Recently moved to Bay Area. While shopping, whenever a random person makes eye contact, they keep staring without any smile or nod. I feel like a bimbo for smiling at first sight and walking in shame afterwards😅. Anyone else notice this? Context: I’m Indian and the stares are coming at following rates per ethnicity group Indian - 99% Asian - 90% Light skinned folks - 90% Dark skinned folks - 30% Latinos - 20% TC:225
Are you wearing your make up wrong?
Yes, Happens to me all the time. I think non American born do that cause that’s what people do in their home countries
You a hot grille?
You’re just being stared back at. Stop staring!
They’re staring because they’re wondering why you’re paying for stuff which is grab n run
Thanks for the chuckle
😂😂😂
Were you always doing illegal thing out there?
Nope, just pushing shopping cart around Costco
Do you mean they are making eye contact? That seems normal and staring implies like 5-10 seconds pointing their head at you with eyebrows raised
You are an Indian so you should know it’s our Indian habit. Just imagine in India everyone saying thank you to bus driver while getting off and driver saying thank you in response, he’ll be mad in one week
Gender ?
I identify as a cis male 🙃
Just say male
