if ur not a good liar you really should practice with your friends immediately and naturally giving a fake name, fake hometown, job, school major, etc. so when random men hit you up about your fucking memoir on public transit you can give them nothing to be anxious about I’m serious
it really deescalates the entire memory for you like. if some dude on the bus tries to get you to open up on ur morning commute and you give him a fake name at LEAST, later you get to laugh about it and forget about him.
