elle 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Question: When you are out in public with your friends or family, I am sure that you get a few glances from people from the opposite gender or even the same gender. However, glances can turn into stare. How do you classify a stare and a glance? And ... what do you feel at that moment of time? If you are uncomfy about it, what do you do? Or what would you do if your gf/bf receive that kind of treatment from strangers or even friends?Let's share Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elle 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 Haih .... yeah it's very irritating, it's as if there's someone looking at your every actions and you feel not comfortable with it at allFor me, it's 3-5 seconds then it's considered a stare and their eyes follow wherever you go, that's plain annoying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TommyBoy 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 I give them my bitch smug. yes. the smug smile that tells them "so what? you got a problem? none of my business and I love the way I am thank you"Nothing changes a stare to embarassment faster than this.

funnyface86 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 it depends on wat kind of stares la...some stares are just creepy esp from those 'ah pak' and i faster go to the other direction..if those kind of stares like 'r u crazy??!!!!!!!" i will be self-conscious.. but either way also i hate getting stared at esp when i'm alone or when a large group of ppl looks at u at the same time...very...very....scary..

carol_sim 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 Hmm.. Stare and glance.. Glance is short lived.. few seconds and they will drop their glance. Stare is more sustained and their eyes follows u wherever u move.I normally ignore them la... But if it gets really long then I will look at him. He will normally look away unless I actually know him! *L* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm with someone, usually I'll sit across from him/her so I don't really scan around too much. If I'm alone, you'll find my view non-focused.

bkk 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 can you tell if the stares are "dirty", admire, love, like, hate etc ? Ppl might be admiring your dressing...le or trying to make eye contact so they can give you a friendly smile..le, so no harm intended by the other party.

@Li3N 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 How do you classify a stare and a glance?To me a glance is just a short one, which means they will just look at you and turn away. However, a stare would be more focus where they will look at you for sometime as if they are checking you out & sumtimes a stare can make u feel uncomfy. And ... what do you feel at that moment of time? Sumtimes I felt nottin coz I'm the one who usually stare at ppl 1st But sumtimes I do feel uncomfy as if I have sth on my face when ppl gimme a hard stare or glance! If you are uncomfy about it, what do you do? It depends on my mood. If it's a glance, I'll usually ignore even tho I'm umcomfy with that. But sumtimes if I'm not in a good mood when sum ppl stare at me, I'll just use the same way staring back at them till they feel embarrased! Or what would you do if your gf/bf receive that kind of treatment from strangers or even friends? It always happen to me when I am going out with my younger sis (She is suffering frm cereabal-palsy). Sum ppl will stare at her as if they have nvr seen such child before. I'll feel extremely annoyed & stare back at them just the way how they stare at my sis. By doing this, sum of them actually feel guitly. Sumtimes, I may be abit aggresive if they are really too much....I won't give face but (*&^%$# them ! I hate those ppl to use such a way to stare at my sis as if she came out frm the jungle or sth! darn!Sorry to be abit harsh !!! Can't help it when I think of those idiots ! Sumtimes those stares can be very insulting. Gotta protect my sis !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funnyface86 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2005 oohh...i guess some people stare is when they are curious. once i went out with my sister's friend who is in a wheelchair (he has been since young) and he really is tiny and has squeaky voice. so when we go out, people do stare. some people i realized stare and give the 'what the hell' look, while some people will have the curious look while the rest have the 'i pity that guy' look.. i guess it depends on wat kinda look they give...

chocoblast 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2005 Eyes are the windows to the soul... Sometimes, when in deep thoughts, ppl come into my view... then they think I am staring at them, when I am thinking. But if I am aware, of if you ever meet me, I have an ability to break eye contact... Dun believe, wait till you see me one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
