When I was 16 I was on the bus, reading and with headphones on. A random grown up man wouldn’t stop talking to me and pestered me to give him my number. I felt pressured and gave him a fake number and then he said I was racist for not wanting to give him my real number (he wasn’t white). And for the longest time I believed him that I was in fact racially biased and felt bad, and only after a while realized I was just a teenage girl being pestered by an adult man and reacted naturally.

Jesus, your story gave me the chills. Crisis have been avoided luckily.
Jesus, that is horrible.
That’s harassment
I would’ve called the cops. Then again, it is easy to struggle in the moment
