So there are two boys that sit behind me in one of my classes, and ive noticed they've become very obsessed with me. They are always trying to get my attention, calling my name every 5 minutes, just making a bunch of annoying remarks. They even found out where i worked and showed up one time. Now they keep bugging me trying to figure out which days and hours i work. I avoided answering because im sick of them bugging me and showing up everywhere. As mean as it sounds, I dont want to have anything to do with them because they are just creepy to me. Im not very good at being honest about how i feel about people. So lately ive been ignoring them(after they yell my name about 4 times) and when they try to talk to me i just turn back around and dont say anything. Ive been doing this for weeks, hoping they'd get the hint that i DONT want to talk to them. But they dont get it! What am i supposed to do without being rude about it?
Additional info, added Tuesday March 8 2005, 11:27 pm: I dont want to seem stuck up. I just dont like these guys.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? Lola answered Saturday March 20 2010, 12:53 pm: I know how you must feel not wanting to tell them to leave you alone cause that might be mean or embarassing to them, but its not when they are invading your privacy and your life. Obviously they have a motive in what they are doing or they are just simply whack! Either ways you don't wanna have anything to do with them, so you shouldn't care how they'll feel when you tell them to leave you alone, cause you have to tell them that, it doesn't have to be in a bad way, or don't fight with them, but in a polite way, tell them that you don't like how they are following you everywhere and how they keep calling your name and bugging you, and tell them that you've tried dropping hints nicely, but they just don't get it.
Because some people can become really obsessive after time, and i'm not telling you this to scare you, but you never know their motives, and their are psychos out there, now i don't know if your in school or college, you just said 'classes', either ways, after you tell them to leave you alone, if this continues and in a worse way, you'll have to tell someone elder, maybe a teacher or whoever is in charge in the place you take classes, or tell your parents or something, or change your place in class, or if you have security where you work, tell them not to let them in or something, but thats only if things get really out of hand, which hopefully they won't, they're probably just wasting time and having fun, and because your too nice and your not complaining or doing anything about it, so you lead them on, so tell them off.
Sweet_LiL_Angel answered Saturday March 20 2010, 12:37 pm: they kind of sound like they like you or like your personality and want to be your friend. but yes bugging you that much is a little obsessive. I know you arnt comfortable confronting them but its the best you need to tell them to please leave you along and if they continue then tell the principal or the police. i think you may want to tell both since its not just happening at school. good luck and i hope they get the hint.

Ask your teacher to tell them to quit or to move you to the opposite side of the room from them. You should be able to get your boss to make them leave you alone if they show up again.

Firefly answered Wednesday March 9 2005, 8:58 pm: I had this same problem, and the solution is so mind-bogglingly simple you're going to wish you thought it up yourself: play along.
When they ask you stupid questions, answer them. When they call your name, say, "yes?" Play down to their level and try not to lose your temper, just always be pleasant and occasionally humorous, and they'll eventually calm down a bit because it's no fun when they don't get a reaction.

karenR answered Wednesday March 9 2005, 8:22 am: You're going to have to get rude because that is evidently all they understand.Tell them to stop following you and hasseling you or you will call the cops. They keep doing it because you are letting them. Follow up on the threat if they don't stop.You may first want to try to get help from your teacher and/or employer who may also be of help.
