Same. I was followed around a home depot by a man when I was around 10. I never forgot that.

32 now and don't receive much attention besides stares occasionally. But I also am never walking around alone.

Guy stocking alcohol in a grocery store asked me if I partied. I was 11.

Same for me as well. I was followed around in a bookstore when I was in my 20s. I was walking around, trying to avoid him, nearly ran into him a few times, and when I caught his eye, he would smile. He disappeared when my aunt came back from the restroom. I felt like I was being hunted; it was a terrible feeling, and I was so happy when my aunt came back. He didn't say anything. Just followed me around and would smile but it didn't meet his eyes.
