How do you protect yourself?

Sometime's I'm deliberately weird at people, it makes them go away usually, sometimes they get hostile or even aggressive, but on the whole if people think you're mad, they believe that you're unpredictable and might do something painful to them. 

I hate the idea that other people are tapping into my energy or identity. Its best to keep them on their toes. 

Do you mean that you feel surrounded by energy vampires? If so, the concentrate on making yourself taste bad, if I'm around an energy vampire I concentrate on emitting an "energy smell" like the bottom of a bin on a hot day, they soon go away then.

Pietro, I'm uncomfortable with this extreme Christian stuff, so I will be leaving this conversation.

I mean the double standard that if men behave that way they are castigated. Its a loophole open to exploitation (by satan ;).

Whats Satan's horn? 

Sometimes jostling on place like trains is unavoidable.

I’ve had women rubbing themselves up against me on trains I am not really a fan of this. In the past I have received quite a lot of female misogyny, which I see as women holding Satans horn. When women think all men are the same that is the end of the world.

I’ve always seen myself as a pacifist (any kind of unwanted contact is violence, I would definitely refuse to go to war. I’m quite street wise, I wouldn’t class myself as working class but if someone is confrontational I can give it back. 

I don't mind being touched, it depends on who, when and why, if someone jostles me me first thought is, "Are my bag and purse safe?" Obviously there are some people who stand to close on purpose as a means of intimidation, I've taken to doing what my Mum does and swingling round sharply with a slightly extended elbow and then appologising for hurting them.

I avoid being in crowded places, so I don't get to much aggravation, although I do get quite a few comments, like short old men calling me Sir, even though it's obvious I'm female. I was talking to a lady in the local shop who's a bit taller than me and she gets it too, there's quite a bit of hostility towards tall women.

I suppose one advantage of my working class background is that I learnt to answer back early and very well, I'm not easily physically intimidated either.
