@CONTROVERSIAL_NAME I used to be a lot shier about it and while I'm still not exactly brave about taking strangers' photos in public, I've gotten better at being confident in what I see in people or their clothes or where they're sitting. You should be able to point out to someone what it is you liked about them or whatever role they played in a photo if it's a good composition, and that can go a long way to assuage people's concerns. People are usually more curious than anything else. It also helps that I've published more of my street photography lately so I can, like, show people that I'm not just some random creep lol, but getting over my nerves can still be tough at times.
ohhhh i would be so scared to photograph strangers in public. i have experienced a moment like this many times... eyes closed on the train coming back from an event in the city... listening to something and feeling the rumbles
