Thanks, It is all about being subtle and aware. I really needed to think about how I observe the world and how I might be perceived. A few small changes may be enough.

Your insight is very helpful
It is not my insight. LOL I was just taught that on Thursday. That's what made those few minutes of feedback on the conversational face contact makes all the difference.

Now, I do have to work on the unintentional stare.

But, I do wish you luck. When I am out. I wear a brimmed hat to block the sun, but also blocks most faces out when I tip my head a little. It helps, but I think hiding is not the answer.

There is an issue with observing that confuses me. Living in cities has made me vigilant. I am always looking out for possible threats. One thought is that my "you look dangerous stance" may provoke an attack. Or does it keep me safe.

I have successfully avoided numerous attacks or did I nearly cause the problem.

Should I be safe or sorry?

I have no input as I have the opposite problem. I have no sense of danger.
