When someone is staring at you, do you stare back?
I didn't used to, but now I do as a learned behavior from living in a not so good area. You learn to stare at other people to intimidate them. Kind of like how dogs stare at each other as a sign of aggression.

It's a defense mechanism as well, telling another person that you are not to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with if they try anything. Youre not afraid to stare back at them.

I'm from the U.S. too, so maybe it's a cultural thing.

I don’t like eye contact with strangers. But if I see someone staring at me, I usually stare back so that they’ll know I’m watching them.

Same. I don't enjoy it, but it's a defense mechanism. I'm not afraid or intimated by them.

I am constantly very starey, so I would probably say yes. I've been told I have a pretty creepy stare.

Sometimes then this plays in my head.



Sadly no fights happen.

Nope.

I use peripheral to keep watch though. Reflection of my cellphone, or passing windows, etc.

I usually just glance over and lock eye contact so they quit.

well a required part of catching someone looking at you, is looking back at them in order to catch them in the first place, i just stick to that. usuallly people aren't staring at me, they're just looking at their environment and the people in it, like the rest of us with moving heads and eyeballs

i don't find it intimidating though when people actually do stare, i'm very whatever about it. except for when it's done by people who are very obviously finding me attractive - i hate that for some reason

i survive rough areas, not by staring at the other humans, but by being aware of my surroundings and obviously being on some kind of mission, i.e. not an easy mark, not a gormless idiot, not a lost tourist - someone who has every right to belong there, someone walking with confidence and ease. i don't even bark to scare people off

that and ain't nobody gonna be intimidated by my generic average white man stare

though they might appreciate my beautiful eyes

What if they're just looking around and they happen to look at you while looking at their surrondings and you think they where giving you stick eye when actually they where just trying to find a restraunt or something becuase they could be new to the area and on a road trip or something.

That's really good way to get beaten up in quite many places of the world.

Naw, it only happens if i see them giving me the STANK eye.
Yeah, boo ♥♥♥♥♥ time to fight if gots somethin to say.

If they looking around or above it’s nothing. They could looking in my direction but not actually at me, that’s fine.

But them stank eye stares is another thing.
Oh the glory of having two dads and a thot sister, I’m ruthless!
Oh it's stank eye not stink eye, I'm not american so I didn't know that was what it was called, I only know the term through american netflix shows XD.
