A woman just came up and started saying stuff to me, I said no a million times but she assumed I didn’t understand and grabbed my leg & shoulder to demonstrate that she was a masseuse. I had not understood, but she left when I glared, real mean, and said “No”. I felt bad and guilty, but I do not want to be touched, thank you. When I take off my shirt it looks like I am wearing a second bright red shirt underneath.
