Can People tell?

Can anyone tell that my body movements are in response to them? Can they "catch me" paying attention? Are there signs I give off that are obvious to them, that I'm focused on them, or is it all in my head and not happening?

Hi Eric, Oh it's happening physically to you for whatever deep reason. However,

other's I would say do not see it as you focusing on them. That is unless you were

mimicking and ridiculing them in some offensive way. :) xx

So others do not know I'm focused on them, or care if I am?

Precisely Eric... you're wasting your energy worrying about

people who are not even focusing on you. :) xx

Pretty sure that it is more of a you thing. Hoping that other people think enough of themselves to not care about your thoughts...

Hi Eric! Why do you care if others notice you?

Shouldn't I care? Idk I believe that I'll be viewed incorrectly if I'm noticed incorrectly. I feel that I will be shamed for being overly attentive to others, and then that will make me more likely to be socially chastised and not accepted into the group.

Eric, I’m pretty sure most if not all people are oblivious to all others unless it is their job to pass judgment.
