I’m a large man that sometimes sports a mohawk. I’ll be honest I sometimes look like a Batman goon or something.

I try so hard to not freak people out. I had a lady literally run to her car away from me once because it was night time in a parking lot.

No idea what to do about it lmao, I feel awful when it happens.

As someone who grew up in the scene, the mohawk/punk look puts me at ease but yeah I’m not most people

Recently I’ve started calling my girlfriend or another friend and chatting with them til I reach my destination. Alternatively I’ll play music on my phone speaker, whistle, do something to make a noticeable amount of noise. Talking with someone is ideal though.

Seconding the talking approach. Makes it clear you’re there and can also be reassuring without trying to directly communicate with someone just walking home.
