So here I am, walking down the sidewalk, minding my own business...

To the OP: Are you really really ugly?

Well, he doesn't have to be. I mean, I used to ward people off in the past as well. I used to have long hair and walk with my head down seemingly in thought always, hence giving the look of a depressed geek or something. Now I have shaved my hair (yes, shaved

), switched from baggy to tight clothes and work out at home which has given me an overall good feeling about myself. And you know what they say, if you feel good about yourself, you shine out and give the same impression to everyone around you. And believe me, it does work lads.

Eh, well, depends on how you look, certain types like skinheads and punks can get angry at you just for looking at them longer than one or two seconds. Hasn't happened to me lately but I came across some very angry people on the street when I was younger. I try not to stare at people who look a bit extremist(left or right, doesn't matter) nowadays, but I do not remember crossing the street because of them, I just try to avoid provocation and that's it, if they want trouble anyway, well, I can fight, too, for a second at least, I hope.

I do know that my mom may cross the street if someone has a huge dog or so though.

To make a judgement in your particular case we would need a picture of your very self, Metuselah.
If noone replies anymore after you posted one, we're probably too afraid.

I'm the kind of person who crosses the road when I see someone vaguely threatening...

Yeah I'm a coward

Why would I be walking? There are such things as cars (not that I do the driving...)

Somebody else does the driving right? I guess you wouldn't want to walk because somebody else may get in your way

I often wonder to myself if a see a gang hanging around on some street corner, but i have adopted the policy of i am older than them so thier not intrested, and its pretty true, it was only nerve wracking back when i was younger because i was a similar age to the 'kids' hanging on the street corners..

I don't really intimidate often, occasionally whilst walking down the street head slightly bowed and hood up i think one or two older people were intimidated, i think these are the kind of people to be intimidated by anything bigger than a 3 year old girl...

I suppose it depends what you look like meth, if your some 7ft skinhead whose shoulders come out 3ft each way then it wouldn't much suprise me, i wouldn't move out your way but even i would feel a little cautious...
