I like to stand out as long as it is not in a negative way.
Sensitive people will always feel stared at. Some people will feel fine in their hometown, but in Japan they assume they will be "stared at" and therefore they feel "stared at". That is called paranoia. Trust me, in populated areas of Japan, no one over the age of 5 is staring at anybody.
