How to avoid staring?

Question

hello, well its difficult to admit and ask about it in public, but i do realise that staring is impolite and indecent. what can i do to avoid staring specially at certain body parts or when people are wearing flashy cloths?

Answer 1

It would probably be too hard to stop looking altogether, but instead of just flat out staring, glance every once and a while if need be. Don't make it obvious or anything, but you still can look.

Answer 2

Try excusing yourself from the place to go to the washroom or something. With that regard, you eliminate the thought that was initially heavy in your mind.

When you come back to that same place a few minutes later, your mind will probably be pre-occupied with another thought or the conversation itself.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

People wearing flashy clothes are attention seekers. They really get cheesed off if they are not looked at or ignored. Keep your attention on older, plainly dressed people. That will annoy the flashy dressers.

Answer 4

tell yourself to stop perving, perv boy lol, no realy just stop staring x

Answer 5

There is nothing wrong with looking.  But if you turn around and start following someone, you are acting improperly.  You need to be secure in who you are and stop wondering and staring at other people.

Answer 6

Peek out the corner of your eye.

Answer 12

(Matthew 5:28 ESV)

"But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

lol in other wors don't be a perv

Answer 13

keep yourself occupied with something else, try to focus at their eyes or face, or just imagine them as your grandma or something.  

Answer 14

It's a difficult thing to avoid staring at a person you have feelings for, as for staring at random people you just need to keep your brain active and not let yourself wander. Try and recreate an episode of your favourite TV show in your head next time you start staring.

Answer 15

Look at the ceiling to get yourself together, then make a point to concentrate on the person's face.  If you're still having trouble, look away often to be sure you're not about to go right back to the staring.

Answer 16

wear sunglasses

Answer 17

LOL dude almost everyone stares at other people because they stand out.

It's O.K it's natural dude.

I have a habit at staring at girls butts, legs, faces when they walk by just to check them out ROFL. ( Im not a pervert ok) *cough*

Answer 18

I get this problem too, you just gotta tell yourself in your head "don't look" over and over again, heh. or be subtle and don't make it obvious.

Answer 19

I consciously tell meself to look away. It does take a bit of effort, but has kept me out of trouble thus far.
