For some context, I’m 23f. My brother (14m) used to be friends with a boy (14m), who started hanging out with the wrong crowd, developing a bad attitude, getting suspended from school. Luckily, my brother and he are no longer friends and haven’t spoken to each other for a while, which is good because neither me nor mom really liked him.

I was walking home after buying some clothes and he came out of nowhere and ran towards me and said “Hey, Aunt Nessa” (my name is not nessa) and then he clutched onto my arm and walked with me. He said he would he would hold my bag for me. I was holding a bag with jeans and three tops, I don’t know what he wanted to take from it but I wasn’t going to risk him running away with anything. I was also very uncomfortable with him holding me and I was just scared in general, I didn’t know if he was on drugs or something, so I told him to go away and I shook my arm to get him off.

He let go of my arm but he didn’t leave, he walked behind me so I told him to stop following me, but he didn’t stop. I said again assertively stop following me but he kept following me until I got my phone out. I said I would call the cops if he doesn’t leave, then he called me selfish and self-centered (i’m summarizing), then he left.

I took the long way home because I didn’t know if he was doing a gang initiation or trying to follow me home. I googled the phrase ‘Aunt Nessa’ and nothing comes up so I don’t know what I did that was self-centered or selfish unless he was just trying to threaten or offend me. AITA?
