Can someone tell me detailed signs where you can easily tell if someone is REALLY laughing at you?

like do they laugh when ur coming in their way? cus sometimes I feel like a group of people laugh as Im walking towards them so I look at them and they arent looking at me. So wat are the good signs?

Well glances from them to you. Even if they are quick glares or peeks. Don't overthink it though.

It really depends. If you listen to what they are saying you can get an idea. Or if they are looking right at you and laughing they probably are laughing at you. You can't always assume people are laughing at you because people could be talking about thousands of things that could be making them laugh. The most important thing is to not care if these people are laughing at you or not. Most of the time when people are laughing at you they don't even know you, or at least that's been my case. People that laugh at shy people are ignorant, they don't know what it's like to be us.

The question U're asking is a good example of a negative mindset. Why should u approach the world w/a warry eye and look for pple who might be laughing at u? What would happen if u had more confidence in urself? Instead of looking for pple who are laughing at u, what if u looked for pple u could have fun with? What would happen if ur question was "What are the sings when pairs(s) can be ur friend?" There are things u can do to convey confidence until ur actually able to have confidence. These are:

Walk towards them instead of away
Make eye contact w/them instead of looking at the floor
Smile instead of looking frightened
Say "Hello" instead of saying nothing
Stop! Try to have conversation instead of hurrying past- Any conversatuion will do. Start by trying
Laugh

Try to operate in the world from a standpoint that Noone is laughing at u and approach pple from that perspective.

thanks for the insightful answer but in my particular case, I was walking up the street, saw like three other dudes, kept on walking, heard a laughter.. so when I got shoulder to shoulder I looked and none was looking at me. Wouldnt they at least glance at me if I got to close if they were to be laughing at me?

I appreciate your answer but your not answering my question. My question is not why im worrying about it. My question is were they laughing at me or not from what I described you.

You need to stop caring about people laughing at you. Do you know how many people have laughed at me? If I was as worried as you are, I wouldn't be able to even go to the grocery store. By the way, these 3 guys that supposively laughed at you, I'm willing to bet you don't even see these guys again. What do you care what some ignorant joe-shmoes on the street think of you? I understand that you don't like hearing people laugh at you and making fun of you. But if you don't learn to brush off pricks like that your life is going to be long and excruciating worrying about what people think of you. I get it's not always easy for us shy people with worrying what others think, but do what you can to avoid worrying about stranger's opinion of you.

maybe if they look you in the eye or point at you and laugh

otherwise, I wouldn't say there's any way to know for sure

unless you can read minds, you're probably just making assumptions which are based more on what's going on in your own head than in theirs

James if the 3 guys actually laughed at me which I knew completely, i wouldnt be asking this question.

That's what I'm saying! I'm saying you don't even know these guys, and probably won't even see them again for the rest of your life. These 3 guys have no impact on what happens to you for the rest of your life unless of course you let them laughing at you effect you. I'm suggesting you forget about these meaningless, nobody 3 guys. If you're going to be concerned about what people think of you, at least let it be someone you know or have to be around. Let's say they really were making fun of you, and let's say it was because they saw that you were shy which is why most people laugh at us. If they were laughing, it was probably because of this reason, and that makes them immature jerks and a waste of your time anyways. It makes you better than them because you don't have to make fun of a shy kid on the street to feel better about yourself. Instead of worrying about them laughing at you, you should be thankful that you are a better person than they are.

From this I would say that no, they were not laughing at you. I would expect ppl to openly look at you, to glance back at one another, and laugh directly and animatedly at you. If in doubt, I would say no they are not. Hope that helps.
