One of the things I hate the most about being a man in this world, and especially a middle eastern man

Is that people always tend to view you as a threat. No matter how pure your intentions are and how much effort you're putting for them, they just wouldn't trust you and would always assume bad faith and stab you immediately under the fear that you might stab them...

Why couldn't I just stay a kid forever ugh

Surely not all people see you that way, do they?

Where are you living? Who are the predominant citizens of the area?

Is there anything else about your appearance that might be threatening to some? Are you powerfully built? Do your clothes suggest someone like a gang member or drug pusher? Is there anything in your manner that might seem abrupt, urgent, fast or angry? Do you unconsciously step inside people cultural or personal space? Do you try to flirt with women you don't know or who are not in your social circle?
