Topic: I don’t know what it is about me

I’ve got no clue what it is about me, but for some reason people see me as non-threatening even though I’m a black dude. I think certain men are scared that some woman might accuse them of something. But I’m actually pretty confident if someone said I stole something or if someone said I touched them, the response would be, "I feel like he probably didn’t do that." It’s just not believable that I would be a threatening person. I mean for one, I don’t think a rape allegation against me would seem credible because I don’t think a sex allegation against me would seem very credible. "So you’re saying that that guy has sex. Are you sure about that?" Like the type of lifestyle I live, it’s just not believable. I’m not even worried about it. Maybe for some other guys, they have their reasons or whatever, I won’t judge. All I’m saying is, if a building blew up somewhere and my face was up on the news, everybody would be like, "Huh. That doesn’t look like the right guy." I swear one time last year there was this train station I would be in often and I’d see the guards harass everybody and get in shouting matches with random homeless people / accuse random black people of being homeless who weren’t actually homeless. I saw them harass everybody from old dudes to little kids. And I was just sitting there, and eventually I started thinking, "It’s interesting that they question everybody else except me." I just don’t know what it is.

And the thing about these people is, they won’t tell the truth necessarily… but they will say something that sounds moderately reasonable and non-controversial no matter what question you ask them or just say "I don’t know" if they don’t think of a response within 10 seconds. So you won’t know what they’re thinking necessarily, but you always know they’re going to do the less extreme more reasonable calm thing. And that’s not something to be worried about.

People who blurt out what they actually think though, now that’s scary. Those are people who start arguments with random people.

You're over thinking it but I do the same. I'm seriously worried people are going to take me to court and are out for paydays. Then I tell myself it costs them the $30 (or whatever it is) to file at the courthouse... most people won't open their wallet for nonsense a judge will throw out.
