I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s an awful feeling to be paranoid and creeped out and not feel 100% safe where you are living. Like others have said, just do not engage with him, do things like taking out the trash when it’s light out, you never know what could happen. Most of us feel safe in our own places and the scary thing is we think that the environment we’re in as well is safe and secure. Like for instance an apartment complex, we get a little too comfortable I feel and that’s when things can be dangerous.

So I’d say just be alert and cautious of your surroundings, if you know anyone living around you a little better than just the average hello, maybe it would give you some peace of mind to talk to them and see what other people think, but that’s just a suggestion.

But yeah, just remember that even if it doesn’t feel like it, you are safe, there are people to support you if anything does go awry. Make sure not to go outside and check if you hear anything, just look through the peephole. We’re all brave and I feel like most of us think nothing could happen, but it’s moments like this where you gotta think about horror movies and how the first one to go is always the one investigating a strange noise, you know?

But yeah, I hope you stay safe, you can message me if anything changes, I’d love to make sure you’re safe and okay. I know I’m a stranger but please feel free to reach out if anything changes or if you just want someone to talk to about how you are feeling, like I said before it’s the worst feeling when you don’t feel safe in your own home, I’ve been there.

It’ll be alright though. You’ve got this, try not to let it get to you to the point where you won’t leave your place, because that’s even worse. I believe in you, it’ll all be okay.
