If a Stranger Acts Like Your Friend in Public, It's a Cry for Help!

So you're walking through town drinking

your

coffee and a strange girl comes up to you and hugs you. Hey Mike, that's where you're ready to go, hold on. Firstly,

your

name is James, secondly, you weren't going anywhere, you were just taking a casual walk, and lastly, I have no idea who this girl is. I'm sorry, I don't know you. You must have taken me for someone else. You say she thinks she's a freak and backs away. No, no, no, you shouldn't have said that. Maybe she'll realize that. You don't know each other, but you still approached you for some reason, other than you have kind eyes and a beautiful smile, of course, what if this girl is in danger and this is her cry for

help

?

Okay, let me cheat a little and show you. What could have happened to her? Suppose this girl is Riley. She is 19 years old. An hour ago, just like you, she left her house in a very good mood. She went for a walk and in a couple of hours she was with her

friend

s. While she was standing in line for having an ice cream, she realized that a man was watching her from the corner. She was wearing black pants, a black hoodie, and sunglasses. Although it is difficult to recognize a person dressed like that, she was pretty sure that she had never seen him before and he looked suspicious.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember rule number one, trust your gut if you feel uncomfortable, don't take any risks. Yes, we all look at people from time to time, but it's better. be careful and be careful rule number two go to a safe place it's best to avoid dark and empty streets of course you'd better choose a well lit and busy street or store even if it's in the opposite direction to where you're actually going to do Make sure you stay as close to people as possible. Check if the person is following you.

If so, then rule number three, don't go home. You don't want that stalker to know your address. Keep walking through the city and choose the busiest area. and the most illogical routes to have a coffee do some shopping go to the post office it is the right time to do all the pending matters that you may have maybe the person will get tired of following you and return home if you want to confirm your suspicions try this first do several irrational turns for example walking around some building it is unlikely that a person who is minding his business will make circles another way is to change the pace and see if the person adjusts his pace to yours or you can walk into a store Leave there and then go back inside if that person comes back to you.

They are following you, but don't panic. Rule number four. Be prepared. Make sure you have something to defend yourself with, for example, take your keys and keep them in your hand. Write the emergency telephone number. number on your cell phone in advance to call without wasting a second if necessary during a call name your address first only then you must say who you are and what happened in case you can't finish the phone call at least they will know where to look if you are in danger and need

help

, don't be afraid to make a scene, fight and scream, try to get everyone's attention, this could scare the bully, but remember that when you ask for help, always go to a particular person who is looking at you . the eye, if you just cry, everyone will continue to mind their own business thinking that someone else will help you if you single someone out from the crowd, the person will feel responsible and will be more likely to help you, well, back to our, Riley realized He realized that the boy was watching.

She so she walked around the city trying to get rid of him but it didn't work the man was still chasing her this didn't look good she called her parents and

friend

s but no one answered there was still an hour left until the meeting with her friends and she couldn't just give turns like that, there was only one trick left before having to make a drama in the middle of the street when none of your friends are around and they can't come see you, you just have to pretend they are around. You can approach a

stranger

.

Well, someone who looks nice and friendly and pretend you know them. Hopefully, they'll play along. The stalker will see that you're not alone and will most likely leave for good, so Riley took a deep look. She took a breath and began to look through the crowd trying to find someone who seemed friendly among all the people. She chose you with her heart skipping a beat. She ran to you and hugged you. Hey, Mike, that's where you're ready to go. This is where your part comes in. Play along, don't smile, hug him back and don't reveal your surprise.

Remember that someone could be stalking her, so you have to look real. Your first action should be to continue talking to her as if you knew each other. Say something casual like, "Oh, hey, kid, how?" it's you and start walking with her keeping the conversation going pay attention to the girl's behavior she may look nervous and scared her voice may be shaking or her hands may be shaking stay friendly to calm her down and let her know you have her back while you talk try to find out discreetly know what it is about, but be careful and don't just look around, trying to spot suspicious guys, if there is someone who is still following the girl, they can see that you know about them, tell the girl that you wanted to show her something new . photos of your cat take out your cell phone write are you in danger and show her the screen if the girl nods go to the next step don't leave her alone keep walking talk to her and try to take some discreet looks around you to detect the things or people that seem

stranger

s when you see the stalker try to remember as many details as possible about them what they wear if there are any accessories with their skin color hair color height and build but do not look at them directly still use some possibility to study them such as the reflections in the mirrors of the shop windows or turn your head before crossing the street, probably when the stalker realizes that the girl is not alone and will have company for a long time, he will get lost, so keep paying attention if they are still chasing you, if it has already happened enough time and they don't disappear, it's time to let them know that you know they are following you.

Stop turning around and looking them directly in the eyes. Be confident and show them that you know it. about them and want them to get lost, take this face-to-face opportunity to spot as many notable features of theirs as possible so you can then describe them in every little detail when they leave, don't leave the girl alone still walking around. for a while to make sure that the stalker is really gone, after that it is better to accompany the girl home or wherever to make sure that she is safe and that nothing else threatens her, congratulations, you are the hero of the day, Not everyone knows this trick. so you can even start it yourself wherever you are, there may be someone you can save with just a casual chat if you are, for example, on the subway and you see that a suspicious guy is bothering a girl and she is not comfortable with that. walk up to her, say you haven't seen her in a while and start a casual conversation like you're her old friend, the guy will just walk away from her and the girl will probably be more than grateful for your help, stay with her and talk until she is safe
