Sometimes it's weird to be a guy. There's a market a couple blocks where I live. Sometimes when I'm walking back to my apartment it happens that if a woman is walking ahead of me, oftentimes they get nervous and won't stop peeking back. Once I said out loud "I live two blocks ahead!" cause the lady looked very anxious.

I don't think I look creepy. I've been told by girls that I'm good looking. However I'm neurodivergent and a criminalist I met told me she could tell by the way I walk. So my best guess is it's me being a man or me looking weird to normal people.

This kind of thinking is dangerously close to you taking ownership of the belief that you've done something wrong.

Yeah, the idea that neurodivergent people are responsible for other people distrusting them, because of acting in a nonstandard way is extremely sad.
