People Staring

<< < (7/8) > >>

blondeguy:
I've only noticed a couple of people glancing at me.  No actual stares.

Actually, I've noticed people in general seem more intimidated with me, particularly at work.  The clerk at the gas station wouldn't even look me in the eye.

jusbnme:
Yeah, I've had the occasional stare.  I've gotten use to it now and really don't even notice it that much anymore.  But every now and them I will take notice especially if someone is really giving me the glare and I'll find myself wondering what might be going through their mind at the time.   ???

I love the Feel Felt Found approach Tyler!!  O0

Tyler:
I approached a guy last night in the parking lot of my gym to ask hima question about his car.  As I got closer to him, I noticed with every step he got more and more frightened about me approaching him, so I gave a smile and a nod and it seemed to relax his fears a bit until I could get close enough to ask him the question without yelling.  I was thinking, "wow, do I look that mean?"  Once I asked the question you could see a sigh of relief come over him   It was the first time I really experienced that to that degree.

PigPen:
Maybe he thought you were there to take his lunch money Tyler.
