whenever i go out i think people are staring at me is this low self esteem?

Question

could this have anything to do with being 40 yrs old and never had a girlfriend

Answer 1

I have the same problem and it drives me mad, but it is low self asteem.

Answer 2

Buddy, that is a good thing that people are starring at you. Many men still got game at 40+years. Check out nice clothing magazines and learn to dress yourself, then people will get a different reaction and want to even talk to you to become your friend. Awesome, advise don't you think.? 2 points baby!!

Answer 3

It's either low self esteem or really high self esteem...It depends on what you are thinking they are saying to themselves when they are staring at you that determines if it's low or high...I used to think the same way.

Answer 4

It's called self awarness and everyone does it mate!
You cant walk down the street without making eye contact with other people or looking at other people as you pass, other wise you'd end up bumping in to everybody :)

Your not going scitzo or anything. If you ask any of your mates i can bet you it happens to them as well.

Answer 5

yes it is

I prescribe pills and therapy. You will need to be really quite depressed to get these on NHS, though.

I also prescribe a lot of socialising, a lot of patience with yourself and a whooooole stack of time.

PS I just read your added details - and prescription is unchanged. You have a better chance with the NHS now. Note: you may have to slightly overstate your predicament to get attention. Go see GP; that's the door to what you need.

Answer 6

Yes probably as long as there isn't a dead animal stuck to you it is most likely self esteem issues.

Answer 7

Maybe they like what they see! Take things a step further and ask one out?

Answer 8

Are you paranoid or could it be self centred fear?

Answer 9

Answer 10
