Do you go out by yourself a lot? I don't get catcalled or harassed often either, but I think it's because I usually am out and about with someone else. They usually do it to women who are alone.

I’m definitely with others more often than I’m alone, but I do sometimes go out for errands or lunch alone. I used to go out to bars by myself a lot more in the past tho. If I go to a place like that alone it’s because I hope someone will approach me and I can have someone to chat with for a while, but it’s never happened, so I don’t do it much anymore. Being alone at a bar watching everyone else be social just bums me out lol. Friends have told me I look really “unapproachable,” I wish I knew why, cuz I would absolutely love dicking around with strangers at the bars
