People think I'm following them...
... You know the feeling. When you're walking along a path, on your way to the shop or something. Someone in front of you is walking the exact same route.
Always a fear in the back of my mind that they think I'm following them. To the point where I'll try anything to overtake them, walk a different way etc.


I hate that feeling.

I get this
more than the fear of people following me. But you can't tell them you're not following them. That would be weird...

Same here
Not a phobia, just a feeling. I try to avoid the route that I guess they're going to take- sometimes taking another few minutes to get to my destinatio to avoid them, etc.

But this seems to make it so much worse when our paths inevitably cross again

Happens to me as well.
Once in the office, I decided to go to the little boy's room. The route involved walking down the entire length of the open-plan space and taking a flight of stairs down to the floor below. Just as I was about to pass the desk of one of the women who sat nearby, she decided to get up and head off in the same direction. We both walked off along the same route. Because of her timing, she was only two meters in front of me. It remained so until we got to our respective little-kid's rooms. I was a bit worried that she might have felt it a bit creeped while being followed her on her way to do something intimate.

I accidentally "followed" someone
through the maze of corridors in my office recently. She stopped and commented on how it felt as though she was being stalked, but not listening properly I just laughed and mumbled something incomprehensible... she's given me funny looks ever since.
