What's the Deal With Staring?

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating psychology of staring, exploring why humans have such a powerful response to being looked at and why it's considered universally rude. They examine everything from how cereal box characters are designed to lock eyes with kids, to whether you can actually feel when someone's staring at you from behind, covering studies on "scopesthesia" and the evolutionary reasons behind our gaze detection abilities. The hosts also discuss how different cultures view staring and share some surprising research on the physical effects of being watched.
