Quick question
Aug. 23rd, 2016 12:15 pmThis weekend I accidentally freaked out/worried a college-aged neighbor by walking towards my apartment deep in thought (I think it may have been "I am so sick. Why am I moving?").
She lives in the same building I do but on the bottom floor; we live on the top. She was walking in front of me a good few paces ahead but when she picked up her pace, I slowed down, realizing she was feeling threatened. I guess this was a mistake as by the time I got to the stairs, she was waiting at her door and staring me down. I made some sorry-esk facial expression and pointed up.
I am wondered what I should do in a similar situation in the future so as to not cause panic. Thoughts?
