I hate staring strangers!

So I just walked into the dermatologist office. Long story there! They have a couch and some large cushy chairs. There was this middle aged man sitting on the couch just blatantly staring at me. I checked in and tried to sit down gracefully in the chair, which happened to be directly across from the staring man. Naturally, since I have zero balance, I kinda tripped and fell into the chair. The man grinned and was still staring, so I stared back and said “ Is there a PROBLEM?” He said “ not at all- I was just watching you get into that chair!”
I said “ I’m tired!” And ignored him and got on my phone. He still kept staring at me. Weirdo!

I seem to have the opposite problem. People often think I'm staring when I'm actually gazing into nothing. Examples: a guy confronted me outside a Wawa once. He actually wanted to fight and said it's because I was staring at him. Another time I was in Target staring at a big red dot on the wall (part of the Target logo), and a guy offered to beat me up if I didn't stop staring at his daughter. Ironically, when I looked around to see who he was talking about, there was no one there.

@originnone I know what you mean. I feel like people think I’m staring at them too, especially when I walk past them- I never know whether to look down as I pass them or look in their faces and smile. Is “ Wawa” Walmart? lol

@Mardrae No, Wawa is a chain of convenience stores in the New Jersey/PA area. Like a 7-11 or piggly wiggly in other regions. Wawa is actually a bird, which is part of their sign.
