Apparently that is what you choose to believe.

There is a difference between being scared of taking photos of random strangers versus actually doing it. I would mark you as the former... you're just scared.

Nobody cares. At most they will be slightly annoyed, but ultimately they forget about it in a minute. A lot of people (like you) are just scared of this slight annoyance, your mind over blows it and your behavior becomes controlled by every small thought other people think of you.

Even in countries where it's not culturally appropriate. Often they're just annoyed because of culture, because they grew up and were taught that it's impolite to take pictures. They aren't in actuality annoyed because nothing really happened... and they forget about it quick. Stop being scared, and stop accusing me of choosing to believe things.

Again you have stated personal belief as if it were fact.

No I stated a fact constructed from logic, common sense and plenty of evidence.

Your accusation is the one that is baseless. Sorry for that.
