Question

Is 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 Answer

Normally 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).

Question

Are there more severe ways to creep people out that you can suggest?

Community Answer

These 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.

Question

Why would I want to do this?

Community Answer

Because sometimes there are people who just aren't compatible with us or do things to annoy us, and being nice to them or telling them about it doesn't always help. They would either get offended or simply not understand that they're invading one's personal space. In essence, you do what you gotta do to send a message to them.

Question

Would saying: "I wonder what you taste like..." while going cross-eyed creep someone out?

Community Answer

If you go cross-eyed they might think you are just trying to be funny. To creep them out, stare them dead in the eye and say that in a way that sounds like you’re actually considering it. Keep in mind that someone may take this the wrong way and accuse you of sexual harassment.

Can I just say “See you soon” to a stranger?

Question

What do I do if someone isn't creeped out when I try to creep them out?

Community Answer

Try a different tactic. Not everybody is creeped out by the exact same things. Don't go overboard, though. If someone seems really uncomfortable or frightened by what you're doing at any given time, stop doing it.

Community Answer

You can just tell them it was a joke or keep hanging out with them and just be normal. If that doesn't work, you can always apologize.
