I've had a few women scream at me for opening doors for them and I was embarrassed because people started staring. I was just trying to be nice but lesson learned. I haven't opened a door for a woman since.
Does the word "INSECURE" come to mind? If a woman screams at you then of course she has a huge issue.

I really wish I was but I'm not. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder whenever I post Liberty. Do you not like me? not that I care what you think of me.
Don't read into it too much OP. Maybe some think you are hitting on them and letting you know. But my guess is most are just talking about who is important in their lives because that's what people do.
Agreed!
I thought the same slightly paranoid thing as the OP awhile back when I was brand new to dating after a very long term relationship. I wasn't use to having personal conversations 1:1 with men. I had been isolated from that. So when I enjoyed talking to one and he would bring up: "well my wife likes" or "when my girlfriend and I" it made me feel like they mistook my interest for flirting. I would reexamine the conversation and wonder what I was doing that made them bring up their significant other...
As I became more experienced with communications I realized female friends brought up their significant other as well, because their s/o was a meaningful part of their life, not because they thought I was hitting on them

If you don't want to hold doors, don't. It's a personal choice. But I can guarantee that people weren't staring at you, the kind man holding a door. They were looking at the raving lunatic who can't communicate without screaming thinking she was a nut.

No, women have NOT "screamed" at you several times and caused a scene simply because you held a door open for them and allowed them to go first.
The fact that you use that as an excuse to never again open a door for a woman, even for your own mother, is a bit of an overreaction, though, yes?
I feel like you must be giving off some sort of vibe that makes them think you're interested. I don't know you so I can't say what it is. Although you feel you're being platonic and nice, it could be the topics you're bringing up, the way you're looking at them, how closely you're leaning in...only you will know what it is.
You'll need to make an honest assessment of your interactions with these women, because if it's happening regularly, something's up. The fact is that these are all different women - you're the common denominator.
I agree with this, especially the part I bolded.
OP, I get the impression that you interact with women noticeably differently than you do with other guys. Don't do that. If you're truly not interested in these women then interact with them in a similar way that you interact with a colleague, acquaintance or stranger....both men and women. That also applies to whatever body language you're presenting.
I also find it odd that you're "offended" by them mentioning that they have a significant other. First of all, you're taking this too personally. Please face reality...the majority of adults are in relationships or at least have something intimate/sexual going on in their lives. Get used to that. Secondly, it makes no sense to be bothered by these women revealing that they have partners if you're genuinely not interested in them...I mean why would you care?
Perhaps deep down or subconsciously...you actually are attracted to them.
And your decision to "avoid" women (which seems easier said than done IMO) is quite telling. Women will likely now think that you're even more of a weirdo.

Good thing you edited your post to add in that last line. You have admitted in other threads that you exaggerate and you post very inconsistently. No one likes a liar, especially doing so for effect.
