Was I Being Followed?

[LilCorgiXx]

I’ve been feeling increasingly unsafe lately. A few days ago, I noticed someone on the bus who sat next to me and then followed me when I got off. I changed my route, but they kept mirroring my movements. The behavior seemed odd, and I felt like they were doing it on purpose. The second time I saw them, their actions seemed more deliberate, like they were aware of what they were doing. Could this be considered stalking or following? I’m really not sure and could use some advice or insight.

It appears that this person was indeed stalking or following you. What you can do about it is to make sure that he is aware that you know.

For that purpose, turn around and look at him when he follows you. Then take out your smartphone and pretend to call someone while at the same time, you point a finger in his direction and pretend to take a picture. You can actually also call someone and take a picture that you forward as soon as possible to the person (s) you are calling.

Ensure that your GPS is on and that the phone transmits your geolocation. This way, you increase your safety and potentially deter a man to try to follow you or to aggress you. Until this problem is solved, don't head directly home.

If you cannot shake that guy, take a taxi home. Good luck.

He did it twice he knows where i work

Make sure he does not know where you live.

I did some quick digging because he was wearing a ‘specific tag’ and i found out he works a few minutes away from my workplace. He does not know when I clock out so maybe he wasn’t deliberately following me but something still feels off. His behavior was odd-mirroring my movements, awaiting a stair case when there was another way and when i altered my route he didn't follow me instead he gave me a cold expressionless glare it seems like he wants me to be aware of his actions. He also went to the same school as me and i suspected he had a crush on me because i used to overhear his mates teasing me about him. I dont think your idea is safe because he could be carrying a weapon however ill discreetly monitor him to see if he takes the same route without my presence.

Looking forward to hear back from you

If you have any doubts, then have someone you trust posted on the route you usually take and see if he appears.

I would call the cops for assistance on your phone. Better to be safe than sorry. Also, get some tear gas or a stun device to give them the "shock" of their life.

Sounds suspect, call the police

Plenty of serial killers start off as stalkers

I would say you are , please report all activity to police.
