You already stated the obvious

I wrote what I wrote because I did not want someone like you to write a wall of text telling me how the problem is me. You were unable to figure that out.

See. You have proved my point. You can no longer vent in society because people will tell you that it is due to some personal deficiency you have and that you need make an effort to change. Meanwhile the people being rude can continue on and never change or burn a calorie contemplating how their actions affect others. You proved my point.

Maybe OP is hot af.

Upvoted just for being funny! Ha! Also, just a normal looking dude.

Yeah, people are not considerate nowadays. I can give you two examples:

This was in Tennessee (I do not live there now). I had a neighbor install a dog in his backyard. I say “install” because he got a dog, threw it in the backyard, never took it for walks, and spent no time with it. The dog would just bark and bark. When I complained he told me “you are just sensitive to loud noises”. Meanwhile, there were several nights when the dog would bark and wake us both up and I could hear him angrily yell at the dog to be quiet.

This was actually in Colorado. I was just passing through and camping in a National Forest. It was very peaceful until a dude came in and started blasting his car stereo while he was setting up his tent. I wasn’t even near him and was several sites away. I walked over and asked him if he could turn it down and it was instant asshole time. He started telling me about how all his friends were coming and it was going to get loud. And how it was my fault for coming to a popular camping spot and expecting silence.

So, you can’t reason with people. If someone is being rude they are the exact type who are not going to self-correct their rude behavior when pointed out. In fact, they will most likely double down on it and then insinuate that is you that’s the actual problem.

Those are valid points.

Psychology is complex

I see your point. Like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, right?

It’s a valid point but if you apply a slippery slope argument to staring and other rude behaviors it always results in the people being rude getting to do whatever they want, they do not have to spend energy thinking or correcting their actions, and the person being affected is the one who needs to change and just accept it. Still, I understand your point.

I don’t like people staring at me for uncomfortable periods of time but I don’t mind (and maybe like it) when little babies or toddlers do so out in public. I understand they are curious and have little self control. So, as you stated, “Psychology is complex”.

Corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. I hate typos too.

I can’t imagine why anyone would tell you “maybe the issue is you” when you complained

It’s very common for people to tell you that you are the issue when you complain. They do this because then it requires no effort on their part to change their behavior. They just volley the ball back into your court and tell you, “Uh, did you ever think that the issue is with you?” and “Don’t expect society to bend over backwards to adjust to your little issues” Once they say that they are guilt free they can continue on behaving as they choose because in their mind the issue is with you and not them.

Have you not experienced this? It’s very common now.

I feel like there’s more to this story.

Sorry, there’s not more to the story. People stare for uncomfortable amounts of time. Also, you stating that “there’s more to the story” is you doing a form of what I described above…which is pushing back on the person complaining and not on the underlying rude behavior.
