If anyone can help me figure out how to deal with this, I would really appreciate it. I’m a 24-year-old single mom living alone, and I don't really have anyone to talk to about this stuff. I recently found out I’m a 12th house placements person, so I tend to isolate myself, I'm working on it tho.
Lately, it feels like my energy is completely drained because of two women in their 60s who live in my building. They have this weird fixation on me, and I can literally feel them monitoring my life. The very first time I interacted with them, they immediately started asking extremely invasive questions about my family life, my son's dad, etc. once the fire alarm went off in my building, and when I went downstairs to see what was going on, (it was a false alarm) I saw one of them there. She was literally staring at me heavily, like deeply into my soul trying to figure me out. It wasn't a quick look, she legit was staring at me super hard, and I could feel it from the side of my eyes. she does this every time she sees me.
It's actually incredibly uncomfortable, and since they are older than me, sometimes I have trouble setting boundaries (I know it's bad) because I don't want to come off mean. I just don't get what is so intriguing about me.
It got even weirder when one of them gave me total stalker vibes. Based on the little bit I told her about my son's dad, she actually went out of her way to look him up online, found someone, and texted me to ask if it was him ( i barely even know her) it really just feels like she’s trying to dig up information on me. She practically begged for my number under the guise of wanting to help me and let her into my life, but in the end, she never actually did anything. That's when it clicked for me that it was all just a tactic to get a foot in the door, gain access to my life, and gossip about me later. evey time she was around me it was always just to ask invasive questions about me. In fact, I've already caught her letting it slip a few times that she’s been talking about me to her friends, and that's when I finally started to see her true colours. Honestly, I've been thinking about moving because of this, but I know I'll probably just find problems everywhere.
What makes it even worse is that one of them is a Gemini and the other is a Virgo. Since they are both Mercury signs and Gemini falls directly in my 12th house, I have every reason to believe they are my hidden enemies. I didn't see it at first, but I've started to see the mask slip lately, and now I get this deeply unsettling feeling every single time I have to talk to them. sorry i know this is long.

I’m really frustrated with older women being intimidated by younger ones. Their passive-aggressiveness and backhanded compliments are so obvious. I’m 24 and live in a building mostly filled with elderly people. Recently, a 60-year-old woman jokingly told me I wear makeup for male attention. I wear makeup as a form of self-expression, especially since I’m in cosmetology school.

What’s even more confusing is that she never used to wear makeup and has claimed she’s not into that kind of stuff. Yet, right after making that weird comment to me, she suddenly started wearing it. It just feels insincere and adds to the overall tension.

I don’t understand why it bothers her so much. This woman has made me uncomfortable before, and I see right through her. Can we please be more secure in ourselves and our ages instead of picking on younger women? It’s frustrating! I dealt with this kind of behavior from my foster mom, so I recognize the signs.

I hope that when I reach her age, I won’t be a miserable old lady trying to bring younger women down. I want to be someone who supports and guides them instead. It really triggers me, and it’s everything I don’t want to become as I grow older
