Im worried about going to Egypt (self.travel)

I want to go to Egypt, Cairo specifically, but I hate people getting all up in my face.

I've been to places where they approach you and bother you but will leave it you tell them you are not interested. I heard in Egypt they will insist even after you tell them to go away and I'm worried I will end up headbutting some Egyptian seller/scammer and get into very serious problems.

Should I not go?

I saw a guy recently wearing both a scowl and a badge that said 'please be kind to me I have autism'. That might work to some degree. Maybe replace 'have autism' with something more appropriate like 'have difficulty restraining myself from physical violence'.

Strong reference, but it makes me feel like my comment was cruel. I didn't mean it as such.

It's not that I have a problem with restraint is that if I have to tell a person 3 or 4 times to back off and they keep pushing me into a metaphororical corner I can lash out.

I never had any problems with violence before other than the normal teenager bullshit because I just remove myself from the situation, but I know myself, and I know of I'm encroached on I will probably lash out.
