Hi all, so today I did something stupid (well not stupid just daft) I was sitting in class and my classmate sat opposite me (both sides of the class face each other) anyway I stared at him for for what felt like a few seconds but I could tell he was a ntimidated. Anyway he started staring at me back and I glanced at him and I would look away and this happened loads of times. With him looking away at times also. There was also a time when he seemed to take a picture of me with his phone and laughed with his freind towards me (well, he didn’t stare at me directly but it felt like it) anyway it’s gonna be tense now because he will think I want to fight him or something which I don’t want. It wasn’t as bad towards the end of class, we seemed to both avoid staring at each other. So, what should I do?
I’d just avoid him. It doesn’t have to be awkward if you leave it be and don’t do it again. I don’t think most people want to fight, and I bet he wasn’t laughing at you (could have been a coincidence). Most of the time when we think people are laughing at/talking about us, we are wrong. People are too self-absorbed to worry about others all too often.
dont worry its normal…sometimes people get into staring competitions… best thing to do is to just do the humble thing and look away. Its the right thing to do because we dont want to make them feel uncomfortable. Just be the good guy and God will bless you
Ya hopefully, will do.im not sure, he is a colorful character and very opinionated but it was because he sat directly opposite me which was new, it was a girl that sat there last week. I was just in a daze and he was in my line of sight. I think his confidence intimidates me and I try to protect myself by acting hard.
