For years, my area was peaceful. But ever since COVID, things have changed. A big group of guys goon-like behavior started gathering at the ground near my house, supposedly to play cricket. But now, it’s gone way beyond that.
They hang out late into the night, drinking, shouting, fighting, and making the place loud and unsafe. I don’t know any of them. I’m not part of their group or lifestyle, and honestly, I try to mind my own business. But for some reason, they seem to have a problem with me.
Every time I step out of the housewhether it’s to go to work or just for something small they stare at me like they’re looking for a fight. They make mocking comments, always indirectly, like they’re trying to provoke me but still keeping enough deniability to avoid consequences. It’s constant, unsettling, and draining.
They also give creepy looks with passing women and making the space feel unsafe. But since they’re careful not to do anything directly, I don’t have “proof” to file a complaint, and I’m scared they might retaliate if I try.
I’m a simple guy. I don’t cause trouble, I don’t have connections, and I keep to myself. But this situation is affecting my peace.
Has anyone been through something similar? What should I do?
