Enderman start attacking you without looking into their eyes. After simply walking through them, or near them occasionally they become aggro towards you. Making it nearly impossible to fight the dragon without a pumpkin. Also impossible to explore the end, even looking straight at the ground still seems to make them angry at you.

"Walking through them" could be interpreted as an attack; I wouldn't recommend it, and it might be intended that it sets them off.
Are you aware that if you anger one enderman any others nearby will attack as well? This is normal in the End, where endermen are close together. Could that explain what you're experiencing?
That is definitely a possibility of what happens, but I was under the impression that enderman should only become angered when attacking them, or looking at their eyes. I tried this with just one enderman in the overworld alone, and after walking near it, looking at about the knees, it becomes angry.
On Previous versions of the game, Java, or XBone edition, you could walk through the end with your head straight down without angering any enderman.
Thank you

Also reported in MCPE-27664. I have a video attached on that one that shows an enderman becoming aggressive when looking at around 'knee' level. Previously you had to look at their face. I'm pretty sure that it's not the collision making them become aggressive, but the fact that it is impossible to maintain your gaze at an enderman lower than it's knee when looking straight down and passing through them, since your eyes are above their waist.
This ticket has been marked as a duplicate of MCPE-28503, in favor of the more general or better information provided.
I experienced this behavior in 1.4.3 and this ticket better matches my experience than MCPE-28503. It was similar to when it is raining in the overworld, which I had chalked up to them teleporting in front of the player, whereas normally it is difficult to aggro an Enderman in the overworld (have to target with a bow). I didn't notice endermen teleport in front of me in the End but quite a few aggro'd for no discernible reason (I didn't look at their waist or walk through them).
