Was in this position walking down a dark highway to the bus stop at like 10pm. I'm a big guy so usually if I'm worried about seeming like I'm creeping up on a woman when I'm trying to pass her I'll cross the road or something, but I couldn't really dash over the highway. We were also both walking to the last bus and I didn't wanna do the 8ish mile walk home in the middle of the night so I couldn't hang too far back. Every time I tried to speed up a little bit to pass her she kept moving faster and I wish I could have just said "I'm sorry, I'm not chasing you, I'm just trying to pass you to be polite" without sounding like a psycho.
I was stoned and walking a few meters behind a woman who I'd thought saw me when we both turned onto the block, and she turned around and let out a solid yelp with panic in her eyes at my oblivious ass. I usually try and be conscious of such situations, but since it was in broad daylight near a busy street and all I didn't think we'd have an issue idk. Mildly humorous, but I do feel bad, and I can only imagine that she has had some sort of previous experience that put her on edge (at the same time, I really hope it's not due to true-crime/"everything is a sex trafficking scheme" brainworms, but I would doubt it)

about that….
:epstein:
Yeah I wonder if women would have a reason to disproportionately take up a hobby interest in studying violent crime 🧐
no no our fragile brains are just propagandized by Big Podcast
Lady brains actually form a hive mind of sorts. Ergo their fear is systemic
Idk, if someone said that to me I'd probably appreciate it. I'd think it was weird... but that's just because that behavior hasn't been normalized.
