Well, I guess I have social anxiety :/... I take public transports since I'm 14, but the people looking at me thing has been bothering me 10x more than it used to. Before I would just think of it as a normal thing, and ignore it. Now I think something is wrong with me, like I'm retarded and weird to everyone else, but look 'normal' to me at the mirror... It's not only on public transports btw, but it's where it gets most intense.
I don't know if eihter there's something off about me, there could be multiple things, but I think I look fine in the reflexes and such... Maybe its my expressions when I'm not looking at myself? Maybe people can sense my desperation to get out of that place, or my disconfort..
One of my theories is that, the people who look too much are feeling exactly what I'm feeling. So they look at people to see if people look at them, and to see their reaction, because that's basicly what I do. Maybe to them I'm one of those ****ers who stares, because I do look around, to see if people are looking at me. And maybe they are doing the same.
The top reason why I look at strangers in the face, is to see if they'r looking at me, and their reactions- Other than that, I look at hot girls, characters, and crazy people...
Sometimes I just say ''***** it, it's all in your head'', but other times I really do feel it's not, because some people's expression goes like ''wtf'' or look like they are trying not to laugh. BTW I mostly get this when I'm on my own, when I'm with friends I don't even care. And none of my friends ever told me anything about me being weird or anything...
But yeah, if you think about it, this is all in your head, because you care. And sometimes I let it tottally ruin my day, which is stupid because I don't even know those people... What a bunch of complicated, picky *******s we are.
