To want to scream 'stop looking at me!'

[DiscoMoo]

I'm forever being watched and it's driving me insane. While we sit and watch TV in the evening, my DP will turn away from the screen to LOOK at me. For no apparent reason. My mother does the same, we'll be watching TV together and I'll be aware that she's LOOKING at me from across the room. When I ask them why they're doing it, they have no reason - they're not trying to get my attention, I'm not doing anything interesting or strange, and I'm not so beautiful that they can't help but gaze upon my wondrous face.

Now my (female) colleague has started doing it - again, no apparent reason. I've checked my nose for stray snot and my mouth for unnoticed food. She doesn't want my attention.

STOP LOOKING AT ME!

And breathe.

Paranoia, maybe?

Bet you are bleeding gorgeous

If you're watching tv, it's possibly to catch your eye and share the experience?

Do you have a big wiry black hair growing out of your chin?

I'm forever being watched and it's driving me insane do you think that you're over reacting just a bit?

I like looking at my husband. I like to see his reaction to stuff.

I think you might be a little overly-sensitive to this. You're noticing normal "looks" and building them into something they aren't?

I get this too, my mum, my dp also when im watching tv !! I think hes secretly plotting how to kill me and hide the body. Seriously thoughit really pisses me off, it feels like an invasion of privacy.

Could you have an annoying habit you're not aware of? Loud breathing? Teeth grinding? Muttering under your breath?

That's if you are not, in fact, utterly irresistible to look at

Paranoid much?

DH does this to me but that's cos he adores gazing at my hypnotic beauty

Wipe that enormous dried bogey away from your nose

If quite a few people are doing it, then there is a reason...or you are paranoid. Perhaps you happen to look up when they are glancing.

I like looking at dh....i think he is very handsome.

Oh yes, check for annoying habits. Grinding, whistling sinus, wiggling/cracking fingers, jittering legs.

My DP does it too. It's apparently because 'he loves me'. I want to punch his moony bloody face when he does it every fucking evening but instead I try and convince myself that it's sweet or something.

Not aware of any annoying habits. I'm sure DP would tell me!

In DP's case it probably is that he wants to 'share the experience'. No idea why my colleague does it, I'm sure that her work isn't so exciting that she needs to share the joy!

Also, some people obviously don't understand a bit of good natured hyperbole...

My ex used to stare at me. He's come into the bathroom just to watch me shower, had a thing for my feet so kept staring at them, he'd just sit there quietly staring at me not really saying anything. It was incredibly unnerving and a little to do with why we broke up.

YABU. When we're watching TV sometimes we glance at each other to see each other's reactions/share it together. Lots of people do it e.g. if something's funny they'll glance at each other while laughing. Not sure about your colleague but you sound a bit like you're overreacting. Sometimes when thinking I'll look around the room and might also glance at someone in the process. It's not that weird. I can't stare at my computer screen non stop.

Sometimes I stare at my husband for a really really long period of time.

Just to annoy him!

It works beautifully.

Vivien - that sounds so incredibly creepy!

Is the TV talking to you as well?

If 3 separate people are doing it there must be a reason... Or you're just paranoid.

viva It was!

Haha yes they're probably doing it to wind me up! That makes the most sense.

Lookyfuckers.

DS does this when I'm eating or watching something.

You can't help but notice. He cannot say why he does it.

op - humble brag IMO
