I wouldn’t say fear, but I feel very uncomfortable when random men stare at me. Like you said, it feels like they’re looking through me and I don’t like that.

A lot of people are now afraid of making eye contact during a conversation. It's odd talking to people while they are looking elsewhere. I find that difficult because it seems they are not interested in the conversation. I had a friend who did this, and I addressed it with him. He said it was a self-esteem issue he was going through. I adviced him if eye contact is the issue just look at person forehead while in a conversation than it seems your at least looking direct at them.

Pre-Covid I was studying Business enterprise, I had a teacher (who was bossy and very argumentative). At one time I gave her an awkward stare, not because I did the intent to make her uncomfortable but because I actually found her uncomfortable when ever I’m around her presence.

Later on she gave me the same death stare i gave her because of my awkward glare.
But what she doesn’t know I have Scopophobia.

No, I dont. But when people look I try to think what their thoughts are.

I presume their thoughts inside my thoughts. Making my thoughts what their thoughts are. Confusing lol 😂

It's never good to confuse on what people think of you but rather what has there past relations have been towards you. It never good to please people but to please yourself be your number one cheerleader. My Abo taught me get what you can out of people and make your ordering them around be the leader and make your sure your asking alot more questions in a conversation to lead and guide a conversation instead of being submissive. For instance when people look towards me and they stair for more than 2 seconds I tend to start a simple conversation with them because I don't like being staired at also it teaches them you noticed them and it's watches them by surprise.

The crazy thing is that I dont have these thoughts for people I know or someone I've met before.

But it only comes to my mind for complete strangers or random people who I'm walking past. Which doesn't make, I dont understand it myself.

Are you boy or girl? Because it can really boil down to that.
 
Hows your confidence in yourself? alot of us that youg Somali's have not been given the right amount of praise as children and it some time can lead to this. If i was you i would join clubs that can aid in communication or leadership because youll meet with alot of people and this will eventually reduce it. Sometimes it not you but some people have a stairing problem.

Oh man you guys would hate it back home In africa cause Somalis would just stare at you for no reason esp the badiyo ones. I got into 2 fights cause niggas would just stare without talking and it would just trigger tf out of me

Hows your confidence
See thats the funny thing, I'm always confident and ready for any scenario day-to-day, but I still get sudden thoughts about what random strangers who I pass by are thinking about me when I'm walking past etc.

Its hard to describe it
