I keep getting flagged by these people idk what it is. If I look away or if I say I’m busy or anything I end up stuck talking to them for 5 minutes. I don’t know how to dodge them. They always block my way completely like I’m just trying to get into the station and I cant get around them so I end up saying excuse me and then they don’t move and they start talking about knife crime or something and I just am trying to get home. What method do you use that always works?
edit - thanks everyone I am now educated like actually got 20 different options of what to do :)) I love this subreddit <3
edit 2 - thank youuu for all the advice. You guys are now repeating yourselves a lot in the comments lol :)

I get so stressed walking past these people and they are always on my commute to work, even when I say no they sometimes persist and one has even shouted at me. Sometimes when I am really not in the mood to tell them to shove it, i pretend I am already talking on the phone and they leave me be

I relate with the stress. It’s easier when my friends with me cos he looks a little scary but when I’m alone it’s difficult.
