Go to Japan. Apparently it is considered rude to look at people so people all go around not looking at each other. You’ll never feel more alone!
And if you're foreign you'll be perceived even less than the locals because they just generally don't like you.
But if looking is rude, you might get looked at more because they dislike you, right?

??? It is not rude to look at people in Japan. Anymore so than it is elsewhere in the world.
To look people in the eyes
Is it socially acceptable to stare at people in the eyes anywhere? I genuinely don't understand.
Stare? What?
Where I’m from people look at each other and say hi as they pass on the sidewalk.
