Resource How to avoid people when I go outside ?

[MrCasella]

Usually there are lots of scary people outside how do I avoid these people outside as much as possible ?

leave at early times of the day / find out when places you're going to are less occupied and their busiest days of the week

have a set plan or objective when you go to these places so then you can get in and out as quickly as possible

leaving early is the best choice to avoid people, late at night can also work but then instead of people going to work u are going to meet drunk people.

3-6 am is usually the best time. It is so calm and quiet.

I like that time but the problem is that nothing is open.

Out of curiosity, what do you need to visit? I usually try to get things delivered not to spend time in shops. But if you need to visit a barber or a dentist, it's difficult (or impossible).

Grocery store

Grocery store

I go as soon as I wake up around 8am. I wear my airpods and avoid eye contact with people. This slows down interactions but it's no guarantee. Some people will still approach you and strike up a conversation. When that happens, I try to help them, be nice and keep moving. If it's after 11am, I refuse to go out. I can't stand the traffic and all those people.

I would also like to add--since you clarified that the destination is the grocery store--that some apps for some grocery stores allow you to list items

if you input your specific grocery store they can also show you what is in stock and out of stock

and sometimes when you add them to your list within the app it will list your items in order from closest to farthest (with the specific aisle) and vice versa which can also save time

If you stare at them they'll usually go out of their way to avoid you.

It's probably best you don't. The more you avoid people the worse your anxiety will get. Take it from me. I have terrible social anxiety. And I have tried to avoid people most of my life.

I don't but I don't like being around most of outside.

the best advice i ever got was "if you look like a problem, you wont get any problems" and it works, ever since ive started walking around looking pissed the fuck off all the time no one ever approaches me anymore hahaha

You can hide behind sunglasses, the brim of a hat or a hoodie.
