"Are you being watched?"

when you go out in public.

Do you feel like people are looking at you?

Why?

Are they? Or are you a little too self concious.

No, if you're male, you wear a t-shirt that says 'Don't worry, I'm not scary'.

Hm. That might not work...

I have a simple rule. If they're female you look and smile, if they're male you dont look and you try your hardest to look like they wouldn't want to cause you any trouble.

It's that old classic isn't it ... when you're walking down a footpath alone, and someone is approaching from the opposite direction ... do you look them in the eyes to acknowledge them? maybe give a little nod as if to say 'hello'? or do you avoid all eye contact in case they're a psycho ... and risk looking ignorant and weird yourself?

I look too far into things :P

Keep going out without my glasses on too, which means I can't see if people are looking in my direction or not (yes my eyes are bad at the mo), so it makes it ten times worse ...

I usually think the opposite, that no-one is watching me.

Because I'm a ninja*

Awwww Congy...

Of course! When I'm out in public I can't help but think that all the attarctive young ladies are eyeing up my fine figure of manliness...

Then I see a mirror. :-(

Just got back from Somerset, it was horrible. They love to stare. I saw about five black people. Twenty thousand white people. That was all. :|

Couldn't care less if people are looking or not to be honest, i suppose its human nature to look at other people if your attracted to them by something, way they dress or how they're acting.

I guess im just a care-free person most of the time though that doesn't care what other people think.

Oh you live in Surrey .. Epsom by any chance? Only the Nam-Yang club I used to attend headquarters was in Alexandra Park ...

Not that it makes much diff to you :) Just being nosey ...

I do quite often feel like it... then again, it's not often in small-town Surrey you get some long-haired chap wearing a biker jacket walking around very fast listening to stuff like Iron Maiden at very high volume!

I guess it's a matter of consciousness, whether you notice or you're concentrating on anything else. I guess it happens most in huge crowds, when there's not much visible other than other people.
