Unusual Occurrences

Last week i went to a local bar for trivia and there was a tv at the back of the restaurant that i was looking at for questions. A girl at the table next to mine got really aggressive towards me because she maybe thought i was looking at her? As the night went on people at her table started looking at me for longer and longer periods of time. Her laughs got loud and shrill and her group did more and more to try and get my attention. Same thing happened to me this week at a different place: my trivia group went to a new bar and a huge group of adults got really stare-y when i looked in the judges direction literally one time…not even at them. They literally came over near where i was sitting and at the end of the night almost ran me and my friends over in the parking lot. What is going on? Why do people get so unnecessarily aggressive when they think you’re looking at them?

I should also note that all the people in question were relatively normal-looking. Didn’t seem like regulars and actually looked pretty preppy. It was just baffling to experience what i did

@Rayanswaid I appreciate the advice but I can’t help it. All my life it’s something I’ve never been able to learn to control…trust me Ive tried. I really can’t express enough that I can’t make a normal amount of eye contact and that’s just how i am. I wish i had an explanation but instead medical professionals have not been able to help me Im trapped

@Rayanswaid Absolutely, and this is a great place to be. People reply frequently and you find people who have the same experiences as you. It really helps
