so i (20F) am being made fun of/ stalked by this “random” (not completely random, i know who these people are but never met them personally so they are basically strangers although i know their names) couple 21M and 23F. so basically the girl and i have very similar style and interests. she’s been telling her friends that she thinks im copying her. Everytime i run into her in public i see her staring me down and she will immediately start whispering to her friends about me or will start aggressively texting someone. There was even an instance where i saw her trying to sneak a picture of me. I literally don’t know this girl or her friends or boyfriend personally.

Her friends don’t really bother me in public they just sorta stare at me when they’re with the girl but never when they’re alone. Its just her and her boyfriend. I saw them at a restaurant recently and saw the girl go to her boyfriend and said “that’s the girl” while staring. her boyfriend started staring at me up and down and made a disgusted face and shook his head and said to her “ i don’t like this girl” and then whispered something to her that i couldn’t hear but i assume he was making fun of me because they started laughing really loud and staring at me. Mind you i have never met these people.

Whenever i see this girl or anyone associated with her in public i never make eye contact. I’ve smiled at her or her friends a few times but other than that i literally will pretend like i cant hear them and pretend like they aren’t there. This girl and her friends have now started stalking all my socials either by viewing my story when they don’t even follow me or by using burner accounts to interact with my account. None of these people have ever said anything to me in person or online.

I’ve now started suspiciously bumping into this girl’s boyfriend more often. Maybe i’m paranoid but theres a few places i go routinely at the same time and it seems like he and the girl have made note of where i frequent and will always be there when they werent before. This guy will literally stare me down with daggers in his eyes. He is so unsettling. He’s also taken pictures of me before.

The girl has also started following me around. I always see her at places she didn’t usually go to before and its always at the same time as me and she is always kinda hiding or weirdly lingering around me. She stares me down with her eyes squinted.

And now i’ve been seeing some of the boyfriend’s friends (guys) when im out and i also have never met these guys but they all stare me down with their heads tilted to the side or they will literally crane their necks to look at me while i pretend like they arent there. I heard one of the guys say “do you think she’s copying (the girl’s name” but i couldnt hear anything else or what the other guys response was.

I already have pretty bad social anxiety and this has made it worse. I don’t know these people and I’m certainly not copying this girl. I always get scared when i see any of these people in public like i always feel like I’m gonna have a panic attack.

Today i saw the girl and her boyfriend and i saw them trying to take a pic of me and i finally turned around and mouthed “fuck off” and gave them the middle finger. They put the phone down. I dont know why but i now feel bad for snapping at them even tho i know they deserved that. Hell, i probably shouldve been way fucking meaner.

I’m just confused on why these people i dont know wont leave me the fuck alone.
