I noticed something interesting out of it, it has happened to me on multiple occasions when I like a person I usually turn to look at them in a row, for example in a classroom, and suddenly it seems that that person notices that you are looking at them and turns to look at you. I was curious if other people have the same experience, thank you for your opinion.
I believe its totally fake, but wondering what other people have experienced.
It's called confirmation bias.
Combined with the human hyper sensitivity of being looked at, probably.
I have noticed that it has also happened to me the other way around, basically you go around and it happens automatically, you feel someone looking at you but there is not even any indication of it, not out of the corner of your eye or anything, it has simply happened to me with men and women and my thoughts on that Precise moment varies depending on the circumstance. It can be anything positive or negative. Just before it passes my head automatically turns in the direction of the person who is looking at me, I think it happens when someone concentrates more on their thoughts than on what they are really seeing at that moment.
And I think it's a result of our evolutionary trait of being very sensitive to people looking at us. If we see someone out of the corner of our eye looking at us it alerts us. And if we truly can't see them, we can't tell at all, but checking to see if they're looking at you makes them feel stared at, so they'll look at you back. Is that confusing?
Wikipedia sums it up well. In proper scientific tests, it's fruitless.

Maybe the effect depends on the telepathic level of the person staring at the other person
In my personal case when I stare at someone they look at me after like 5 seconds of doing it.
Thx for the link btw apparently this it's being documented nearly 2017 so it's pretty new, I believe there is something interesting about this.
Maybe my contact was right and this is actually how telepathy works..
You are cherry picking and only acknowledging information that supports telepathy. You are ignoring the evidence against it, which takes majority. Why?
As I replied to other comment here, the person who told me this work for an intelligence agency, first I was sceptical about this just like you, but after I tested it in the field I noticed something relevant, when I do the trick people look at me, and it's not like they see me with the side of their eye, it's more like they feel something in that moment, try it by yourself and let me know your experiences I'm documenting myself about this.
