I have a friend who proudfully complains about “extraordinary attention” she gets on the streets, but I flat pointed out to her, “You’re the one staring down everyone who passes you by,” in eyeshot. Of course it’s an invitation to energy exchange, that she’s initiating compulsively. Smh.

Without sounding vulgar but straight to the point, wandering eyes are attention-seeking.

I choose to keep my chin high and look slightly above me when walking. I don’t make eye contact in public not even with shoptellers except to say Thank You (which I make a point to do out of gratitude). My choice.

For my experience, this choice is not a matter of lack in confidence nor is it antisocial; quite the contrary, my vibration is high (33), attractive and sage. I honor the eye by selectivity, mind my own business, and reflect with plants, animals and architecture in passing instead, or just meditate as I walk, looking into forward space.

Sure, people glance over in wonderment, it’s natural, we are atomic, however it’s never a confrontation of wills caused by contact.

Here's a thread you started in Asteroid Astrology, 2019.

Great answer, Vansio.

Your Moon conjunct Ascendant/H1 might be adding to your perceptions. Adds a sense of being more self-conscious about yourself, than the others around you.

Your Aquarius Moon might also be lending to that isolative-inward sensitivity-- you might experience feelings with a sense of being more detached from others.

*~

Consider your 'self-talk' too-- imagine people are "thinking" well of you, that people really 'like' you.

'Other people' may be having an other experience than what you are imagining.

For example, sometimes my forehead and areas around my eyes may appear to scowl (without me being aware of it). --- The arrangement of muscles I might have around my face is NOT about my 'feelings' about any persons {that I'm NOT relating to} in the location. I personally have to deal with headaches, which reflects slightly on face.

I recall once waiting on a taxi ride after grocery shopping. --
Standing an ample distance away from me, a woman caught my attention as with a mean voice she loudly accused me of JUDGING her?
.. No no no ... I hadn't really even 'noticed' her standing there as a distinct person!
.. My thoughts were engaged with waiting for the taxi, and what I was going to make for dinner.
{I had once been a smoker and I know how hard it is; I live with someone that smokes, and those kinds of thoughts never occur to me.}

That woman was "projecting" on ME--
She thought *I* was having negative thoughts and opinions about her "smoking habit."

She was thinking I was having "bad thoughts" about her smoking habit, and went as far as to attack me for it! ----- Truth was that I hadn't even noticed her presence!

I hope you'll be able to 'own back your own thoughts' about what people 'might' be thinking about you.

Hope you can become more and more comfortable in your own thoughts, about your self. {{ }}

Know for yourself, that you are Beautiful
Think about 'other' people in the same way.

ADD ... You're having a transit of Saturn over your Neptune. That can have a lowering effect on your self-esteem, and trigger self-doubts.
