Am I a creature from outer space that people haven't seen before, because quite frankly...I find it really disturbing why people stare at me CONSTANTLY because it makes me think whether they think Im a human being or something. They stare in suspicion..like I have done something to them or they stare because they just want to and I hate that fact!!! At school, people stare at me all the time as I walk normally, minding my own business through the halls, I get anxiety and my body starts to heat up and I get sweaty...sometimes blood pressure and flow through my body occurs. I am just soo afraid of people and soo shy to show my face to the world and society to be exact..I need someone's help to help me overcome this problem. When I cross the street, people stare at me from the inside of their cars...This is why I haven't had a Girlfriend in my life...too shy and vain and depressed because of it...when I do things, people look at me and I dont know why.. Ughhhhhhhhh, when I see really gorgeous girls, I feel intimdated in a good way, I feel ugly myself and that is why I try to hide my face most of the time...Please!!!!! Help a guy out, im 16 and im not supposed to be like this, got any advice???

 You're could just be self-conscious, shy and depressed. Either way, it might be best to discuss these things with your doctor.
I will say this though. People look at everybody. Its not just you. When people walk towards and past you, they're gonna look at your eyes at least once. Its human nature. You're not the only one that gets looked at.
Secondly... staring. Everybody has a different idea of the amount of time before eye contact becomes staring and uncomfortable. Similar to how people have a different sized personal bubble and how close people can physically be to their body before it becomes uncomfortable. If you've done any traveling or are friends with people from different countries then you'll really know what I mean.
So what you may think is "staring" may not be considered "staring" by the people around you.
But yeah, see your doctor and talk about your social anxiety and depression, they'll take it from there.
