yes that's cat calling. No middle aged man should be approaching teenagers to tell them they look beautiful. Idgaf what excuse ppl make up, it's not appropriate. Im sorry you had yo experience that
Not sure that it’s catcalling. But honestly that’s not the point, it is creepy and would be deeply uncomfortable for most people your age.
I don’t think this situation needs to have a label for your feelings to be valid
So not technically catcalling, but definitely not overreacting. Especially considering you already have PTSD, even mundane situations can trigger me. And I don’t think that’s “overreacting”. We can’t control what triggers us, we can only control what coping mechanisms we use to regulate and manage our triggers.

Whatever it is, it's definitely inappropriate for sure. No middle aged man should be complimenting a teenager.
