you stare back also same thing what. make them fear you. no
diff
Ah..I think I wasnt being too clear above.
The thing about staring back (or looking back) is making eye
contact - Official studies and reports have shown that bullies (who
suffer from low self-esteem, share similiar traits with gangsters
esp. in SG) tend to pick on those who walk with their backs hunched
with their eyes looking at the ground. By making eye contact, you
are acknowledging their presence and attention on you, not to make
them feel uncomfortable. Even when faced with wild animals who
attack humans, maintaining eye contact is an integral part of
survival. You are letting your opponent know that he is facing a
tenacious individual who won't go down without a fight.
But the thing in real life is that we try to minimize physical
aggression. Generally when faced with a bunch of good-for-nothings
(that is what I call them, those that sit around watching
fingernails grow and staring at strangers), I would just look
around casually while making sure that I look directly at them for
a moment or so. Try not to stare hard - it isn't a staring
competition, and dry eyeballs only make it disadvantageous in case
of aggression. It is also rude.
If they keep watching you - just walk away, or if you have a
reason to stick around, make sure that you keep your head up, and
do not allow yourself to be intimidated by them scum.
Cheers!
