Me: exist without an extensive list of precautions.
Women: oh no!
But to be honest, I’ve stopped looking at people at all because this costs me so much energy and at some time I just gave up. If this makes me look like a threat then I’m sorry.
It isn’t an extensive list, I just explained it with examples to avoid being too vague. It is just two things:
Don’t focus too much or actively ignore other people.
Mind your own business unless they start a conversation and don’t force it to continue.
Worrying too much about how others see you to the point that you are uncomfortable will make others uncomfortable. If you can be comfortable with yourself others will be more likely to feel comfortable around you.
Honestly my being an introvert with ADHD makes noticing people but not paying too much attention easy because I’m thinking about something else and am not looking for a conversation anyway! Threads like this and talking to women I know in person about what they find creepy is how I found out it is the least threatening way to act. Just got lucky tbh.
I’m an introvert as in focused internally on my own thoughts. I don’t have social anxiety and am comfortable talking to strangers if they start the conversation.

AUDHD: “Let’s create a huge problem where none needs to exist, ok?”
