I have to admit, I stare at people a lot. Mostly other women. I’m sure it stems from my own insecurities and perpetuates my paranoia that someone, somewhere is always looking at me, but I can’t help it. Most days, I hide behind my sunglasses, which allows me to glance a little too long to inspect choices in outfits, hairstyles, and such. I feel safe behind the tinted lenses and don’t worry about people seeing me stare.
So its always a little unnerving the first day I wear my regular glasses after having worn contacts and sunglasses for a long period of time. I find myself staring at someone, only to remember they can see me and realize they are challenging me with eye contact. Okay, well, they’re probably not challenging me, but that’s how it feels. Which I’m sure is a reflection of my own guilt on the matter.
Anyway, today is one of those days. I am wearing transparent lenses and will have to be more conscious of my gaze. I guess at least I recognize it, right?
