Mostly hormones? Or am I right in being very suspicious….

My neighbor (she is elderly) is a full time caregiver to her brother-in-law who lives with her that has downs and he is a gem, but she also has a son (i think, or someone related) who lives in her shed in the back yard. (They converted it into a bedroom situation.) it backs up right against my property but we just got that side of our yard fenced so not as big of a deal. (side note: The reason i bring up her brother in law is because i am unsure if she is potentially a sort of care giver for the other son/relative.) Our elderly neighbor is the absolute best, she is so kind and i love her.

Anyways, the man who lives in the shed is in his 40s is my guess. I’m not sure if he has some underlying condition that i don’t know about, but he is very awkward socially. He will feed my dog treats under the fence and has since we have lived here, which he didn’t ask me if he could but she’s not dead yet and it seems to make him happy, and i just feel like there isn’t that big of a concern there.

With all of that, the things that are starting to bother me are as follows.

1. He usually walks his dogs in the evening. But recently i have noticed that when i walk my dog he is almost always out as well. Even though i see him normally walk his dog hours earlier than i normally do. It makes me wonder if he is purposely walking his dogs again just to walk past us. (Possibly because he misses being able to see our dog?) either way, it weirds me out a little that i see him so often when i do not walk a clear schedule or route but seem to see him a lot.

2. One of his dogs is really nice while the other is really mean and scares me. The mean one will bare it’s teeth and lunge at my dogs neck and then they start to fight. This has happened so many times that whenever i see him i try to walk in the road or on the other side but he always just lets his dogs pull him to us and they ALWAYS fight. And of course i want to think my dog is perfect, which of course she is, but she isn’t a submissive dog. She doesn’t usually initiate a fight but she will participate and not submit if another dog is instigating it. Anyways, he told MY dog to “hey, be nice” after he was the one who came into the road where i had gone to get away from him. And he always lets them pull him to us and fight and it’s driving me crazy!!!

What I’m trying to ask is, am i being more hormonal/protective than normal, or is this guy getting creepy and possibly stalking/following me…

I always walk with someone else if the sun has gone down. And I’ve been listening to my favorite murder (a murder podcast) which makes me even more suspicious of him and his weird tendencies. After 4 years of living here he has always given me creepy vibes but only recently have i actually started to get annoyed with it and i don’t know what to do about it. I also am unsure about what to do if he in fact does have a disability I’m unaware of and how to react while keeping that in mind.

I feel like that wasn’t the most eloquently written story but i hope you guys can understand where i am coming from 🙏🏼 also, please be nice I’m sensitive. 🙃❤️
