I’ll keep it short and simple. 20 year old guy, good looking but not a model. I sometimes catch people shamelessly staring at me (both males and females). Like I’ll be in a bus and there will be a guy or a girl just shamelessly staring the whole ride. It gets annoying and starts stressing me out. I try to challenge them by looking right back at them and holding eye contact but they just don’t look away. I’m always the one that just looks away after 2-3 seconds cuz otherwise it will just turn into a staring contest…
How do you guys deal with people that stare at you?

I wear sunglasses so they can’t see my eyes. Could start picking your nose and eating what you find while staring back.
Wear mask
I’m a natural, I’ve gotten threatened before after I started to stared back at em lol “STOP STARING AT ME!!!”
“HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW TOUGH GUY”
You gotta find the right facial expression, staring back is not enough. Raising one eyebrow is the simplest way to express skeptical disapproval… raising two eyebrows is a little more intense but some people might misinterpret and think you’re being questioning… frowning… etc.
Make the most of it, because it won’t last forever.
File this under “good problem to have” because the opposite is that nobody “sees” you.
I mean you could just pretend to be an actor in a movie and these people staring are the audience.
