Is staring always intentional?

Q: Is staring always intentional?

No, staring isn't always intentional. Sometimes, people may stare out of absent-mindedness or distraction. For example, someone might be lost in thought and unintentionally stare in your direction without realizing it. Additionally, people with certain medical conditions, such as autism or ADHD, may have difficulty controlling their gaze and may unintentionally stare at others. However, If a person (medically fit) stares at you more than once/twice, or you always see their eyes fixated on you, they're staring intentionally.
