If you are travelling in a spaceship travelling with speed comparable to speed of light, then to a stationary person outside the spaceship, time appears to slow down in the spaceship. What would appear to a person (you) when you are looking out of the spaceship at the stationary world? Will time of the outside stationary world even slow down for the person moving with speed comparable to speed of light?

Lets assume that the stationary person in the question is a person who is standing on earth and looking at the spaceship which is of glass so that everything can be seen through it.

There is no such thing as stationary. We could both claim that the other is moving close to the speed of light. Both observers would see the other's clocks as running slow.

Both observers will see the others clock as moving slower relative to their own.
