Over the past week or so, a male teacher at my children’s school has just begun acting strange towards me. Or maybe it’s me just over thinking things.
Last week, along a wide outside path where there was nobody else other than him and me walking in opposite directions. When we crossed paths, he bumped into me. The path is approximately 3m wide so there wasn’t any need for this to happen and he was watching me as we were walking, so it wasn’t accidental. I said ‘oopsie’ in a joking way as I tried to dodge him (as I was walking diagonally away from him he was walking towards me hence why I don’t believe it was an accidental bump), and he just looked at me before carrying on walking. Brushed it off as strange, and didn’t think anything else of it.
Since then, every time I look up while waiting for my children to come out of school, I see him just looking at me. If I smile he just has this deadpan expression.
Today I was speaking to another teacher (the head, we’re friends so was a brief chat), this teacher approached us and joined in the conversation in a friendly way. He kept touching my arm to tell me something while I was part way through speaking to the head teacher, so once I finished my sentence I turned to acknowledge him, smiled and said something, while I was actually mid sentence, he responded ‘oh right’ and turned away and walked off.
I remember too months ago now, I got a notification that he viewed my linked in profile. Irrelevant probably but?
I am very confused. Is this a power thing? Is he odd? Or am I just over thinking things and he’s actually being pretty normal?
He honestly looks like he wants to murder me!
