As I was entering my workplace a guy stopped me to speak to me he seemed pleasant at first I thought maybe he was asking for directions or just being friendly.
He said he knows my workplace very well and asked what department I work in and what my name is. I felt a little weirded out by him but didn’t want to be rude so told him. I make my way to enter the building he stopped me again and kept talking. I said I need to get going but he continued. He said he’d like to come in and do a talk I told him to email them or call and I can’t help him. He then said my name and said “it was lovely to meet you and I’ll tell them you recommended me to come in and do a talk”.
I feel so annoyed I didn’t just ignore him but also I suffer from anxiety so I am overthinking this massively. I’m very new to the job and feel really awkward this weirdo is going to say he knows me and I’ve told him to come and do a presentation!
please talk me down from this. Yes I know in the future just walk on and don’t give real name etc.
