Voyeurism

I think it is safe to say that we are, to some degree, all voyeurs. I wouldn't go around telling people that I was a voyeur, that sounds creepy. I think everyone enjoys people watching and wondering what is going on in other peoples lives. People do it on a daily basis, both consciously and subconsciously. I don't think people are embarassed unless the person they happen to be looking at looks back up at them. The natural reaction is just to look away and act like you weren't just looking at them. We avoid eye contact for fear that they might see us looking at them.
