I like to say 'knock knock' to get someone's attention, seems to be a little less starting than a hand on the shoulder.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 5 points 6 days ago

OP is a high level rouge with a CHA dump stat.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 116 points 1 week ago (1 children)

why are you posting empty 4chan screenshots?

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 9 points 6 days ago

what? It wasn't empty. There was, um, something about... hmm I don't remember.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 1 week ago (2 children)

try burping and then saying "oh fuck yeah that's good" as you approach before you get too close. this way they know you're coming and they know what you'll smell like

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And if you can't burp, you can instead fart.

[–] yngmnwntr@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hate fartin and wastin' it, I'd rather burp and be tastin' it!

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

With enough workarounds you can taste your farts as well.

It's also cleverly putting the idea in their head that you smell good.

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 60 points 1 week ago

I think the problem is that

Um

What was I talking about again?

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 52 points 1 week ago

That's some medieval ass logic

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 week ago

I have this too. It's when you move too silent. I just start conversations by saying DO NOT BE AFRAID with the voice in their head. Can recommend.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What have we learned? Anon is boring and wearing soft shoes.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

might also have a problem with walking normally (constantly crouching, making stealth higher)

[–] sporkler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure the axe would make them more noticeable.

Ooor, someone had to "survive" their family's bullshit and being unseen was the best way to do it. Then it became so ingrained in said someone's existential fingerprint, that they're now a ninja without even realising it.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 35 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You don't need some tragic family background to be soulless creature wearing human costume.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 week ago

Yeah, bullying at school works too.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Yeah I'm like this and it's not really a trauma thing for me. I'm just autistic and ADHD which basically means I take advice too seriously and I have a bad habit of getting into someone's field of view or in their way by accident. As a result of being advised to be less visible every time I got in someone's view, I accidentally became invisible. It's something I've been working on lately actually and I've noticed I scare people less often since I started thinking about it

And one day when we flee
From our sweet misery
And shed our human costumes then
Revealing somewhat smaller men
Go off to work and then back again

I have the opposite problem—I’m a strong impression making motherfucker. Strangers consistently approach me to say “you look like [insert famous person].” Acquaintances tell me “I never forgot you.”

And yet, nobody keeps in touch without a lot of effort on my part. I wish I knew how to transition my “I remember you” power into an “I want to be closer to you” power.

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Give him his soul back you monster

Yeah, you're only allowed one soul.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I am like this and do not understand it. Literally the other day a FedEx guy remembered me because he was my brother's friend, another guy said he remembered me from 2nd grade. Neither of them at all familiar to me, and this happens regularly. I could never be a spy. It's not looks, I'm average in looks. This is not a small town either.

[–] 2910000@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A half dozen keychains has the same effect without being quite so odd

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 6 points 1 week ago

Aye!!!! More cowbell!!!

[–] recentSloth43@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He should play basketball with that superpower

[–] SparrowHawk@feddit.it 8 points 1 week ago

Anon no basket

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

They should start wearing juggalo makeup

[–] frog@feddit.uk 17 points 1 week ago

Approach where they can see you in their line of vision but not directly. Approach at a 45 degree angle.

Live SCP, image of anon is a cognitohazard.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I also have weak presence, but I like joking about actually being a ninja

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I call it my 'stealth field,' because I can turn it off. It just defaults to on.

[–] sporkler@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

IDK, since my soul was collected people seem to unconsciously avoid me, and eye contact that lasts for a second would seem long, if he can describe having a conversation I suspect it's something else.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

Very sad when someone innocent gets caught in the range of a false hydra's song

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

i have this attribute… i always figured it was because im on the scary side of tall….
but i also have a thing where at restaurants, the server frequently forgets my order… they’ll get everyone else at the table, but when the food comes, mine isn’t there….
it’s happened so many times i avoid any place with a waiter/waitress….

[–] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

bros a blank

[–] match@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago

You can use this power to be an incredible hypnotist or subtly manipulate people

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Hollowborn !

[–] elvith@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

I can ~~see~~ read posts of dead people!

[–] emberinmoss@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

You just need to wear something bright--doesn't have to happy bright though, could be like a bright green skull on your shirt or something, bright coloured shoes with black attire. Own that spooky vibe. Lean into it. Be proud of it. You're not soulless, just a spooky ghoul and spooky ghouls are great.

The Schwa Was Here

[–] OrderedChaos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I can walk in making noise with my feet or humming and still scare people. I think op just works with people who are deeply engrossed in their thoughts.
