Met a local yid in the Hamburg S-Bahn yesterday thanks to no longer hiding my yarmulke.
He timidly said "shalom" and I sorta ignored him, thinking, "I'm late for selichot and I don't feel like dealing with philosemitic German people right now" and then he said it again and somehow indicated he's also Jewish. We had a nice chat for a few stations, and wished each other a good year.
Positive experiences definitely outweigh the negatives so far. But more than anything, my anxious thoughts have shifted from "if people knew, I'd get some shitty comments sometimes" to now thinking "in case someone is shitty to me what should I say?"
Somehow the latter is more practical and less stressful.
Also. Like, I don't have to do anything and I still can bother antisemites. If they want to annoy me, they have to go out of their way. That effort-influence ratio is incredible.
