To those who have selective mutism or are quiet, do you find that others 'bully' you when you're outside? How do you handle it?
Examples: purposefully cutting across your pathway of walking just to get you to stop walking so that they pass or "have right of way" - - suddenly coughing in your general direction when they weren't coughing before you were there - - bus drivers stopping the bus just short/far of where you were standing, or stopping at where others are standing, when you were standing in a spot where the buses usually stop before - - knocking against the back of your seat on the bus/tram - - in a supermarket, reaching over for items that they never intended to pick up and buy anyway, they just wanted you to move from the spot you were comfortable standing in, for the sake of it
