I want to add, get in the habit of helping people and never telling anyone. Every day is a good day to practice helping people around you and not getting caught. Help someone take in their shopping. Help a stranger jump their car. Help an unhoused person get groceries. The less you hear strangers, friends, or family saying they saw you help someone, the more you'll know you can do it in the future, when being seen is dangerous.
I do... a lot to help people. As often as I can. And every time I get zero recognition, I know I passed a stealth check.
Also, remember, if you're helping someone and someone else asks what you were doing, now is a time to practice obfuscation.
Additionally nobody suspects the person everyone recognizes as helpful as helping in a dangerous way. And they don’t suspect anything of their helping them.
I’ll also say, practice saying the lies you expect to have to tell. “I don’t know anyone like that around here” “I swear allegiance to the party” “I was at home all night reading”
What's funny is that the majority of people in LA aren't actually natives. The whole LA people thing is spread and caused by the same people who complain about it ironically enough. I practice obfuscation in my conversations almost 24/7 I'm so good at this point
I've never been to LA but I find that easy to believe. Im proud of you for practicing. We can all use more practice.
