I constantly feel uncomfortable and scared walking alone, walking my dog, and stopping at red lights. I avoid eye contact and walk away but I wish I could tell them what they are doing is harassment. It takes a toll on how comfortable and safe I feel in public. Always being whistled at and hit on makes me feel very uncomfortable.
