AIBU?

AIBU to wish people would stop staring!

I have recently noticed people having a good old stare at me. Not a discrete glance but a full on stare as I walk past, actually turning their heads to watch me once I have already passed them. I tend to catch them staring out of the corner of my eye, then if I turn round a few steps on they are still staring. What are they looking at? I am fully clothed, no distinguishing features. AIBU to want them to stop?

I am almost tempted to shout "what are you looking at have I got a tampon on my head" which I once heard a teenager say to her friend I'm obviously not gong to say that

No piercings, one hidden tattoo. Usually wearing boots, skinnies, blouse and parka still in May this weather is rubbish sometimes towing two small children.

Do you live in a small place- has someone been gossiping about you?

Do you wear unusual clothes? Piercings?

It's not loads of people, it's not a stealth boast I'm just wondering wtf they are staring at!

No. It is that level of staring though. It makes me check in the nearest mirror that I don't have yesterday's knickers stuck to my leg or my makeup melted all over my face.

Is this a stealth boast and you are the double of Angelina Joile or something?

Seriously though, are you sure you aren't imagining it? Maybe they have given you a glance, which you have clocked, so then make eye contact with them, so they think you are staring at them?

You could always try staring deeply right back at them; that tends to make people look away quickly!

Loads of people have suddenly started staring at you for no reason whatsoever?

Do you look like someone famous maybe? Or are you just being a bit paranoid?

Is your skirt tucked into your knickers?
