This is a joke

I had the weirdest thing happen to me the other day. I was at the school cafeteria and I sat down to eat. I started eating then i noticed a girl point at me and i heard “she other there” a group of people looked at me while she looked at me away to point. I was so confused while all the faces turned to me. I couldn’t see far without my glasses so I didn’t know if it was about me. Everyone was looking at my way then they all looked away as I stared at me. The girl who pointed at me looked familiar so I stared at her purple hair but i thought of one person but i couldn’t tell. As I was thinking about what happened I saw one person walk to the other side of the room. What is strange is this is this has happened before where I can’t tell what happened bc I couldn’t see. This is scary and makes me anxious as this situation could go different ways if I could see. I think little chances of things happening like that. If I did this instead of this makes me crazy and makes me overthink what could happen. I was put into multiple situations where I could have been in danger if I read the situation wrong or what if I did something different. This makes my days feel transparent and I want to run away to start over. What the helly

I think not being able to see other people's expressions would be scary.  I'd be in the same situation without glasses.  It's a bit disconcerting to hear someone say, "here they come," or "that's who it was."  Another anxious feeling occurs when people stop talking when you walk into a room.  

Being pointed out by someone in a group isn't necessarily a negative thing.  There's an equal or greater chance of it being positive. Often people feel proud when they can claim familiarity with others, even if it's only knowing a bit of information about them.  

More often than not, small groups go silent for a moment or two when a new person enters their proximity.  I think the main reason that happens is so the individuals in the group can try and sense the mood or attitude of the new person entering.  

One thing I've noticed, whether it's a positive or negative reception from others in such situations, typically their attention spans are quite limited, and they soon forget about you and start focusing on something else.  

Finally, if someone's looking at you for the purpose of judgment, they've automatically disqualified the value of their opinion, and the best reaction is to remain serenely unaffected.

This person pointing at me was possibly someone I knew. She had made my life worse by distancing herself from me when I didn’t know and all I wanted was a friend. I knew her since 5th grade and her turning on me was a stabbing. I don’t know why she did what she did but I have avoided all places that reminded me of her. To keep me from rage I kept to my own place but if she was actively putting me down it becomes infuriating. This is something I don’t want to explode over bc I saw how she becomes a hater for something so inconvenient that it was embarrassing. I want to try to prove that she’s a bad person but I don’t know how I could convince myself that someone I called friend can only call me stranger. I tired keeping places free from bad memories but they keep on boiling to the surface.

I don't think it'll help to "prove" she's a bad person.  Also, kids go through a lot of changes as they go through adolescence and young adulthood.  It's not unusual for shallow and badly behaving kids to develop into really decent people in a few years. Sadly, some times it works the other way around.  It's also common for misunderstandings and wrong interpretation of body language to occur when young.  It's not only just young people who have that happen to them either.  For example, a neutral expression may be taken as hostile when the observation is being made by someone who's not feeling well, insecure or just in a bad mood.  We may feel ignored when it's not the other person's intention, if they're just preoccupied with other thoughts or problems.  

Consider also, since wisdom and emotional intelligence often occurs quickly when young, the person you know at the moment, may be quite a different person in six months.  In that case, holding on to anger means remaining upset with a person that no longer exists.  

A lot of adults, even the elderly fail to understand what I'm explaining here, so if you do understand it, you'll be more socially advanced than many of your peers.
