I was mostly referring to the individual interpersonal interactions, where you said you have been criticized for holding doors open. That is bizarre. That part must be you. Have you asked female friends why they think you were criticized? (Assuming you were holding the door for women...) maybe you do it in a creepy way? Do you tip your fedora and grandiosely say “after you m’lady?”
