I always get mistaken for being gay

It can be quite scary if it’s a group of men/boys as they can be quite aggressive sometimes. One boy was so horrid and threatening that he made me cry as he was saying he was going to hit me.
Maybe it’s how I look as I’m quite slim and dress in nice clothes (I work in a clothes shop so need to be dressed well.)
I’m also friends with more girls than boys so I tend to be with a group of girls if I’m out.

Yes! Indeed, I always thought you were gay on here 🤣

I had to examine why, because I don't think you ever said you were gay.

After consulting my brain, it seems it's the way you have your face positioned; therefore, I come to the conclusion that it may not just be the way you dress. I dress very well and no one ever thinks I'm gay (I'm straight.)

You may move and/or place yourself in female ways/poses/positions. It's not all that uncommon if you were raised by just a single mother and had no strong male role model. It can be especially worse if you had sisters along with just the single mother, essentially being surrounded by just female humans. A young boy can and will subconsciously mimic the women. Again, it's not uncommon.

Also, consistently just hanging around with women is reinforcing the process. You may consider wishing to change this but if not, at least be aware.
