I was almost 30 and female, and I have been told I look 16 to 18 depending on the outfit.

I have an anxiety disorder, and additionally I have issues picking up social cues, so

sometimes I misunderstand things, or get paranoid about things that are really innocent.

So I've learned a question my thoughts.

I've been working in the food service industry for a few years, and in particular about

two years at the Burger King this happened.

This incident happened about four years ago now.

I had just started working some late night shifts, and we hired a new manager, Paul.

He was a footer so taller than me, skinny, with dark eyes, and usually wore large glasses.

He wasn't physically imposing, but still made me nervous because he was new, and male.

There are reasons new males put me on edge, but that's for another day.

After a few days I noticed some strange things.

Whenever I worked the counter, he would stand so close behind me that I could feel the

cloth of his shirt brush my neck, because he was looking over my shoulder.

Again, I worked here before he did, and had for a year, so it bugged me.

If I was stuck in the drive-through area instead, he would stand in such a way that I was

blocked in and couldn't get past him, and every time I'd been over, if I looked up,

I could tell that he was staring right at me.

At first I figured I was just imagining it, that he wasn't purposely blocking me in.

I had to be just paranoid again, I assumed.

After a few more weeks of working there, he started buying pizza for the crew, or drinks,

etc. for a nearby business, and he always was the one to go pick it up and bring it in.
