What a crazy story.But good for you for saying "no" to the fear.<br /><br />Personally, I think the next time you see him and he smirks at you, you should remind him that the police have his name on record. Alternatively, the next time he smirks at you, just smirk right back at him, because YOU know that the police have his name on record!

As for meeting people I find intimidating, not only do I look them in the eye, I also suck my gut in and chest out and walk as tall as my 5 ft.1 will allow.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452957979065342811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645506511282317584.post-76506456055888811752009-09-17T07:37:25.399-07:002009-09-17T07:37:25.399-07:00I had two men try to get into my house one night w...I had two men try to get into my house one night when I was working late. It was before I was married so I lived alone and around the same time I would have normally come home from work. Fortunately, I was late. My neighbor caught them and ran them off. The next night I sat inside the front window with my dog who could be vicious towards strangers and a baseball bat. The guy actually drove by again very slowly and began to park in front of the house. I flipped the flood lights on and began to panic. Then I got mad. I found out who he was via his car to discover he was a neighbor from up the road. Whenever I felt angry that he tried to make me his victim I would take the dog for a walk right in front of his house. If he was out I would walk very slowly and let the dog bark and carry on as if she were going to kill him. Then as soon as we passed I would pull her leash and return her to appropriate behavior. It was empowering to make him scared, not that I'm really that sort of person. Good for you. We have to keep the balance of good when someone invades our nice comfy lives.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648829024939637485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645506511282317584.post-74638846503886571292009-09-17T07:21:22.608-07:002009-09-17T07:21:22.608-07:00Thank you for sharing this story!

We think, "Oh, I know him; surely he means no harm" because we don't want to believe bad things can happen to us. I'm glad you were OK. I would have completely freaked out! And would still be freaking.

Facing fear head-on, in the eyes, is a good way to kill it.

Looking people in the eye is perfect, it lets them know you aren't someone they can mess with. My philosophy is that life is too short to go around avoiding situations. You are going to have to face them sooner or late, might as well make it sooner and get your peace back.The Bodhi Chicklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287125977780580043noreply@blogger.com
