Why do you stare at people so much?

It’s not about you I just space off and people think I’m staring smh. Mind your business

I promise never to stay, I will take a picture of you and stare at it

 

[Factz]

Somalis generally have starring problems. The Somali elders especially aunties would stare at you because you're Somali. I remember I would get stared at by lots of Somali girls and it felt really awkward. I think this roots in our xenophobic nature and how Somalis would look around their surroundings, see a person from distance and etc. Our ancestors must've adapted this trait to stay on high alert and to protect their livestock and land.

True, our entire history is pure conflict.
