Are You Lookin' at Me?


Ever get the feeling people are watching you? Looking at you as you pass them by on the street or the aisle of the super market? Giving you the ol' double take or the stare down? I get it ALL the time...have for years. Naw...I'm not paranoid or looking for trouble or even imagining it. I'm just very observant and for many years now, I've noticed people looking at me and sometimes down right staring at me as I walk by or stand and look at something out in public. The reason I bring this up now is because while in Vegas, we were walking in a mall and just happened to walk past a group of what appeared to be middle eastern tourists. As we walked by them a couple of them very intently watched me as I walked by. I turned to my daughter and asked her if she saw that and she did. Don't know why they watched me. I wasn't walking around scantily clad, I'm not drop dead gorgeous enough to stop traffic nor am I ugly enough to do the same. I wasn't wearing a funny hat or acting outrages and although, as Raquel pointed out, I do look middle eastern to some people, I find it hard to believe they would be checking me out for that reason. So, having said this, I find it very interesting as to why people have always looked at me in some way or form to the point of me noticing them. Does this happen to you or should I check myself into some sort of narcissist rehab? I'm just sayin'!
