It annoys me so much when sales people harass me on the street, I wish we had a way to "blacklist" ourselves from getting approached by these people like they have with calls and door-to-door visitors. What annoys me the most about it is that I genuinely enjoyed meeting strangers and talking to them despite my limited social skills, but I barely met any of those people and it has affected my trust so much that for example this one time that an elderly man genuinely showed interest as he was curious about my hair rather than trying to sell me something or ask for cigarettes (my other issue with strangers) and I initially ignored the man due to those previous experiences.

On one hand I try to be open minded because maybe I'm being approached by a street photographer or something, but come one someone overly confidently approaching you like they know you when they don't is so weird to me, especially when they greet you with "Yooo what's up?" or "Can I ask you something?" rather than greeting you by your name or "Aren't you from...?" and these things rarely apply to me because as much as I've been trying my best, I haven't done anything worth recognising me in public for throughout the past five years.

Really miss meeting new people, though. I don't know if I just started to look to "gross" or scary/intimidating due to me having a fluffy beard now that's hard to properly maintain with my hair type, making it quick to give the illusion that I might be homeless or poorly take care of my appearance as I don't want to shave off my beard. I've been trying to smile more in public and be polite, reading a book about making friends, but it's been tough getting my pre-pandemic extroversion back now that everything has become so remote and isolated where I'm spending much more time alone at home than I would like (I want to go places but traveling has become so expensive) need to find a "third place" in my hometown to make new friends.
