Yes. I think, as a woman, walking down the street can be a totally different experience. It also depends on what street :) In a big city it might be overwhelming to honestly greet each person with your attention, while in my home town, it's normal and easy to do so. People smile or say good morning. I find in more open spaces, going for walks of hiking this is also normal. I think we all go through times of being more or less open to our surroundings and each other.

Thank you for sharing this perspective. Yes, I understand. Also, I agree that we all go through times of being more and less open. Lately though, for many years now, I am open in general. I have less fear and have been having more synchronicity and "in the flow" experiences than negative ones. I hope to hear more about your observations.

Thanks for posting the comment and for your honesty. I had forgotten this as a possibility. Lately I've been more in my heart, but I remember and sometimes have had the same experience even recently. I often forget that others can interpret an open, friendly manner as a come-on or something else. Again, thanks. I still believe we need to transform the world though, but I don't have all of the answers as to how obviously.
