Good problem to have compared to feeling helpless, but I appreciate your sensitivity/empathy and know what you mean. People are used to potential threats. Just be kind and personable. If I sense someone is uncomfortable I show a palm, give space, blade your body instead of square up. People like having threats on their side if that makes sense so try to let them know you are.

I act as unthreatening as I can and accept and acknowledge there's little more I can do, personally.

I also try not to worry about it too much, in light of the above.

I don't think that's true, plus if it was I just wouldn't think about it cuz it'd be out my control.

nvm i broke rule 2 with the previous text of this post

Guess I've done it by being as friendly as possible admittedly I do know I tend to come off as a bit of a pushover. Over all I also got :large-adult-son: vibes so that helps. Though I have to really hold back on a lot of parts of myself that might seem threatening like anger or sexuality. Admittedly maybe I'm just second guessing myself sometimes.

Pretend to be incapable in some way.
