        Odd but harmless are usually my favorite kind of people to call friends. Keep being you

            Yah. At 6’2” I get people a bit scared of me… and then we talk. It can be a kind of entertaining turn of interaction, especially with kids.

              I’m actually not very physically intimidating. I’m just shy of 6’ and have a few tattoos, which scares a few older white women if they’re not paying attention. But I’m also chronically underweight (never been above 170lbs even when I was pounding 4 heavy meals a day and mass gainer between) and all of my tattoos are cartoons and trees and hearts and the likes.

              I like to think that people tell me that I’m mentally intimidating but I’m not certain because every time I ask why I’m intimidating they say they’re not sure. Just “my aura” or whatever

    Are these British or Canadian aliens, perhaps, or is apologising to inanimate objects and people who walk in to you more universal?

      Merkin here: I apologize to things and also say thanks to digital assistants. It is just polite, I suppose.
