I'm getting funny looks
Or "I've been getting funny looks".
The passive sounds better to me, but you could also say "They are/have been giving me a funny look".

They’re looking sideways at me.
The presence of “agora” in the source text indicates an action that’s taking place at the moment of speaking. Thus, the present continuous is required. “We can also use this tense for other kinds of temporary situations, even if the action isn't happening at this moment.” (Perfect English Grammar website)
“Now they’re also looking sideways at me.”
