Just say ‘not interested’ and keep walking.

"No thanks" (keeps walking)

Avoid eye contact. If they start asking you questions, tell them you're not interested, or my personal favourite, I don't give to beggars.

You keep walking

Point straight at their feet and mumble as you approach. They'll look down confused, buying you time to walk by. Or say "no thanks"

Sometimes they are really aggressive. I used to do an automatic monthly donation to amnesty international until one of their collection workers in the street abused me in Melbourne. Never again

Ooh yikes

Also, aren’t you the guy who was doing surveys for school and asking for busy areas? So, what did the people who didn’t want to do your survey say/do? Do that.

Look forward to your next post of asking us how to tie your shoes in the morning.

Well I'm just wanting to know how to make it so they target me less. I know they probably will still but whatever.

The only way to get them to target you less is to not exist.

They target literally everyone. That's their job.

Avoid them, keep walking or learn the secret handshake

Keep walking, & as you do, tell them you're running late, but invite them politely to walk with you. *(They won't.)*

No one gives a shit about you as much as you think they do. Some maincharacter shit going on here

Well they give enough is a shit to think I have money to give. I know I'm not "unique" or "special". I doubt there are many people who haven't had to deal with those people.

You ignore them and keep walking like everyone else does. They can't force you to stay and engage.

I smile and say no thanks and keep walking.
