Why do people stare?

[Sentry]

Everywhere I go I feel like people are staring at me,does that make me so ugly people can help themselves or does everybody stare at everybody.makes me self conscious,I have terrible social anxiety.
Does anybody have any advice on how to not care or ignore it?

Depends on culture, i know what you mean though i get really uncomfortable in certain countries. In the more civilised countries in Europe there is less staring only friendly glances

Once I almost got myself into trouble for staring at a ugly kid
Her mother got legit mad at me LMAO

Yeah I wear a hat everywhere I go in public and mask now,it helps with anxiety,like people can't really see you or something lol

Thats ridiculous, people are not staring at you. You are just socially anxious and every look in your direction adds to your paranoia that someone is staring at you. Unless you walk in to the store wearing a pimp suit with a zebra stripe pattern hat, and start yelling obscenities, people won't stare at you, the average person doesnt care

Just ask in a firm voice "What you lookin' at?" or "Are you eyeballing me, boy?". You don't even have to wait for an answer, most people would look away quickly, and you can do your thing or walk away without any problems.
