how does not talking to normies make things worse for myself and everyone else? in my experience it usually negates harassment/conflict.

they tend to either leave you alone or throw a fit, which you're not obligated to do anything about. Sometimes it's funny and they'll try to convince some poor manager to make you talk to them, as if you work there or something. replace coffee shop with grocery store, park, etc, it doesnt matter. People will always want to make you give up your own time and energy to explain to them why you're such a weirdo freak as a tax for existing differently, but a simple no is always an option, and attempting to explain your fashion to the average braindead normie is a waste of time.They'll only absorb half of what you say and then mouthbreathe it to the next weirdo they see so they feel smart.
