I need some advice ladies: This guy is stalking me. He apparently remembers me from a pool bbq my friend took me to, and he tells me how he watches me and knows where I work. He works at ShopRite and Im terrified. What can I do to protect myself?

1. Block him on everything but take screenshots before you do, emails, numbers, all that. Save it in your phone to a folder. Be collected. 2. Write a journal of all the stuff that happens also take pictures and sign/date. Evidence and timelines is key. 3. Best to make a new email and backup accounts first you to double post on but keep 100% private no followers until you may need it🙂‍↕️ for your own happiness trust me

Look up nearby self defense classes. Never go to his place of work (if you work there too, quit). Carrying pepper spray AND gel (incase it’s really windy). Share your location with someone you trust. Don’t be predictable when you change locations. Avoid deserted areas (unless you need to be there). Be cognizant of your surroundings and cars near you. If it escalates, do not hesitate to file a report at the police station.

If it gets worse and police do nothing, this is where you gotta get a bit creative. Maybe hire a bodyguard. Ask employees of any business to walk you to your car, even if you feel safe. Get cameras around your house (if you live in an apartment, get a doorbell with a camera).

Last but not least, do not panic. Panic will only sabotage any logical thinking and may put you in harm’s way. I wish you the best!!!

4. Security cameras. 5. Be aware of your surroundings if you’re at work and note who may be in a parking lot or entering the store more often than you usually do, or wherever you work 6. Work out at home. Go to the gym. Take self defense. Get a weapon- keep something easy near your bed but hidden. Something In a common access point like a bat. And have sprays on your person. Honestly if you can get the cat ear knuckles and keep it in your purse. Or the long car window pin. Technically legal.

Thank you so so much bc I’ve really been panicking over this bc I shop at ShopRite and he’s cornered me multiple times in isolated aisles to get information from me like when I’m free and when I’m not in school. I figured out that he was listening to my conversations with people at the BBQ and I’m too exhausted between work and school to think of a logical solution.

My friends and partner are all ofc supporting me by taking me to ShopRite but the way that he’s approaching me isn’t aggressive enough for it not to be a slap on the wrist if I report him to his boss, but also IK if I go to the police they’ll treat it as he’s just badgering me or something and that he’s harmless but ik the way he’s speaking to me is so intimidating, like he’s trying to get me to slip up and say something important..

Have fake information for basic things like Name, Age, Town/City of residence, favorite food/drink, favorite restaurant, favorite recreational place, etc Make sure to have these memorized before a chance encounter again, so if he were to “quiz” you later on, you won’t slip up!
