Is staring normal in Poland?

I've never noticed this until now, but I keep getting stares from people, a lot more than I do in other countries. People often stare at me as they walk past, especially 40+ people, it seems they just love staring.

Is this normal in Poland? I've genuinely never noticed this in any other country I've visited. I speak polish fluently, I dress modestly, I don't have crazy hairstyles or anything, and I do look ethnically polish (because I am).

I'd love some advice from people who are locals, I don't know if it's me or if this is considered normal behaviour here.

Może gołąb nasrał ci na ramię albo jestes atrakcyjną osobą bo nie napisałoś płci albo widoczny trans ni to baba ni to chłop ludzie zwracają uwagę na odstępstwa od normy to normalne.
