-
Stare. Maintain eye contact for uncomfortably long periods without moving your eyes away from theirs. Do it in weird positions, like from the side, or peeking under your elbow to stare at the person behind you. Make them feel like you're mad at them or there is something wrong with them like messy hair or they have food on their face. -
Use your body posture to indicate unwelcome interest levels. Angle your body so that your feet and shoulders are pointed directly towards the person you are focusing on creeping out.Advertisement -
Talk about weird things that people feel uncomfortable with, violate social boundaries, or even grossed out by. Like, "Oh, yeah. My feet are freaking stinky when I get home. Yeah, want to smell?", or "Wanna smell my breath?" while opening your mouth widely and looking at them. Talk about odd topics, like, Making mini golf windmills is a hobby of mine! You should try it sometime. It makes you look better. -
Run hot and cold. If they still haven't backed off, suddenly become moody, upset, or even angry at their lack of investment in the conversation. Like, "I hate myself and you probably hate me, too. I bet you're just trying to be "nice" to me." using annoying air quotes, "Everyone lies to me. What are you lying to me about?" or other questions that are impossible to answer. -
Act like a nerd! Ape everything that they do until it becomes frustrating. Exaggerate their facial and body movements. Mimic their voice for emphasis. "-snort- I just got the new World of Warcraft game. I only played for like 18 hours straight, so I'm only level 79 so far. -snort-" or "-pushes glasses up- Yeah, I have 9 skillcapes. I only spent like 80 mil on Construction, and 20 mil on Magic. I'm so pro, -nerd laugh-" Let them know how ridiculous they seem to you. -
Sound like a stalker. If you've just met the person, you can say something like, "That Facebook post about (something weird like their mom's pregnancy) was so cool!" Make sure that the post was from a long time ago. This is guaranteed to scare them off.

QuestionIs there anything special I could do with my face, like looking at the person I want to creep out with crossed eyes or something like that?Community AnswerNormally what I do is tilt my head downward so that there's a shadow over my eyes, and either smile or make wide eyes (not too wide, just wide enough so that you look a little dead inside).

QuestionCan I creep people out by staring at them and drooling?Community AnswerYes, that would probably creep people out.

QuestionAre there more severe ways to creep people out that you can suggest?Community AnswerThese might work: 1. Track and stare with your eyes directly at their face in a straight posture, kind of like a tiger stalking its prey, except you want to look as emotionless as possible. 2. Be the first one to like or dislike or watch their social media content, I know many people who hate this and block the person doing it. 3. This takes dedication, but whenever you see the person, walk up to them and say a phrase that has no meaning, then jog - don't run or walk - away. If you say the exact same phrase every time, then they will definitely find you weird.
