if ur not a good liar you really should practice with your friends immediately and naturally giving a fake name, fake hometown, job, school major, etc. so when random men hit you up about your fucking memoir on public transit you can give them nothing to be anxious about I’m serious

Having a fallback identity in case of People You Don’t Want To Know Your Name (which includes creeps on public transit, missionaries, Greenpeace, door-to-door salespeople, The person from your past that hasn’t reconized you yet, and that one neighbor), and practicing with your friends and/or significant other is important too, so they don’t blow your cover and so you have a subtle way of telling them you are uncomfortable with this person.

For instance, my Finace knows if I introduce myself as “Anna” something’s wrong and to not contradict me/possibly we will be leaving suddenly.
