There's staring and then there's another kind of staring.

The really creepy kind is when they are staring at you but it's like they're looking right through you and not seeing you at all. That kind of stare might make the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

That's a sign of someone with a serious personality disorder and someone you should steer clear of.

Guess I've been lucky in my life and never have had dealings with a "starer."

I can recall a starer or three in my past. One of them certainly was just sort of dumb, I think, and stared as part of her way of trying to understand something. I've also seen the "intimidation" stares from people. And there was a woman I worked with who did have a crush on me and would stare at me a lot. It was creepy, but I would just avoid her.

But I will never EVER forget the stare of a psychopath. You wouldn't either, if you'd ever experienced it.

Oooooh kitty. That sounds like there is a story there. Can you share?

I agree. You can always change the names to protect the innocent.

I've met all kinds including those that like long or continuous eye contact while talking. Every watch the Judge Judy Show?

[brewhaha]

Probably because I look like Mimi from the Drew Carey show.

I'd rather not.

I'll just say that it's the only time I've ever seen it and hope to never see it again as long as I live.

*shiver* I don't blame you.

Maybe she's just really good at maintaining eye contact when she talks.

I've never seen eyes like that up close and personal, but just seeing the eyes of Charles Manson as well as the gifted actor that played him in one of the movies (that guy was just as disturbing as Charles himself), gives me the creeps. I don't know if I'd ever get over it if those eyes met my own.

Last Year, I Worked With Añ Actor Who Kept Staring At Me All Throughout The Day. At Lunch, He Sat Acriss The RooM And Kept Staring At Me. It Got To The Point, I Thought I Had Something On My Face Or Hanging Out My Nose. Nope. I Noticed He didn'T Stare At Anyone Else. He'S A Lovely Man, Very Nice But The Staring Made Me Feel Uncomoirtable.

The only staring incident I can recall is once I got on an elevator and there was only one other person in there. A HUGE man. He was staring at me intently. I was about 18 and he scared me to death. I didn't know what do do so I held up the sack in my hand and said "hamburgers"

Is that like tossing meat in another direction to distract a mean dog?

Sorry, I don't mean to make light of a scary situation. But that's what popped into my head when I read your post.

In my dating days there was a guy who considered himself a trained hypnotist, who would stare at someone and then flutter his eyes. I guess he thought it was cute . . . it wasn't.

My own father would stare at my ear when he was yelling at me.
