What is "ball stealing"? Is that like "flipping the script"?
Yes

Isn't approaching a woman a symp move? In retrospect, I find it curious that both you and Mickey merely even brought up approaching as an option, as approaching women seems almost antithetical to the power-hungry and self-absorbed ways of the pimp.
It depends what mindset you have when you approach. As with all of this mindset is key.
If you go in with a symps mindset then yes it is a big mistake.
If you go in purely to check out if something would appeal to you, to do some investigation, a recon mission so to speak, with no thought of outcome or expectation or attachment - now you are talking an entirely different vibe and she
WILL feel the difference.
Also, as mentioned before, you can approach without really approaching, just as women do all the time. Watch them and you will see them do it all the time, approaching without approaching.
It can be as simple as being in her vicinity, or some idle comment on the environment (to yourself, or someone else). Attempt to not limit your classification of an approach, think more of an 'opening' for her to interact with you. You are giving her a chance to meet and converse with you.

On the surface, people are acting oddly neutral, like they're being too normal. It's hard to describe, but the best way I can put it is that it feels like most people are pretending not to notice me.

It's not like I'm not noticeable; I dress a step above the rest, I'm 6'2, and I weigh almost 300 lbs so it's rather hard to not notice me.

when I speak in class to answer the professor's question, I usually command much more attention from the class than the others when they speak.
Interesting, that says a lot to me.
What does your gut tell you?
What are you really seeing?
What do you think you are seeing that you are having a hard time believing?
You know the answer.
