i feel like they do all the time. the more medicine im on the less i fixate on it but i still feel like people are looking at me and whenever i see someone laughing i just know theyre laughing at me

Yes but @Bokeh is right. I used to be deathly afraid of walking on the sidewalk with cars passing by. Believing they were laughing at me. Now my attitude is if you don’t like me then screw you. But people can suck azz.

I don’t care to be honest.

It feels annoying at the moment it happens when someone mocks you or laughs at you but I don’t bother with it much.

It has not happened a lot with me. My sister and brother used to mock me a lot when we were kids, I used to get upset about it at the time. I was 5 or 6. The youngest one in the family.

I don’t make fun of people, I do say my opinion though. Not directly usually but during a discussion, I like to have an open conversation.

Long story short, don’t bother with it and ignore them!

You can tell a lot about a person by seeing what they laugh at. This is a famous quote.

People who mock others for fun are really at the end/bottom of the civilization and evolution.

People do that to me and tell all these lies like they’re psychiatrists. They think it means criminal or dissociative disorder

Today at the store it felt like everyone was staring at me and it made me very uncomfortable. There was an alarm going off. I thought it might be a message but I filed that thought away successfully. Now I’m thinking about it again so I will distract myself.

I feel the same way. No one ever notices the things I hear and see. The same couple walked by me and my friends three days in a row totally laughing at me (or us)and no one noticed or stopped talking long enough to get offended. Meanwhile I was totally fuming and glared at them until they finally stopped.

It happened again to me today. Me and my boyfriend were walking through town holding hands and a man and woman gave us a weird look and stared at us when we walked away.

Maybe it is because my boyfriend is quite a bit older than me but jeez it’s not illegal to be in a relationship with someone older/younger is it? Ffs what is their problem, I bet their relationship isn’t perfect. Pair of judgemental idiots mind you’re own business and stop staring ffs.

I wish I had the confidence to scream and go nuts at people when they stare at me lol.

my neighbours stare at me as i walk past them

my family laugh at me to my face

ā– ā– ā– ā–  them all

You don’t have to scream or go nuts. Just put a smile on your face. That makes you friendly. Or blink an eye. Sometimes that sort of communication starts a conversation. People who feel stared at or stare are just looking for answers I guess. That what I figured out to settle it peacefully. In most cases the people who go nuts have problems of insecurity or are violent drunks.

I am with @SkinnyMe above. This whole idea of someone taking the time to stop and laugh at you is unrealistic and a med adjustment is likely in order. @Jesspresso, what you describe just doesn’t happen in reality. Also I knew another sz who ā€œheardā€ me laughing at her in the workplace. I was being quiet and minding my business – observable to a third party (our boss). Please take with a pinch of salt, but it sounds to me like there’s an issue to be addressed. Good luck.

don’t worry about the assholes who do this they are just being builles and trying to look cool in front of their friends boyfriend/girlfriend whatever. some people never change from highschool.

Yeah, but it’s usually because I have my hand down my pants and I’m itching my crotch in line at the grocery store. I’ll never understand people. Why don’t they just mind their own business and stop being so inappropriate in public? It always amazes me how clueless people are.

I feel like some people would laugh at me sometimes. Maybe not aloud but inside

I was walking through town earlier and as I walked past a man and a woman, the man shouted ā€œshe’s a messā€. Now I feel really insecure about myself. I had done my hair and makeup and put on a summery dress as it’s hot, yet apparently I’m still ugly as ā– ā– ā– ā–  and worth being harassed by strangers :sob::sob:. I was just minding my own business as well enjoying myself until that.

How am I a mess just by walking through town like the hundreds of other people around me. :rage:

It’s painful, but I can tolerate people laughing at me. What I don’t like is people who have no right to have any knowledge of my existence acting indignant and coming across really judgmental. Someone in a town thirty miles away has no right to know who I am if I only go there once a year.

There are those low lifes who try to build themselves up by tearing other people down. Try not to let them affect you. Also, you are by no means ugly, Jesspresso.

People here think you should look schizophrenic, and always doing illegal things to make you sick.

I notice a lot of people looking at me everywhere I go but the thing is I’m an athletic 6’2" woman with a very different aesthetic and weird mix of ancestry so I typically normalize their staring by assuming they simply don’t often see people like me and they have no self control in that regard. It’s always an annoyance nonetheless.
