Recently, I noticed a few different people, mainly women, sort of smiling, crossing their arms and crossing their legs and sort of backing away when speaking to me. In one scenario, something a little different happened. I was standing close to a female during a discussion and all of the sudden she seemed to panic and step backwards.

I think this behavior is signs of being very uncomfortable and I wonder if I am doing something that I am unaware of that makes people, mainly women, uncomfortable around me. Does this sound familiar to anyone? What might be going on? Don't worry about being personal or possibly insulting. I want to figure out what I am doing wrong.
