I do not mean to trivialize what you go through in any way, but to indicate that I understand and have sympathy.

The main thing that I go through is other's perception that I am physically or emotionally intimidating. And once in a while I've made women scream through no intention of mine. I guess this is the opposite of what is happening to you, but be assured that it gets old.

You'd be well-advised to stop doing it, that being the case.
