people are strange

[illusion_is_mine]

 So there's been this really strange girl at my job that I think is obsessed with me.  First of all this has been going on for a few months.  I initially just brushed it off, but It looks like I'll have to confront her.  The other day when I was eating lunch she sat at my table.  I didn't really care because I was looking at my phone, and minding my own business.  She says hi to me, and I tell her hi back then the next thing I know she's moving to another table.  She keeps playing these weird mind games with me, and it's really getting on my nerves.  

I've also noticed that she's started taking her breaks and lunches at the same time as me recently.  One time while I was heating up my food in the microwave she looked me up and down in a manner that made me incredibly uncomfortable.  We've never actually had a conversation, and I'm not sure why she keeps doing random weird shit to get my attention, but it's mostly just annoying the crap out of me.  I've heard her ask other people about me, and she got annoyed when I told her "I don't really talk that much", which is actually true.  To be honest I was just put off by her, and I guess I subconsciously got bad vibes about her initially.   I'm not sure what hear deal is, but for now I'm going to just try to ignore her unless she gets out of hand.  Then I'll confront her, and I won't be so nice anymore.  

Jim Morrison was definitely right about people being strange.  

Also this situation reminds me of this song a bit.  The backstory about this song is that the band's manager was apparently obsessed with Siouxsie to the point to where it was rather creepy.  She wrote this song about the situation from the stalker's POV.

Yeah I heard about his manager praying on the other girls in the band. I read that letter you're talking about and it was pretty horrible. It's so sad that nothing has really changed. I was just telling my coworker about the Kesha situation.

In Siouxsie's case the manager became obsessed during the time she was dating the drummer Budgie. She said he used to come to her house and everything. The band fired him shortly after that luckily.

This woman sounds really annoying rather than creepy - I always see men in this role as more predatory somehow, but all the same, it sounds like a right pain.

I do love the way Siouxie pronounces words like "ob-seshuuuuuuun".............but it is upsetting that even a strong woman like her got preyed upon.

She is creepy, and I get an uneasy feeling every time I'm around her. I just stay away from her if I can.

I love how she pronounces it too! It really adds nicely to the song I think. Yeah, it's really a shame that she got preyed upon. I'm glad the band was there to support her though.

I love the song, but I didn't know the backstory behind it... :-/

Whatever the woman's business is, ignoring her seems like a good strategy to me too (at least for now)...

I've heard her ask other people about me, and she got annoyed when I told her "I don't really talk that much", which is actually true.
Yeah, that sounds weird... Sorry about the situation.

Yeah, it's a really weird situation. It's been triggering my anxiety a bit. I do think ignoring her is the best strategy.
