Svu Paranoia
Is paranoia a normal reaction towards strangers?
Well, some guy came up to me at the library, and started to tell me how cute I was. Which made me feel REALLY uncomfortable because he looked WAY too old for me, like 16. I told him I was 13, but he still wouldnt leave, and to make matters he was 19 (that’s not legal, right?). So then he asked for my phone number. I dont know what I was thinking but I gave it to him. Now I regret it. Now Im scared he’ll come at my doorstep, or track me down. I doubt that’ll happened, but I’ve been watching too many too many Law & Order:SVU episodes and one was about an older guy taking advantage of younger girls with his charms. I try to get a hold of myself but it isn’t working. Maybe because I’ve never been hit on before.
Another question: What’s the difference between the categories of Psychology and Mental Health
In a public place, it’s generally easier to just get up and walk away (he probably won’t follow you because it would make a scene) if he really is a creep, he probably wouldn’t have asked for your number people like that often don’t have the social skills to make that kind of overt attempt (although some do) also if you find yourself in a similar situation, ask to meet at a neutral location rather than give a phone number (it’s harder to track someone down based on where they would meet for a date rather than a phone number) I wouldn’t be worried about it though, it sounds like he just is into younger women, no SVU here (in all likelihood) although try telling your folks about it, maybe if they see something they’ll know what to do- really it sounds like a false alarm to me. not to say don’t be careful or anything, ultimately, I agree with the guy above me, trust your gut.
