163 | Can You Feel Yourself Being Watched?

What to Expect:

Many swear that they can feel when someone is watching them. There are many subtle cues that might indicate that someone is watching. But what if someone is watching you and you never knew? You’d only know the times when you happened to catch someone? You’re also likely to forget the times you thought you were being watched but weren’t. Nevertheless, we are fairly perceptive and might be able to notice when we are being watched if our viewer is in our peripheral vision. Or maybe we are just vain!
