    Not a chance. I've gotten so good at not even flinching when I hear my name called and just walk away like they are calling someone else. For me to acknowledge a random idiot they need to catch me really fucking up and come at me straight on but I keep a vigilant eye on any movement and can usually evade their time wasting advances.

    Getting over that ingrained fear that people yelling out your name just want to hurt you is difficult.

    I wish. Too many people know me. I can't go hardly anywhere in the lower 48 without running into someone who remembers me. Seemingly always fondly, for some reason.

    I just want to be left alone.

    I should have expected that, lol.

    That's much less invasive than my interactions in person. Frequently they ask about pets or people that died.

    😁

    I'm not much for the small talk either. It's like yeah I saw you over there and I don't think I've seen you since high school, I didn't much care for you then so why on earth would I want to see how things have been. Leave me alone

    I used to own an ice cream shop, and every now and then, someone would recognize me in the grocery store, usually a kid, but not always.

    It was a little weird, ngl.

    "Huh? You know me? Really? Wow I never knew I was that popular. Sorry but I have no clue who you are."
