How to deal with a potential stalker?

I think I have a stalker but I don’t have actual proof that it’s happening, just this weird uncomfortable feeling.

For a little clarification, I am a 22 year old female.

Where I work, I’ve been seeing this car that is always parked directly across from where I park at night. I didn’t really think that much about it because it was always dark when I saw the car and I didn’t think anyone was in there, I just assumed that it was someone who also had a job nearby.

I don’t know what shifted for me but last night when I was walking to my car after I got off he started his car but didn’t turn on any of his lights. I thought it was a little odd but I just got in my car and left.

Tonight I was on my break and he wasn’t there, but about 15 minutes into my break he pulls up and parks directly across from me again. He was on his phone and he had it up to his face in a weird way… like you do when you take pictures.

He was doing that thing that you do with your fingers when you’re trying to zoom in on something. He was doing that the entire time that I was on break, I felt really uncomfortable and went back inside and kept watching his car throughout the night. All he did was stay in there in the dark.

Then later toward the end of my shift he came inside and was waiting in line. He’s like 6ft something and looks like he’s in his 40s, heavy white guy.

Every time I glanced up he was staring directly at me and I wasn’t even the one on the front register, I was putting things away. He did order food and went out to his car and stayed there for the rest of the night.

I had my co worker walk me to my car when I got off and I’ve just been feeling this horrible dread. I feel like he was taking pictures of me and the way that he stared at me when he came in… it just wasn’t right.

I told my family about it and they’re talking like they plan to confront him already but again I have no actual proof, just this terrifying feeling. I feel unsafe even though I have people to protect me. He’s always there every single night that I’m working.

I just need advice on how to approach this situation, I don’t want to make any direct contact with this man. I’m really scared of what he’ll do if I end up being right, I don’t think he followed me home or anything and if he did I wouldn’t know. He could be homeless and living in his car or something and I’m being completely paranoid, but I seriously have no idea. My family members are always so aggressive and ready to fight but I don’t want that, they’re telling me to call them immediately if I see him show up again.

I’m going to park in a different spot and see if he will park across from me, if he does, maybe that’s the confirmation I need. It’s a decently sized parking lot that’s usually empty aside from people working in the other stores at the outlet leaving their cars there. I’ve been trying to search for advice but most people talk about having online stalkers and as far as I’m concerned, nothing is out of the ordinary on any of my social medias, but it’s not like he could really get my name anyway since I’m never the one on the front counter.

Am I crazy? I really hope I am, I’d rather be crazy than right. I’m so incredibly nauseous and at this point I am rambling to reach the 500 character minimum. I have pepper spray that I don’t normally carry around but it looks like maybe I should start, that and I could get cameras in my car just to document what’s happening around me…
