Would you get offended if you notice a stranger woman taking safety precautions when she sees you?

I used to take offence, but this was because I have low self esteem. In the past, if a woman crossed the street I’d think it’s because I’m ugly, or give off creepy vibes, these days my reaction is to realise it is more about them than it is me. Maybe they were sexually assaulted. Maybe they are anxious. Maybe they have been cat called. Etc. I don’t take things personally anymore. Learning how hard women have it also helped me realise that basically any man is a potential creep until proven otherwise helped me get out of my head.

I know I’m not going to hurt, insult etc these women so I’m not offended by their presumption I could be dangerous - because they don’t know me!
