Became a recluse recently.

Geeze. On Friday, I was actually in a happy mood for once. I walked with a skip in my step while smiling to the bus stop. I was overjoyed that my face and hair actually looked amazing that day. It is absolutely rare for me to feel like this. I felt fabulous.

Then next while at the bus station, this 40 something year old man called me over. I am extremely polite irl and so I went over. He completely humiliated me and I have a hard time talking about it. He said "I'm attracted to you." Just... ???? He clearly had so many screws loose. He would stare blankly at me whenever I asked something. Something was wrong with him and he gave off such a creepy vibe. He asked personal creepy questions too. He would not let me put my sunglasses back on. I told him that I am extremely sensitive to bright lights.

I have a problem where I shake at random, either for no reason, or when nervous. I was shaking a lot and stuttering constantly. He asked me why I was shaking and leaned over to ask if I was on crack.

God.

I told him I have various brain ailments and a nervous disorder. People were just staring at me because I am so messed up. I seem normal until someone talks to me then all my flaws and defects reveal themselves. I just wanted to cry.

He grabbed my hands and squeezed them hard until they made a crack noise, which hurt. He shouted at me to stop shaking. Then again he shouted, "STOP THAT!" at my shaking. As if I can even help it. I hate when people shout "STOP THAT!" to whenever I say sorry a lot or shake.

He then would not let me get on the bus and wanted me to come home with him. It was terrifying. His friends were all muscular too. I am assuming he thought from the way I talked and acted that I would be easy to be taken advantage of. Thankfully other people were around so I got to escape and get into a random bus. All the while, I had to be polite and act nice so they will not set out to hunt me down, if they would do that.

Furthermore, my luck is really bad.

The line for the bus took 15 minutes just to get into the bus while normally it takes only a minute. All the while the creepy weirdo and his friends were watching me.

Later that day, I missed the bus I needed to get home. I did some calculating and determined that the bus called North would land at the North transfer station where my bus ride home will be at.

All was going accordingly to plan until suddenly the bus I was on broke down for two minutes. By the time we reached the North transfer station, my bus was taking off. If we had been there one minute sooner, I could have reached it.

Ended up home very late.

Felt like sharing why I am just hiding from the world.

If I ever encounter him again, I am taking a photo and telling a cop. He said such creepy things and asked weird concerning things, like "Can you open a lock?" Umm... scary. Sorry, I still breakdown over this. I had worse experiences, but this was the final straw that really made me crumble.

I am just glad people here on USM are absolutely lovely.
