What To Do When Someone Is Following You On The Street?

You are hanging out with your friends in a place after a busy day of work and sometimes it gets late to say bye. So, you are walking back to home and hear footsteps closing in towards you from behind. Suddenly you can’t shake the unsavory feeling of someone following you.
Yes, you could be followed by someone even if you are not a celebrity nor a criminal or suspect that the police are searching for. Even if you are a law abiding, peaceful citizen, there is a chance that you could be followed by someone at some point of your life (may that point never comes in your life) by the people who wants you to cause harm. Studies shows that, 75% of women have been followed by someone in their lifetime.

1. Always be aware of your surroundings:
Situational awareness is a great thing to develop in your day to day life. Situational awareness (SA) is the perception of environmental elements and events with respect to time or space. It simply means to be aware of the things and incidents going on around you. Don’t just put your headphones on when you are walking, it blocks the awareness as you direct most of your attention/senses to the music/podcast which you are hearing to. It makes you much susceptible as a target which can easily be followed.

2. Make sure you are being followed:
Sometimes we just get paranoid and take it for granted that we are being followed. It can be just some normal guy taking the same road as you. So, it is not wise to reach to a conclusion without being sure about the matter. You have to make it confirm that someone is following you. How would you do that? Gear up your walking pace. Observe the person’s footsteps behind you. If the footsteps are catching up with yours then it could be the thing you are fearing of. Try to take turns in your walking route.

3. Don’t be panicked:
Whatever shock you feel that time don’t be panicked. It will make situation, you are in only worse. If you panic the pursuer will get the signal that you are in a vulnerable position and will get the upper hand of the situation. Panicking may lead you to harsh decisions that could push yourself into a unpleasant situation. Just stay focused and observant about the pursuer. Don’t look at the pursuer directly without any necessary means. Try to glance at the stalker through the car windows or shop’s glasses reflections. You can stop by a car or outside of a shop’s glass and can act as you are admiring the car or the dress, at that moment you can see the reflection of the follower.

4. Head to a person or a crowded place:
If you see anyone on the street go to them and loudly say “Hi’ as if the person is a friend or relative of yours. Then calmly walk them through the situation you are in and seek help from them. You could ask them to walk with you to a more crowded place until the pursuer gives up. Don’t walk to your house with a stalker following you as you could be giving away your address to them. It will be very much ignorant of you if you think you will get the advantage in your area. The stalker then can come to your house anytime later and can do harm to you both physically and financially. If there are nobody on the street and you just crossed a crowded place a moments ago, you can pretend that you forgot your purse by loudly saying, “oh! I forgot my purse” and start running to the opposite direction.

5. Contact close ones or police:
Who doesn’t have a phone nowadays with them. If you think you can’t shake your stalker, use your phone to contact your friends and family available near you or the police for help. There are a lot of apps which with one touch will contact or message your close ones nearby you that you are in danger. If no one is available nearby just contact the police. If it’s night and you are walking through an alley or sideways it is best not to stare at your phone for a longer period of time.

6. The train/bus/taxi caper:
Like shown in the movies, great detectives shaking their tail by getting into a train on the last minute or a seconds before the doors closes or jumping into a taxi and driving away from the stalker. If you can manage to secure a safe distance between you and the pursuer, you can apply this technique to yourself. You can just get on a train at the last moment and get away from the stalker.
