Like when you are walking towards each other do you keep going straight and make them move or shoulder check them or do you just move over?

I try to be courteous most of the time but sometimes I move and notice they didnt even bother to adjust their shoulder like they were planning to just charge right through me like I wasnt there.

depends if they're walking on the wrong side of the path. people should follow same rules of walking correct side as if they're driving. I've stood my ground a few times when it's a couple scrote teenagers and shoulder barged them and they walk off silent. But when it's some woman or old dear i tend to just walk around them because sometimes they're a bit thick and dont realise it

They all flee before me, or there will be trouble.

I'm 5'5". If I tried to take a stand every time some jerk Bluto doesn't respect CIVILIZED manners and EQUALITY in social distance then I'd find myself in a daily Rough & Tumble and being accused of having a "Napoleon Complex" for not allowing their EGO to Bully me…..

so not worth the headache and I just humbly give their EGO the space it needs

True you are right I think its partly a ego and insecurity thing but also feel its principle too.
