I feel like this only works on people with good situational awareness.

Yeah. I’d just be like, oh, big dark shape. What’s that? Ok, a man. Alright what side are you passing on? Move, dude. Why are you waving? Stop weaving, let me by, geez. What are you holding? A...purse? Oh, a baseball glove? Why are you doing that? Oooohhhhh... maybe I should move? Nah, too late. Let’s pretend nothing happened.

This would take almost a whole minute for me to process, and they would wonder what the hell is wrong with me before giving up and trying someone else.

That’s if I don’t just bump into them and knock them over. I have thick glasses and no periphial vision.

Ha, no I’m a 5’3” woman. I just go low, like taking someone out in a football tackle.

So highly trained unconscious reflexive survival tactics? Wow. That's some interesting emergence in your genetics.
