....Rely on your gut. First off....Look a for light lit up place where there are a lot of people.... I'm telling you to trust your gut because this happened to me before and I almost got kidnapped. Once you reach an area such as a gas station observe...Check is there anyone suspicious and finally call your parents or friend.
Have one of your friends or family follow you and see if there is a creep following you. Take this seriously.
When has this started? Do you walk home from school/work/etc. If so, do you bring a bag with you? Do you have anything on it? I have a couple of keychains on my bag and when I walk home from work, it sounds just like footsteps. It is possible that there is something in your bag that is making the noise. If not, I think it's best to contact a responsible person (police, parents or very close friends).
In case if you ARE being followed and you DO catch sight of your stalker, do zig-zag patterns to make sure if this person isn't actually following you. If the person still follows, (if you have a phone) fake a phone call and "confront" (like saying "Oh I'm going home right now it's just that this guy behind me keeps following me for some reason") this stalker and talk loudly. If that doesn't work, go into a public area, make lots of racket and immediately get into contact with someone you know. Hope everything goes well (づ ̄ ^ ̄)づ
I need advice. I've been hearing someone follow me around for a while now, but when I turned around no one was there. And before anyone tells me I'm being paranoid, I could clearly hear the footsteps behind me. Is it possible I am being followed?
