Today one of my superiors at work was staring at me really intensively and made me really uncomfortable.I wasn`t sure how to react and just smiled and quickly turned my back to him.I must say it was a very weird stare.

@AAichka Your boss is probably power tripping or maybe like what you're wearing that day. What do you think?

In some countries staring is considered a rude act.

@AAichka I was at a place and this person kept staring at me. It bothered me. The person I was with did not believe it. Yes, it can be very uncomfortable.

Whatever puts others at discomfort is rude.

It depends on the kind of stare, he must be amused of you, he could be smitten by you. If you think it rude,maybe you can ask him if there's anything he want to ask.

If someone were staring at me and that was unpleasant to me, I would not have smiled. Because that smile gives him a 'green light' ...so it was in my time

@LowRiderX I am 41.I would asked him in different circumstances,but not in the presence of other colleagues.Asking him what was the matter in my opinion would be worse than just smiling.I am very careful how I communicate with my managers(he was onre of my managers)and supervisors. By the way I noticed you are Serbian,I am from Bulgaria.
