  • I’m physically quite large, but most people will outrun me for medical reasons, but you can’t tell just by looking at me. It wasn’t until #metoo that I considered what it might be like to walk on the street and be afraid for your safety all the time.

    My partner shared a few historic experiences which made me want to throw up.

    I’ve read the responses here so far and I’ve done similar things for the same reasons, noise, humming, nodding, etc… I’ll also cross the road if I think my presence might make someone feel uncomfortable, or if I feel uncomfortable.

    I have also walked off a footpath onto the verge to give the person coming towards me, space to move.

    I’d be interested to hear what that feels like for people who are experiencing this kind of interaction.
