If someone is making you feel uncomfortable you need to set some boundaries. The best thing to do would be to go ahead and confront him, as hard as that might be, and explain to him that he's making you feel uncomfortable and you would like for him to mind his own business. In a polite way. If he persists, then report him to the staff.

How to address situation with a person that is making me feel uncomfortable at the gym?
(lemmy.autism.place)
The thing is I don't know if he's really doing anything or I'm making it up in my head.
I think even if it is all in your head, confronting the guy about it is still worthwhile. If it's all harmless friendliness that's making you uncomfortable without him knowing it, then bringing it up will let him know
ok, cool. thank you ๐
