    • @shroads79
      @shroads79 8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I think it creeps us out because, staring can be intimidating. Staring aren't ment to be a friendly gesture usually (depends on their facial expression). I can't stand stares to be honest.

    • @camarillaadams4103

    • @bento4876
      @bento4876 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The answer is late but I will tell you anyway. People think that way because it once served for the sake of survival. It makes them anxious because it reminds them of a predator preying upon them. Sociopaths for example do not have this issue because they have a reduced sense of fear.

    • @artvandelay3840
      @artvandelay3840 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think it's because staring suggests intent on the part of the person staring. You don't know what their motivation for staring at you is. That makes you think whatever their intent is, it's apt to be unpleasant.

      Gabriel Guzman You just admittedly and deliberately directed your attention on something besides yourself like an another individual because you were so called bored then act as if you never knew they were never there. No.. you allowed yourself to become distracted/grossly preoccupied with the subject to the extent that you forgot what you were doing. I hear that “zoning out” excuse all the time when people are guilty of it at a gym. If you had proper mind and muscle and connection you would focus on your workout not someone else’s body or eyeballs. That’s horse shit. You are fully conscious of what you are doing

      JCarolR hey, can I just tell you something. I want to get it off my shoulders. I was at the mall today holding a cherry coke upstairs looking below from down stairs. But when I was about to turn.their was a girl frozen in her tracks glaring.Boiled at me. I don't know of what she thought my intentions were but Damm. But she had her phone. But a saw another few when I went to the end of hallways upstairs holding a drink. It's like a cant do this curtain thing.or eat this curtain thing.feel this emotion.or hold this curtain thing at a curtain place. I was so steamed when I saw another girl stare when I looked down from the upstairs floor. I just need to talk because there was this other guy who did not take his eye off of me when I was sitting at a bench near the pier. Maybe if a didn't have a drink in my hand. I had a lid then it broke. I mean like I wish people would not stare for a long time. But I know that they are not thinking about me as much as I think that they are. But I was just wanting to tell you about that weird encounter. But I'm trying not to care what people think. However,For me at Seventeen Years Old impacts a milestone.

      Pacey Mauldin I know how you feel in my last high school year I used to have this girl always stare at me if I wasn't in her eyesight and I was behind her she would literally stop everything just to stare at me after a while it started getting annoying at times I was thinking I should go and ask her why do you stare at me but the would be too awkward I started to pick up and noticed she didn't stare at other people this continue all the way until we graduating and I still think why did she stare at me and also she had a boyfriend too

  • @Naskuji
    @Naskuji 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    With social anxiety, this feeling becomes so powerful ( and awful ) it litteraly anihilates all decision / action you could take / make and you just wanna crawl to a place where you're safe from every hypothetic painful look.

    Smoking weed has done a lot to me. It's made me think I'm schizophrenic. It's made me think I'm a psychopath. It makes me think that everybody is looking at me all the time and my peripheral vision tells my mind that that face to my left is staring directly at me even though it's not. But weed is not to blame. My own brain is to blame

      It's called primal gaze detection. It's a "6th sense" if you will. We all have this instinct. It means someone or something is looking at you with some kind of intentions, either bad or good. Could be a guy who likes your butt or a girl who is jealous of your looks.. could be a serial killer who wants to chop you up... Just trust your gut and you'll be fine : )

    I just experienced some weird thing. I was going to my fridge, it was dark in the kitchen. I saw a woman walk by out side in the dark. So I thought I wait a few seconds to open my fridge. She had an hoody covering her whole head, so I was looking out to see she walk on, but she Stopped suddenly and pulled away her hoody and looked my directly in the eyes. It was totally scary and creepy, What is that thing ? I have seen it also when I drive on the highway, I look at some woman walking there 300 meters away and she turns head and looks me dead in the eye whilst doing 65 on the freeway.

    Answer is because of the fact that predators usually Stare at their prey before striking, this is learned by other animals which is why almost every animal looks back to make sure they don't get attacked. This is common in humans too.

    I hate being stared at and when I look around for someone staring at me I am usually right about that even if they are behind me it actually pisses me off and I feel as if it is an insult when someone stares at me for a certain period of time and usually when I look at someone at the same time when they look at me we have a stare off for a little bit(usually the one with a stare that scares the other causes the guy being stared at to look away) I've even seen other animals do this.

      @nickpastorino5370 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      awesome1ru That's not confidence, that's fear. He was afraid that the person staring at him was somehow insulting him so he got defensive and aggressively stared back. Anger is always fear and/or feelings of inadequacy (low self esteem) in disguise. American media portrays violent people as fearless and sexy but in reality people like that are cowards who can't admit to themselves that they're insecure.

It's pretty neat! Our social brains are interesting!

    I stare at people to observe their appearances. Sometimes I get caught up in staring at them and they look at me weirdly before leaving wherever I am, or trying to ignore me. Usually I get embarrassed and stop. It's just that I think it's interesting how so many people can look different when we're all from the same species, humans. It's weird that we humans have genetically different appearances when some animals, say flies, all look identical.

    Me: I wasn't looking at you, YOU were looking at me!
    Mom: How did you know I was looking at you if you weren't looking at me?
    Me: I was looking at you because you were looking at me.

      If you are male staring at females, or female staring at males thats normal. If you are dude who staring on other dudes = u are gay or bisexual gay. And if they are not gay/bisexual its pretty normal for them to look away because they are not intrested in u at all. Sometimes ppl look away because they find u ugly.

    You sir, are astute. I specialize in human and animal behavior and the reason animals "lock on" to you when you stare is a self preservation instinct. We have 2 forward facing eyes - most predators have. This is enough to freak out any animal... including humans. It's why we feel uneasy when someone stares at us. We feel like the prey. Not blinking suggests that a target has been locked onto, like a big cat stalking it's prey, it never takes it's eyes off its target.

    De-oxygenated blood is not blue. It is dark red. This can be seen when you have a blood-sample taken as the tube they use to extract your blood is a vaccum with no oxygen in it, and they draw from a vein not an artery. It appears blue because the fat layers in your body filter the red light as it passes through them and you see a blue color. This is also why you can blush red- capilaries are close to the surface of your skin beyond the fat layer, so this red-filtering does not occur.

    Exactly. We were evolved to notice everything, seeing as we're so helpless otherwise. I mean, look at us. We have thin, unprotected skin, no claws, flat teeth, run ridiculously slow for our size (due to the way our knees are), small ears, almost nonexistent smell, and we taste delicious (in fact, cannibals say we taste like pork). The list goes on and on. And we're expected to survive? This is why we're so sensitive with this kind of stuff.

  • @savageBB

    Easiest way to figure our creepiness with staring is to look at early humans in the wild. Predatory animals (wolves, lions, etc.) have their eyes towards the front, as opposed to prey animals (Deer, rabbit, etc.) with eyes to the side of their heads.
    The eyes in front focus on hunting, the eyes on the side is gazing/keeping watch for predators. It seems pretty obvious that we feel weird about staring because we feel like we're targeted or watched by a predator/someone who wants to hurt us. Its primarily a survival mechanism.

    "Don't go thinking it's ESP or anything like that" .. gaze perception? Well yeah, it's perfectly valid I guess, but then again, SO IS ESP! lol - any reason that our perception of being stared at, that 'weird feeling' couldn't be a combination of both? as in, yes, sometimes it's your gaze perception. Oh, and sometimes it's your intuition, or latent esp - which, btw, is inherent in all of us.

  • @nfcoard
    @nfcoard 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is extra sensory perception in many cases. In many cases it has nothing to do with peripheral vision because some people have their eyes completely closed or someone directly behind them staring at them and they can still "feel" the stare pretty much the moment the staring begins. However science believes that ESP doesn't exist, so they will come up with any explanation that doesn't involve ESP. Our technology and science is still very primitive compared to what's possible.
