    I get this a lot as a tall person:

    “You startled me!”

    “Yeah I tend to have that effect on people.”

      As someone with a broken anxiety response, you could be a gentle sloth and still startle me

      As a tall person, I quiet my footsteps when approaching someone because I get a kick out of startling people.

      My favorite is when I enter a room as someone who was in there alone is walking away from the door, so that by the time they reach the other side and turn around, I’m right behind them.
