Carry a pocket notepad and pen. When confronted take it out and start asking them questions to weird them out. Write down everything they’re saying, like a reporter or a detective. You can take that a hundred directions. Personal information to make them nervous, their political views, mask science, where they suggest buying a mask. You can be weird and overly-friendly/ sociopathic, confrontational, whatever you feel like at the moment.
Adopt a character for the interaction. Don’t be you defending yourself: that’s hard. Be an actor, be a made up person. Play a part. This is creative and fun. Psychologically you have no horse in the race; this will give you confidence. It’s like a father becoming Protective Dad if his kid is under threat. He’s not himself, he’s donning that persona to defend a loved one. It’s not about him, it’s about the cause of defending another. It’s a heroic act. Do the same thing, to defend yourself. It is easier to control the narrative, it’s like a scene you’re constructing, not your actual life. You lead, they follow. Liberated from the anxiety of it being personal, it will get easier, and stimulate your imagination.
With enough repetition, or even rehearsal, your skill at controlling the situation will be greatly empowering.
Also knowing all the facts to out-fact them is good too. Basically be the most prepared guy in the room. You’re going into a battle or into a debate. That’s our world right now, we’ve got to suit up and plan in advance.
Visualize these confrontations before they happen. Mentally walk through what they’ll say, what you’ll do. Like preparing for a job interview.
Hand out fact pamphlets, start trying to red pill people. Who knows you may win some people over. Most will take it like you’re a Jehovah’s Witness trying to convert them or something and will be like “oh fuck off get out of my face.” You win.
You do this enough and eventually it’s innate: you don’t need to try anymore, or prepare in advance. Your peace of mind is worth the investment in yourself.
I read a book by an ex-SAS guy, last name maybe McNab? He is a diagnosed psychopath. The book is about wielding the power of being a psychopath in certain situations, though not for sinister purposes. The quote that stuck with me most and that I use when I’m really fired up about something is “How would I feel about this if I didn’t take it personally?” For me it’s like flipping a light switch. All of a sudden I’m like Neo blocking Agent Smith at the end of The Matrix. “There’s a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path.”
This persona you create, is a crusader that’s not just defending you, it is speaking out and defending all of us, and especially the many who don’t have the courage to fight back on their own. You may just start red pilling people before you know it.

Hope one or two of these tactics may help you!
