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.
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.
