Starring day...

There are some days like this, when you walk down the streets and everyone seem to look at you, when at other times they wont even be noticing you, as if you're face appeared in the news last night or in the morning papers. I'm always puzzled by such days. Seems like either there's something wrong with your face or you look like the serial killer whose picture appeared in the media lately. Today I experienced this "starring day" (just like the "bad hair day"), yet again, and I should admit it’s not that much of an interesting situation. Makes you feel odd, like you did something wrong, yeah makes you feel guilty and you don't know your crime. Come on people give it a break.

I walked downtown during lunch today only to find out a few people, much more that usual actually, starring at me. I admit there were mostly ladies among them but even then it’s not that pleasant (I’m not a gorgeous guy to attract so many eyes, is it? loll). Well I got so much embarrassed by this that I even went to the toilets of the local mall and look at myself in the mirror from all angles, hmmm nothing wrong with me according to me... I still look like a human being, I think, there isn’t any stickers saying call me stupid glued on my back or forehead (...) Well when I finally reached the place where I wanted to have lunch, I bought myself a meal and sat down alone, near the door. There was a couple sitting right in front of me and I was having the impression that the girl was starring at me too. I looked back and saw no one behind me except a wall. I thought to myself "...maybe she wants a bite of my meal... :)". Well only then, her boyfriend started to look at me noticed here starring. Oops I think she'll be in trouble... Okay, so I starred back at my meal and tried to finish it without looking up again or at them rather. I think I’m being paranoid today; the couple started talking and I was wondering of what they could be talking about. Was she being asked to explain why she was starring at me or is their subject of discussion completely irrelevant to my thoughts? Well their discussion seemed to be getting serious though and a few glance at my way made me feel as if I was guilty. So I quickly finished my meal and got up and walked towards the door. Just when I grabbed the handle to open it, I felt like a hand touching my shoulder... no time to think I turned to look back... False alert, just someone bumped into me... arggghhh... I’m being more than paranoid. What was I thinking about, the jealous boyfriend wanting to punch my face?? Too much paranoia can get you killed... I walked back to the office only to find out that nobody was starring at me now… Hmmm everything back to normal, what a pleasant feeling.
