What and who makes you conscious?

Hey chaynezjapanez, I can completely relate to what you're saying. People staring at me used to make me conscious about myself all the time. Things like staring at the way I've dressed or looking at me from a distance used to make me feel odd sometimes and very irritated too. But over the years, I've learnt to overcome the feeling of being bothered by prying eyes. I mean I've developed an 'I-Don't-Care' attitude and become sort of immune to such things as being stared at or being commented upon.. I strongly feel that people tend to stare at others when they -admire -envy -look up to the other person etc - have been affected by the person's actions or deeds Mostly, when people stare at you, it means they sort of find you different from themselves and somewhere in the corner of their hearts wish they were 'you' I may be wrong, but I've come across too many instances in my own life and have learnt lessons from them Cheers, Karen
