People Who Stare at Me

You’re a bit overly self-conscious yourself and unusual enough, so don’t worry. When a woman is showing a lot of skin, men’s eyes naturally wander. If you don’t like being looked at, dress less revealingly. The throat-clearing was probably just your imagination—or perhaps due to something else.

People often tell me I’m a bit of an oddball myself, so I like quirky people too! There are definitely people who stare at you, aren’t there? I’m an extremely positive person, so I just walk with my back straight, thinking, “I’m cute, right? I am, right?”—with a sort of smug little strut. It surprisingly puts me in a good mood, so I recommend it. P.S. Wait, when you said “odd people,” did you perhaps mean people who seem socially problematic or dangerous (wow, that’s rude)? If so, I’m not a fan of those people either… But I do like the kind of odd people who seem interesting and fun.

I don’t dislike “unusual” women so much as women like you, the person asking this question. There have been quite a few women like that around me. They were extremely self-conscious and had an excessive persecution complex. As you yourself mention in your question, people who keep looking because they’re curious about you being “a little unusual” tend to have that in common. Other than those kinds of people, no one is paying you any attention. Like attracts like. I’m often approached by women like you for advice about these things. I respond properly at the time because it’s easier than dealing with the hassle, but honestly, it’s incredibly exhausting, and I really wish you would stop. I can’t be this honest anywhere but an anonymous forum, but it’s genuinely a huge hassle and a completely unproductive waste of time. Please don’t come to me with such bothersome issues. That’s why no one other than those kinds of people pays you any attention.
