Do you ever get a vibe from someone where they rub you the wrong way and, for one reason or another, you instinctively know that you can’t really trust them?
If you do, the best way to proceed with someone like this is to keep them at arm’s length and never, ever tell them any personal information about yourself.
Because, if you do, you’ll probably regret it.
The woman who wrote today’s story is dealing with a neighbor who is spending way to much time worried about HER life…and it’s starting to creep her out.
Get all the details below and see what you think.
Advice please.
“Has anyone else dealt with a neighbour who seems overly interested in your personal life? I’m 20 years old and I’m looking for some outside perspectives because this situation has been bothering me for a while.
This already sounds creepy…
I live at home with my family and over the past couple of years I’ve become increasingly concerned about a neighbour on my block who appears to pay close attention to my movements especially who comes to and from my home.
This neighbour is close friends with my eldest sister (33). My two older sisters (28 and 33) do not get along at all. On several occasions it has seemed that whenever I’ve been seen with my 28 year old sister my eldest sister somehow finds out shortly afterwards.
From what I’ve observed this information appears to come from our neighbour who is either always out and about or in her front garden watching the neighbourhood.
The situation escalated last year.
This person needs to get a life…
Another piece of evidence I kept was I was accused of being seen getting out of my (28) sister’s “new” car when that was not the case. That day I had been out with a friend from school and her partner came to collect us and dropped me home.
Once again I was being watched and had false accusations made against my whereabouts which caused more drama and more conflict.
On another occasion, I returned from a trip away with my 28 year old sister. My sister (33) knew where I was going what I was doing and that I’ll come see her once I’m home it was a 24hr trip across the waters on a plane like really not that far.
She has no problem with me being out with sister (28) she knows I’m closer to sister (28) besides the point, a few days later my eldest sister confronted me about things on my social media. she has had me blocked on every platform for years and we only communicate by text on WhatsApp (she is currently blocked completely on my end in the recent weeks).
What is going on here?!?!
I later learned that this neighbour had shown my social media profile to my eldest sister not just the post from my trip away it was literally my entire page as well as my dad’s profile. That crossed a line for me because I don’t think it’s appropriate for someone else to monitor my social media and share it with family members.
It’s her fault she can’t see what I have posted because she’s got me blocked since the very beginning. I have raised my concerns with my parents. Their view is that they don’t want to create conflict because my dad works with the neighbour’s mother.
While I understand that, I also feel my privacy should matter. I don’t think it’s acceptable if someone is regularly be watching when I leave home, who I’m with or who visits my house and then passing that information on to someone else who doesn’t live in my home anymore?
I’m not frightened, but I am much more cautious now whenever I leave my home because I find myself wondering whether I’m being watched again.
On another occasion it was my mum’s birthday 2024 I was dressed up for the occasion but I was going no where and there was no plans made. My sister 33 came to visit saw me dressed up ( jeans and a blouse with some makeup), arrived and asked me where I was going.
As I mentioned there was no plans it was just a day of rest and having a quiet family birthday at home. My sister (28) came to visit for my mum’s birthday and spontaneously asked if I would like to come to a local supermarket.
This is beyond creepy.
Of course I said yes. But once again I was being watched by the neighbour who had seen me with sister (28) I then got messages saying I was a liar and that I did have plans to go out and that I should’ve just told (33) where I was going.
Why should I have to explain myself?
I did not know I was going to be asked to go to a local supermarket? Had I of known I was going to be asked to go out to a local supermarket would I have still told sister (33) absolutely not it’s irrelevant.
I don’t need anyone to know where I’m going who I’m with. I’m 20 years old I can do what I want go where I want and be with who I want it’s my own life and choice.
More recently, the situation has started creating tension for my entire family.
This person is totally unhinged.
This neighbour has now been involved in another issue where she accused my dad of talking about her mother, who he works with.
Apparently, someone contacted this neighbour and told her that a man and a woman were discussing her mother in public.
Without knowing the full details or who was actually involved, she immediately assumed it was my dad and another neighbour who also is a work colleague and lives on my block next door to the one who has been watching my whereabouts and confronted the situation based on that assumption.
My dad has no idea what was supposedly said because he wasn’t the person involved, and he has no reason to speak negatively about her mother. It feels like conclusions are being made without any evidence, and it has caused unnecessary drama between families who have to interact because of work connections.
This needs to stop NOW.
At this point, it just feels like one piece of drama after another. Every time I think things have settled down, something else seems to happen. I don’t want conflict with anyone, but I also don’t think it’s healthy to constantly feel like my personal life is being discussed or watched.
Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you deal with it?
At what point would you consider this to be an invasion of privacy or harassment? I’m interested in hearing respectful advice and other people’s experiences?
Should I go public and make a video about it? Or just even a post? I want her belittled for what she done what she caused what trauma she has created and caused.
Thank you!”

She needs to tell this lady to back off…
And she shouldn’t be nice about it, either!
Because this is the kind of situation that can quickly spiral out of control.
This neighbor needs to be put in their place immediately so all this drama will end.
