Where are you getting "don't look at me"? This is a wilful misreading.

People can look at other people in public, though it's generally considered rude to stare. Repeatedly trying to catch someone's eye when they are declining that initial social contact, then further insisting on getting into their space and speaking to them and demanding a response when they also have both headphones in AND are avoiding your initial attempts at eye contact, is very badly misreading the social cues they are giving you.

There are generally plenty of people around open to interaction at any given time. Why force interaction on people who are telling you "no thanks"?
