would YOU be freaked out???

i dont know if this will trigger...but talks about a peeping tom


i dont know where this belongs but i just walked out of the bathroom in my towel...no one was home except my boyfriend so there is no reason to say...well you shouldnt have been only in a towel...but as i was exiting the bathroom (my boyfriend was in there too) and the doorbell rang.....and i was in direct line of their door...the door has a big oval window but there is a curtain blocking any view except a little rectangle at the very bottom ...and i froze...two eyes were staring at me in my towel...now any smart person would run but i froze...these eyes didnt leave they just kept staring at me....i feel so...violated...it ended up being his uncle...and i am very upset and freaked out....its not right to stare at someone in their towel...i mean he was bent over and peeping...ok ok i know there are accidents of seeing things you dont want to see...but a NORMAL person would jerk away not keep staring.....am i right to feel freaked out??? I should get over it but i was so scared that my boyfriend had to talk me through in what to do...go to your room...get your robe.....open the door....i still shaking...i mean i had nothing uncovered..but i am a prude....for many good reasons...would you be freaked out?? Or am i overreacting ........help!!!

You may be over reacting just a little. He may have not been staring at you because you were in a towel-he was probably antisapating your answering the door. I watch people walk towards me if I'm expecting them to open a door for me.
He may have been looking for his nephew-your boyfriend- to appear, too.

It's okay-you were probably triggered by a memory. I don't think your boyfriend's uncle will hurt you. ((((((((((You're safe)))))))))))))

I caught a guy looking through my curtains once...it freaked me out. I started keeping a baseball bat by the door...I am not sure exactly what I would have done with the bat but it made me feel better to have it. I am not suggesting you get a baseball bat. But, anyway, it took me awhile to get over it.

i probably did freak out alittle too much by it...i am positive he meant no harm...and my boyfriend pointed out he probably only saw a shadow since i was so far down the hallway....but me and my stupid paranoia ......oh gezz ...well i wish i would be so stupid all the time feeling like this or that...as everyone tells me...you just need to relax...its just i dont KNOW how to relax....ok ..see im rambling...rambling at 1 am..not relaxing....grrr...ok ill shut up sorry...

InACorner,
Don’t shut up about this—even if you post a zillion times. Your feelings are valid and I hope you don’t just ignore them. Really, it does not matter how much the guy saw—even if it was just a shadow. What matters is how you feel about it. Give yourself some time and compassion.

I can imagine you were surprised...and perhaps embarrassed. However....I think your bf's uncle was feeling the same thing! Doesnt sound like he was trying to be intrusive....he was only knocking on the door. It would be kind of shocking though.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad-I was trying to reassure you. Sorry about making you feel like you did something wrong. I don't want you to feel that. I just want you to feel safe.

pickle-no worries...you didnt make me feel bad at all pickle...made me feel alittle better actually (((pickles)))

thanks to all you guys ((Depressme)) ((Anniel))

Oh, yes, I'd be really freaked out! I will tape the shades to the window frame so there is no crack where someone can peek in at me, especially at night. Cannot stand the thought of someone being able to see me and I can't see them. To look and see anyone looking in at me would send me off the deep end. But, that's me and I've been this way for years.
((((((((((((((((InACorner))))))))))))))))) Hope your feeling better.
