At Oz Comic Con I had my first creepy experience!
A mid-40's man approached me and said "Clarissa!"
And I was like "what?" and he said "Clarissa!" and I was like "no sorry" and he was like "From game of thrones!" and I corrected him "Oh, Khaleesi".
At this point I was feeling a bit obligated to talk to him but I really wanted to just wave and walk away.
He then grabbed me and hugged me!
It felt like torture, it was just extremely creepy and I was very uncomfortable.
He then said "Oh i should have asked you if I could hug you"
And I said "Yes, you should have"
And then I smiled and waved and got away as quick as possible.
In my past experience people have asked me for hugs and I have obliged but in this instance I already had red flags from this man who was twice my age and standing super close to me so I wanted to make the interaction as quick as possible. I practically ran away from him until I was out of his sight.
