To some extent, the [[meaning]] of a person’s staring [[behaviour]] depends upon the attributions made by the [[observer]]. Staring often occurs [[accidentally]], when someone appears to be staring into [[space]] they may well be lost in [[thought]], or stupefied, or simply unable to see.

Staring [[conceptually]] also implies confronting the [[inevitable]] – ‘staring [[death]] in the face’, or ‘staring into the [[abyss]]’. Group staring evokes and emphasises [[paranoia]]; such as the [[archetypal]] [[stranger]] walking into a saloon in a Western to be greeted by the stares of all the regulars. The [[fear]] of being stared at is called Scopophobia.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staring]
