The Jesus, or cult, look

Something practical to think about that's become more known to me (I've begun to see it in hindsight) is how the world presses in and seemingly takes away your space. I don't know about you, but I find it hard to be inconspicuous just walking down the road. But I know anytime a person is praying, self-remembering, in public it is noticeable because I've witnessed it in an elderly Sikh person in traditional clothing going on his walks. He looks like a holy man and gives off the vibe of a holy man. His head isn't bowed in the usual worldly thought, he is upright with good posture and looks like he's seeing the world with divided attention (Work meaning). But look how conspicuous he is. He doesn't care. If I or any normally dressed citizen of the area did that people think they're in some crazy state of mind. This is what I'm getting at. So you find a place to walk where you can be solitary, but things happen and you can't go there anymore. My favorite place put a school for young children on the grounds, so immediately no adult strangers allowed anywhere near. OK, gotta find another place. But they get fewer and harder to find. Sometimes you find a place and a person sees you and starts a conversation, so now every time you go there that person shows up and it's *conversation time*. You want to be anonymous! And I don't mean interesting conversation. I mean, "Hey, you're out here walking again! Nice evening." I know you can be awake in the midst of that, and you can stand your ground too, while being polite, and you can draw that person upward into your thoughts and world and interests, so maybe I'm looking for conditions but life is giving me other conditions, and I can use both. But overall maybe I'm ashamed or embarrassed to be viewed as being awake in my environment. That 'Jesus look' (or, let's be honest, cult person look) that is not affected, but just goes with being awake in the moment with good posture.
