PAs others mentioned, it’s most likely you have trauma and it shows in your face which attracts predatory men. I say this because I myself have suffered past trauma and I attract assholes.
This sounds a little too corny or advice anyone and everyone gives, but I tried these and it helps,1. Meditation. The reason for recommending mediation, is that it will create a space between ourselves and our mind and it’s incredibly helpful to view our thoughts objectively. It’s like having a great friend within ourself who has better judgement and better ways to handle things.
2. Journaling your experience in a notebook (even digital like penzu or something helps). The reason to do this is because when you write things down your emotions from the mid or lower (lizard) brain is transferred to the prefrontal Cortex (problem-solving part of brain). Which helps us process emotions better, solve them and also provides you a way to vent out.
3. Music (I listen to calm happy music before sleep, like coldplay)
4. Exercise.
5. Going to the temple. I highly recommend meditating in jeeva samadhis, I try to do this atleast once a week. It’s incredibly helpful than all of the above.
6. Reading books or watching long podcasts from people like naval ravikant etc.
Although these are my personal go to things when things go wrong, I would still suggest you to take professional help.
I would also recommend going out at times (like early mornings) and places that are most likely to not be predatory like temples, libraries, restaurants with friends etc. if it’s really about appearances then change hairstyle etc.
Also try to reduce screen time especially doom scrolling in instagram or any social media.As one of them already mentioned, wearing a mask, changing location or gym are good ideas too.
Take care buddy,
Things will get better if we work on them.
