There's a trick that always works if they're looking at you, even if you're in a crowd.

You just have to look down and in front of you. Like looking at the ground where you're gonna take the next 2-3 steps. Never look at them.

You can even use this while zigzagging in a crowd of people that are all going the opposite direction to you, as long as they can see you looking at the ground, they'll move.

They must think you're not paying attention or something and since they don't want to bump into you, and you're always telegraphing where you'll go, they always move.

I'm on the taller side, I find if I look over and past people into the distance, never even acknowledging them, they part like the red sea.

Can confirm, I learned about this many years ago and it works. As long as you don't acknowledge that you see the other person, they know you are not going to move and they move instead.
