I was stared at for wearing a plaster!

Yes, I had a little round plaster on my cheek to cover an oozing pimple. Most people didn't bat an eyelid, except for this one lady who just stared and stared with her mouth half open. She finally looked away when I made eye contact with a questioning though non-aggressive expression. It was an astounding experience which made me think of the lovely members of this community.

Some of you have reflected on how you feel when stared at and I wonder if together we could come up with positive ways we can all deal with staring and unwanted attention?
