Sarah Todd HammerThe stares were annoying, but I knew they didn’t mean any harm. So, every morning, smiling at them became part of my routine, too.
About This Quote
It’s easy to take pride in the fact that you are not bothered by people staring at you. However, try saying that you are not bothered by someone staring at you when there are people who are bothered by it. There is a strange mind set out there that anyone who stares at another person for any length of time must have some sort of problem with them. This is actually not true at all.
When someone really wants to make you angry or uncomfortable, they will make it clear. Only people who do not care about what others think will stare without caring about what others think.
