Wherever I go, people stare at me - men, women, children - I see them staring at me everywhere, I can walk on a street and some guys sitting on a bench would stare at me. I would stare back for a few seconds, but they won't look away, so I take my eyes from them, I walk some more for 10-20 seconds, and when I look back at them I see that they keep staring... I walk past them, and if I look back, their eyes are still on me.
If I go into public institutions, museums, universities, places that are open to the public, and there's a guard at the entrance I'm always stopped and asked what exactly is my business there, I rarely see this happening to other people who simply enter and nobody asks them anything.
If I sit on a bench in the park, minding my own business, and a police patrol passes by, they stop, ask my name and to see my ID, they say it's just a routine check and then go away, but again, I rarely see this happening to other people. In stores and supermarkets, the guards seem to follow me and watch me immediately as I enter the store, if I have a bag with items I bought in another place, the cashiers asks to see what's inside the bag, I have to keep the receipts from other stores to prove where I got the other stuff from.
Curios enough, all this unwanted attention I get, doesn't happen with a certain demographic category: I'm talking about teen girls and young women, any female from age 14 to 34 for example - I look at them, but they never look back at me. If some girl appears all of a sudden from nowhere and sees me, her eyes quickly move away, last time I was stared at by a girl I think happened when I was 12.
What do you think all of this means?
