Why do people stare at my lips when I speak?
I've noticed this so many times even when I am not speaking when someone is speaking to me they legit stare at the lower part of my face, like their eyes go up and down from my eyes to my lips. It's not just a passing glance—it’s very noticeable, almost like their gaze is bouncing up and down.
One time, I had a consultation with a hairdresser, and as she spoke, her eyes kept darting from my eyes to my lips so quickly and repeatedly that it felt robotic and extremely weird. It made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.
And if I am speaking they do the same, mostly looking at my lips.
What’s bothering me more is that I’ve observed these same people speaking to others, and they ONLY look at their eyes, they only do this to me. I honestly can’t remember the last time someone just looked at my eyes when speaking to me.
I can’t figure out why this happens, but it’s made me feel really insecure. I’m even starting to feel like calling people out on it, especially when it’s as obvious and repetitive as it was during that consultation.
What could be possible reasons?

Unless you have extraordinarily unusual lips it’s likely to be wild paranoia.
Not what you want to hear, but people tend to look all over the place when talking and listening and there is almost certainly nothing to it.

Let me say some things and let me know what it potentially may be:
•
I have a very weird accent and a deepish voice for a girl and I don't articulate myself well
•
I look a bit worse when I speak I've noticed compared to if my mouth is closed
•
I have a spotty chin
Could it be one of these?

Maybe it makes it easier to understand you or hear you that way...
Ask a friend or someone who is closer to you and do that... just to get a honest answer and not being awkward or something...

I can’t speak for others but from when I was young I was taught if you can’t look someone in their eyes look at their mouth and I’ve done it my whole life since
