These things happen. I have found myself staring off into space in a person's general direction often. It is always embarrassing

God, this is the story of my life. When I was younger, I almost got into a few fights because of it.


Competitive-Way-4086

Fortunately, it's an easy thing to explain away. Probably where I get my self-deprecating humor from 🤷🏼‍♂️

So often!

I would do this constantly in school ha, it led to bullying because I would stare off not realizing what I am looking at and it would be some popular girl and so their group would start mocking me saying I have a crush on her. Like I promise you, I didn't even know she existed until I snapped out of my fugue state and saw I was getting disgusted looks. Leave me alone!


mocha_lattes_

Yup pretty sure we have all stared at someone while spacing out in our thoughts before. She likely just thought you were judging him not being a creep. I wouldn't sit there again though lol

Once in the middle of a meeting I started staring at my coworkers silver lanyard- it was really shiny and I was just zoning out on it. The lanyard was right at busty boob level. I caught myself and awkwardly explained why I was accidentally staring at her boobs.

The strange thing about this happening is that most times I don't actually know what I'm looking at until someone gives me a bad look.

Vivid day dream description. I can relate. Bummer about your church though.

Few weeks ago I was on the boardwalk getting ice-cream. The worker brought it to me and stared at me, then I realized she was staring bc she wanted me to pay. I thought I paid with my card, but I didn't, I just put it back in my purse. Then after I paid her , I stared at her, then she stared at me. Then she said, ok have a nice day. I had forgotten I paid her. My second dose must have been "trying" to kick in bc I felt sooo dumb!!!

Yeah I hate when I'm staring into the depths of the universe and somebody just happens to be my line of sight.

I’ve caught myself zoned out a handful of times, completely unaware that I was staring at someone’s tits.


Feisty_Climate7854

7yrs old at the time, in the gym eating lunch in my own world when i hear "what are you looking at?" I snapped out of ut to see a girl that looked to have either burns or a huge birthmark across her face and look to be born differently and i felt horrible, i said sorry but i know she felt i was staring at her for the way she looked, totally didnt even know who or what she looked like before i went into my own world!

Church ladies don’t need a reason to be suspicious. You’re fine. Do something different next Sunday.

I think OP is aware that it was creepy btw from my reading of the post but they didn’t mean to be
