Well yesterday i was on the bus and some lady looked at me as if she wanted to hit me or something. i felt like shouting her down, but i didn't, even though i wouldn't have been to blame.

Frankly, it sounds to me like you have to take how strangers react to you a bit less seriously.
If you "felt like shouting her down", I'm sure that came through in your face.
Why? If I am in public, i should be treated with the same respect/dignity as all others are.
What have I done NOT to deserve it, eh?
You may not have deserved it, but you can't control what other people do. That's why I say it's her problem. Maybe that's just the way she looks, or maybe she has her own little circus floating around in her head, who knows. It's not your problem, if you did nothing to her. Don't make it your problem. She's just some stranger on a bus - who cares what she thinks.
If this reaction to you is common (which is unsual; it doesn't happen to everybody), you might want to ask a close friend to tell you frankly what people see in you when they look at you. As hard as it may sound, it is better to confront the truth and make necessary changes than blame others and brush it off as their problem.
I make it an issue since i cannot go anywhere without somebody giving me some kind of scowl, and it pisses me off.
If it's really "anywhere" as you say, you must be venting something noxious into the environment, something that irritates people, anywhere. You may want to identify what exactly is leaking and why, put some duct tape on it. Another way to handle the leakage is to stop making it an issue, it may stop the venting on its tracks or reverse it into venting something sweet-cool-pleasant for a change.
