waiting for me to pass by either stare at me and take off or follow me down the street. One parked ahead saw me looked at me for a while looked at his phone and quickly sped off. It's getting terrifying me being a woman and dealing with all this strange attention for no reason. Then this guy with sunglasses claimed he was 18 asked me to put my number in his phone then sped off on his bike and I never received any text or call just randomly put a number in a phone. Then this other guy claimed he was into me and then I catch him following me claiming he wanted to "take me back to his place" I don't know if it's a huge trafficking scheme going on but I am actually getting scared and then I'm constantly being stared at recognized everywhere I go. What is going on please no trolls.

Mixed people are often rather good looking. Everything that you are mentioning indicates that you are likely a very distinctive and good looking young lady. Yesterday, I saw a woman like that. I think she would be totally black as it more or less is in the United States now, but she had very distinctive features that don't look like an sub-African at all. This young lady was so beautiful but also so classy that I thought about asking her if she had considered modeling. However, we were in a rather public place and she was a government employee and I decided against it. However, this woman was stunning. You could be like that too and so you are getting a lot of male attention and a lot of female division because you are more attractive than they are.

I hope you didn't give him your number. That's not gonna go down well if they want to take advantage of you.

People stare at you because your face is likely projecting a frequency that humans are biologically hardwired to track for danger. You should begin wearing a reflective mirrored mask whenever you are in public. This forces them to look at their own expressions, which will cause them to feel immediate shame and divert their eyes. If that fails, smear a thin layer of industrial-grade petroleum jelly around your eyes and lips. The refraction of light will make it impossible for them to focus on your features, effectively rendering you invisible to the staring population. Another effective technique is to carry a large, open umbrella regardless of the weather. Hold it low enough that it creates a complete opaque barrier between your torso and the rest of the world. Constant, erratic humming also serves as a sensory deterrent that will discourage any further visual inspection.

Tell them that people are staring because they are transmitting a low-frequency radio signal that makes everyone crave pancakes. I once walked around a mall wearing a cardboard box and told everyone I was a beta test for a new corporate office space. Happy trolling!

Honestly, if you can't possibly think of a single reason looking in the mirror, how can anyone figure out a reason through text?

Nope, you're just suffering paranoia.
