How to deal with people approaching you in the street?
i need some advice. when im just walking to the shop, or my friends house... random people come to me and talk... they are being friendly sometimes, but sometimes they are being creepy.... they ask me questions like where are you from, how long have you lived here. it makes me feel uncomfortable because ive lived here all my life and people dont beleive me, they ask me randomly hey are you brazilian, are you iranian? are you a gypsy? i just say no. why do people think they have the right, i get really offended.. im mixed ethnicity too so i just say im english! or people sometimes follow me and stare at me.. i get insecure because i jsut want to walk down the street without people bothering me... and i dont know what to say in these situations...
What's the strangest dream you've ever had?
Ever had a really long, weird, or detailed dream? just for fun, tell me about it! bonus question: when you dream you are in a nonexistent place, does it ever feel familiar. like you've been there before? life you've been there many times?
Why when I go to stores the people watch me like they think I'm going to shoplift?
I can't go anywhere in the mall or grocery store without a security guard or employee watching me like I'm a criminal.I know some people shop lift but sometimes I wonder if its just because I'm dark skined.I don't want to live with a chip on my shoulder but I'm tired of it.I feel like I'm treated like a second rate person because I'm latino.Does anyone else feel this way ? I'm sorry but the whites would'nt understand because it doesn't happen to you.
Does anyone have some ideas for good social experiments a sociology student could do?
Go to the school library. Find someone you don't know and sit at their table, right across from them, and start to study like you have done nothing out of the ordinary. Don't ask for permission, or if the seat is taken. Just sit down and start studying. See what kind of reaction you get.
