When my anxiety is really bad and I go into a crisis, the sort of thing is the last thing on my mind. I'm trying to survive, my thoughts are inwards, I hardly notice people at all.
i noticed all the females dont like it or have mixed feelings... what if a guy stares at you for like 2 seconds then looks away? not enough to be creepy but longer so u know they find you attractive
But see, staring at you for two seconds isn't enough for you to actually know he's attracted to you. It can be enough to make you fret about it and wonder whether he in fact was staring because he's attracted to you, or if he just happened to be looking in your general direction. A glance implies nothing.
I like receiving positive attention from the opposite sex, yes. Do I like being ogled at? That's different. I don't mind someone looking in my direction, giving a friendly smile, but when your standing behind me or wherever, and licking your lips and salivating, that's just nasty.
