I often become wary of judgement when in direct contact with strangers, such as making a transaction or asking directions, mainly due to my ethnic background. Due to the discrimination I've experienced in the past I feel the moment I approach a stranger and converse with them that they're judging me by my race and I know it makes me no better than them to think that way.
The ability develops from experience, if you spend time outside on a regular basis you will become accustomed to it and mildly complacent. Mild complacency is still better than paranoia, it's good for your mental health.
