why are people aggressive towards me?

so when I am in public i noticed that people behave aggressively towards me. almost as if they want to attack me. Instead of paying attention to them i just walk away and forget about it.

It seems that wherever i go people want to start a fight with me.

for example, at a bar a guy out of nowhere punches me in the chest and tries to fight for no reason. this has happened to me over 5 times at bars.

another example: i was checking out through a cashier and the female cashier gave me an angry look. when i said "hello how are you?" she gives me a stank face and says nothing. this has happened so many times i dont go through cashiers anymore .

it s very strange behavior . i try to be nice to ppl and in return they vent anger towards me.

i noticed when i look angry and speak in a loud rude tone people are nice to me and respect me . also, if i make myself look very mangled and dress like a hobo people leave me alone.

    Maybe it's your body language. People are probably aggressive towards you because they perceive you as weak, or submissive, and thus fair game to push around. Try using more strong, dominant body language. Your angry look and rude tone shows people not to mess around with you, so thus your body language and attitude should project dominance or confidence if they don't already. Search websites for alpha, dominant body language; any type of body language that projects power. People, especially cowards, won't screw around with someone who looks tough and confident.

    There are probably other variables that make people aggressive towards you, but enough information doesn't seem to be given to indicate other factors.
