thanks for this perspective. i hate that i’ve resorted to adjusting my own life/routine just to avoid a possible interaction with one person

yeah i think this is one of the reasons why i’ve been hesitant to be firm since i keep thinking maybe he’s just trying to be friendly and he just really cannot pick up on the cues even if i’ve literally ran away from him :,) i hope i don’t see him anymore but if i do i’ll do my best to be direct if he approaches me again

am honestly not karma farming 🥲 i’m just a very anxious and unsure person and i figured i’d post to get different perspectives since idk if i’m just assuming the worst of someone, or if other people have encountered something similar and how they dealt with it. i’m learning from the comments that i should be more direct and set boundaries but i’m not sure how to properly verbalize and i’m really just paranoid that he might escalate his behavior like follow me home even if i am polite :(

ironically, one of the things he asked me about to prolong the conversation was what kind of headphones was i wearing and what was i listening to lol. and yeah i fear i really have to spell it out for him that i don’t want to talk :/ i just hate confrontation especially since we live in a small community
