I've been getting random bad interactions with strangers when I have my hair down. It's well groomed and everything, but either strangers can't look at me or go out of their way to use me as a joke. This only started happening recently, within the last couple months. I remember I used to get compliments and people were way more comfortable approaching me, now it feels like I smell and I have no idea what happened. I don't watch reels/tik tok anymore and I'm just hoping there isn't some unfortunate meme I'm missing or if long hair specifically isn't in style right now. More context, I'm 24 in northern California, and it's happening in most public spaces, even just on a walk. My weight or style or anything hasn't changed, just how people are looking at me.
