It's these two sorts of entrapment that motivate me not to just behave within the law, but to be in general very pedophobic and avoid children. When I must deal with them I try to minimize it, I almost have to seem brash and hateful and it kind of hurts not just to me, but to know that it probably hurts them. I know it's probably excessively paranoid but I guess I just don't like risks like that, because legal systems and society are just too interpretable and person-based, while personal testimonies are so flawed. To live in peace you basically have to isolate yourself and be sad.

I think you are a little pessimistic. But, so much depends on your individual situation. Your age, your AoA, the "impression" you make on the parents of the girls in your AoA.

Years ago I too avoided interacting with little girls, mostly because I was in denial of having that attraction. Having fully embraced the little girls in my life, I now know there is no going back. My friendships, interaction, and play time with girls are some of the most important and cherished aspects of my life.
