i'm a reasonably attractive (not being vain) and nice person and i am certainly not paranoid but people tend to stare at me a lot, sort of like reverse paranoia, sometimes i dress high-class or talk about arty things to people and it's like they seem to be jealous or something, but they shouldn't be.
sounds confusing doesn't it??

Interesting. You noticed that people are looking at you. But, you did not mention noticing anything else about other people.

Not at all. I agree that it is intimidation rather than jealousy. People fear rejection, degradation, rudeness and the like.
Hold on a second ....
That was Wonder Woman on the phone and she needs her blocker bracelets back that she loaned you 5 years ago.
Just kidding, but seriously I think you are as intimidated as the people that look at you and block any potential interaction.
Try smiling at someone you notice "staring" at you, they will most likely say hello because you have given them a signal that you are open to interaction and a casual "hey how ya doin?" while you wait to cross the street.
We are all a lot more alike than we are different. I know that you have seen someone somewhere at sometime that you really wanted to meet or talk to but were too scared to make the first move. And I would be willing to bet that it has happened more than once.
Relax and get over it and yourself while you are at it.

People are scared of people who are self-confident. It seems as if your not afraid to be yourself, like you have nothing to loose. People will be jealous of this only b/c they feel they have to act a certain way and they see you being rebellious and they envy that and want it

Well the answer to that question lies within your own brain. check yourself out. if you didn't know you, would you be intimidated?
