Why are You Looking at Me?
by Ever wondered if you catch a person’s eye in a public place, if it was because they were staring at you already? Here are six tips that will relieve as well as make things easier for you.
Whenever i am in public i sometimes notice what seems to be various people looking at me. I never knew for sure, so i would constantly be on guard wondering things like…what are they thinking, am i wearing the Right thing, countless needless things that i definitely did not have to waste time thinking about in my day whan i have so much on my mind on a regular basis anyway. So i started to get angry and finally came up with a list of ways to deal with this potentially harmful,seemingly harmless situation you may encounter when you go out to malls, restaurants, etc.
Step 1 Nod at them. Acknowledge them. I thought it was customary to acknowledge another person when two person’s eyes meet. Show some manners and nod at the person that is looking at you. They just might find you interesting, that’s why they are looking at you.
Step 2 Smile at them. It’s amazing what a smile can do to brighten a person’s day, as well as break the ice or friction when first meeting them.
Step 3 Ignore them. Just look away. Don’t attempt to make any eye contact, even to see if they are still looking at you. Most people will get turned off by the lack of interest. And you can go on your merry way.
Step 4 Walk up and ask them. If this quick gaze turns into a stare, you might want to look into that, while you are in a public place. They might think that they know you, and asking them can put you at ease, without having to worry about that person in a non-public environment.
Step 5 Exit stage right. If you are in a mall setting there are various options for a quick getaway. You can always just turn into a store, any random store. This will take you out of sight of the person looking at you,and there is always going to be a store clerk in a mall shop.

I like 2 the best. Smiling at someone always brightens their day. When I am in a mall or a grocery store and lots of people smile at me I think either i’m looking really good, or that i must look friendly. Either way, it makes me happier, and feel great!
