so true

I don't, I like watching people bumping into them
I hold open to the door for everyone when it's convenient!
I do so only when it is inconvenient, while maintaining eye contact and looking like I'm in a hurry, and the approaching person could hurry it up a bit.
When they said "be the change you want to see in the world", this is not what they meant.

I believe I opened a door last week!
Oh, wow!
Only once. Then I leave them open forevermore. Then I don't have to degrade myself with the process again.
We sort of just let ourselves get a boner and use it to push the door open now.
One time, I arrived at a small store as an employee was finishing their smoke break, exchanged friendly words as we both went towards the door. In that moment, I realized that if I open the door, it'll be right in his way and I paused, unsure about how to handle it. He ended up opening it for me, but the whole thing felt awkward as fuck, like my pause was because I was waiting for him to open it for me. Easily the worst door opening experience I've ever had. I'm a dude btw.
I'll never hold the door unless it's a public building, they're close enough that I wouldn't need to hold it for long, and they aren't a woman within 10 years of my age. My anxiety can't risk me being seen as a creep so I don't want someone to think I'm holding the door for them cause I'm attracted to them or anything like that.
