Why must they stare so loudly

Hi JMG,

I was wondering if you could shine some light on the subtle/energetic dynamics that occur when a person is being observed by another. I'm trying to come to a better understanding of why some people, like myself, become discombobulated the moment another person is directly watching them.

For me, I can say that it feels as though there's a force being sent out through the eyes of the other that presses on me in a manner similar to the weight of gravity. This force also grows exponentially more unbearable as the number of people who are observing increases.
Of course, I assume I'm also adding to this 'pressured' feeling, albeit unconsciously, so there's much journaling and self-reflection happening on my end already, but it doesn't seem to be entirely "in my own mind".

Additionally - Could this same dynamic help to explain, at least in part, why direct eye contact with another person can feel so overwhelming (at times)?

Thank you
