I'm a 19 yo student. Anytime I'm cycling in uni Campus or walking in the mall, I notice literally many people stare at me. Most people maintain eye contact after catching them looking at them which I find weird. It's not just girls, though it is mostly girls, but guys as well. If a guy looks at me, I nod and they nod back, or I nod and smile if a girl looks at me and they reciprocate, but I really don't know why all these people look at me. The stare is a neutral stare they're not initially smiling, it's like they're trying to figure if they know me and I'm sure they don't so it's not because they might know me? My face is quite friendly, so I'm sure they're not imitated when i look at them.

So what are the possible reasons why they're staring
