For me it's when strangers, mostly women without kids, "compliment" my little one for being "so cute". I can't hear it anymore, though I always retort with a forced and polite smile, knowing well they would think differently if they had to spend just an hour with him.
My kid experiences this constant attention as harassment, and as a consequence, he struggles bonding with adults.
