Poll: Putting your finger close to your "third eye"

Here ya go.

Was that during the staring at goats era?

A quick google seems to indicate sensing someone’s gaze (even when you’re not looking at them) is a thing. And no, it’s not all psychic phenomenon type stuff either. There are other more prosaic explanations to account for it.

Your first link is an opinion piece, the second link says that we are “hard-wired” to believe that strangers are watching us, and the third link states that “However, it turns out we can only reliably detect such gaze within four degrees of our central fixation point.”
The fact that, if you turn around to see if anyone is looking at you:

  1. You will remember the times it happens
  2. There is a good chance that if you turn around anyone behind you will look as if they are looking at you because they are already looking in your general direction unless they are walking backwards, and
  3. The act of turning around is likely to cause people to look at you just to see why you are turning around,

(Am I the only one to open this thread expecting a discussion about anuses?)

Hopefully.

I think you had a bad guru.

I didn’t say I was disappointed when my expectations weren’t met! :stuck_out_tongue:

You lookin at me? :dubious:

Never heard of the anus called the “third eye.” Heard “itchy eye.” Then there is this.

“ditto”

:rolleyes:

Yes, although not as much now that I’m an adult as when I was a kid.

It is amazing how many times people ask why we poke holes in their WOO, on a site that’s subtitled “fighting ignorance”:smack:
So, what was up with that precum joke?:eek: Anybody care to explain that one?

Precum is found most commonly issuing from the meatus of the penis during sexual stimulation.
And the penis is sometimes referred to as the “one-eyed trouser snake.”

Also, nobody thinks of their own woo as being based in ignorance (or as being woo).

When I let my finger hover closely over ANY part of my body, I feel that tingling. So I don’t think it has anything to do with the “third eye.”

Maybe trim those nails?!

Or maybe trim that body hair?

Vibrissae even.

I thought I was the only one! I don’t like touching my forehead because of this it hurts my head when I do. I also heard it’s because you can sense things that other people usually can’t but I really don’t know why it does that. When I was young I just told my friends that I can tell what should be next to your forehead and what can go near your forehead Ik stupid.
