I have that "problem" too! And I don't encourage kids to talk to me either. But I get the stares, and the careful little "hello". Parents get embarassed and apologize quite often. I have no clue why this is, maybe because I am a small woman and they don't find me threatening. Or I just look like a freak...

It causes a lot of jokes with my friends and family because I don't really like other people's children. I don't encourage them. I don't smile at them. I don't want them around me, yet here they all come.
I'm a magnet for people I've been living on my own for almost two years, and often I go this this bar & grill restaurant in town, well people are drawn to me like bees to honey, amazing I tell you.
My one friend the hunk bartender who works there said people tend to be attracted to me because I look like I have a story to tell, people will tell me all of their business which is interesting seeing as these are white folks and I happen to be a young black woman.
One woman whom I met at the bar, grew very attached to me, whenever I would get up to go somewhere (had an upset stomach) she would ask if I was leaving yet.
Then when I was leaving for the night, while talking to my one friend she came out of the place as if looking for me, then found me and hugged me tight.
Many people tell me they enjoy my company, that being near me makes them feel safe, plus some people try to entertain me by trying to make me laugh or really want to get to know me.
Yet to me I'm just being me, I'm not doing anything special just trying to blend in but noooo they find me haha!
I've had very interesting experiences with this.
I'm secretive, guarded, and although polite, I'm not open towards other people, so most people ignore me or are somewhat cold towards me. That's fine.
