I was walking and this man greeted me so I greeted him back. After that he tried to engage me in conversation and I said I didn't want to talk,

while I'm walking. He started asking why and when he got no response he said I was a bad person and that women from my neighbourhood are stuck up. I knew he was trying to bait me into a conversation but I just kept walking like I couldn't hear a word he was saying. Eventually he gave up and walked away. No one owes anyone a conversation. Existing outside isn't a conversational prompt. I didn't leave my house to talk to a random entitled stranger. I left to get weed and food😂.

Carry your car keys in your hand. With the key pointing out. This was recommended by a police person talking to a group of students. Use it on the neck in self defence. Hope you never have to.
Not illegal in the uk.

I do that from time to time in a dubious street. A precaution yes. But I feel safer.

Walking alone for a man is not too bad, and I can run, But for a woman you have to be so careful.
Totally agree with you. You don't owe anything to people who you don't know that have done nothing for you and who are of unknown character. Basic courtesy can be given if chosen but that does not mean entertaining a conversation.

You're absolutely right, you didn't owe him a damn cent of interaction that you didn't want to provide. Wanting to be left alone isn't being stuck up. It's quite the opposite actually....he was stuck up for thinking your attention was a requirement.
The points you've made in this post echoed what I've thought before.

A cop, lives in my building; teaching me that 1000 yard stare. Very unsettling in situations like this.

@Punxi don't people look like ants from a thousand yards away?
