Excellent choices for stories. Much sympathy to the mother with the narcissistic ex-husband, if one has not been on the receiving end of narcisstic rage it can be hard to imagine how terrifying, life altering, and all consuming that can be. To the woman seeking psychiatric treatment for what sounds exactly like BPD with stalking tendencies (which affects approx 10-30% of those diagnosed), she too was right in stating that "Yandare" is a fantasy and not identical to actual cases -- thank you for seeking help, don't give up, you are doing something that people without mental illness struggle to do...face themselves and particularly their inner demons. Yours stems from a lack of self-esteem, possibly acquired in childhood, and/or from a genetic predisposition -- please appreciate that you cannot (do not) "love" these crushes, the obsessive behavior is filling the void for love inside yourself, and that is also why they are so easy to forget...it's not personal, it's symbolic, and that void needs to be immediately filled; you (or your subconscious rather) have no interest in truly long-distance relationships...you need slightly more tactile fulfillment. But really, it is INWARDLY, perhaps even spiritually, that you need to heal -- NO ONE can fill that emptiness, only some kind of greater energy or source of love/empathy.

I was the same. Some feelings definitely arose in me when I heard the story. I stalked one guy and I feel immense guilt about it. Thankfully I never got so bad as to find out where they lived or follow them outside of school. And I didn't follow in school either, so much as I just actively sought a glance of him often. I did, however, stalk him online wherever I could find him. I even got his phone number because one day he announced it aloud to the classroom. I creepily wrote it down and messaged him in secret. It was extremely creepy and the messages were doubly so. And cringy. I regret it deeply and think about messaging him to apologize often. But I worry that he'd rather I never, ever appear in his life again. So I just apologize silently, often. I hope he doesn't ever think about me. I want him to forget the part I played in his past. But I doubt that. I must have left a mark on him. And I will never forgive myself for that. Also, OP, would you mind elaborating on what your therapist said about it being because of childhood trauma? I definitely endured a lot with a narcissistic father and an emotionally-absent mother. How could that have lead me to stalking?

I live in Gallows Hill which has another name so not to deter new property buyers into our neighbourhood. It is haunted, yet safe. I have one spirit for a guardian. He has saved my life over 20 times from multiple dangers like stalkers, rapists, murderers, etc, also from demons and vultures. He previously saved my life from few heart attacks, brain haemorrhages, fires, choking, etc. I got him by a prayer to God, when I asked for a deliverance from demonic attacks. Since the prayer, he has never left my side. At first, I was petrified of him, just because he was an unseen spirit whom I could not see. I misunderstood him, therefore. It took me few years to acclimatise to his presence and realise him as my guardian.

Just a note about the first story... It isn't only men that stalk and act predatory. I'm a man and I used to have a creepy stalker girl that would show up to my work in my younger days. I used to have a retail job and all my coworkers and other managers kept telling me it was funny and cute. But the girl did and said some weird and obsessive stuff. I won't go into detail, but let's just say that if the genders were reversed and I was the female then I guarantee my coworkers wouldn't have found it funny... So men are subjected to stalkers just as much as women, and the situation is often dismissed because we are men and in the eyes of most people we can handle it so it's no big deal.

@cosmikjesse61232 жыл бұрын
This story is a little different because i’m a guy and my stalker is a guy. This stalker showed me what girls are going through when they get stalked by a guy. What happened to me was straight out of a movie. Flashback nearly a year ago I had just dumped my girlfriend. When I went through this break up it was hard for me to not have my friends around me, and I was trying to make new friends to keep my mind at ease as a distraction. Now I met this guy who seemed really cool when I first met him and we hit it off having interesting conversations. In my eyes at first he was a straight heterosexual dude, but apparently he had a hidden motive that he wanted from me. i’ve always been a pretty trusting person that has always been naive that not everyone is a good person just like all my close friends. My friends warned me that something was off about him but since i try to see the good in everyone I scratched their doubt about him off my shoulders. One day I took this dude to hang out with me at my house and vent about my ex girlfriend just to let it all out. Like I typed it was hard to be alone even at my house, so that’s why I brought him over to just hang out. The dude offered me weed gummies and me being naive and trusting took a lot of them thinking I was going to get a great high on weed. Now what followed disturbs me, I know what a weed high was like and the stuff this dude gave me was probably some kind of roofie drug. I started projectile vomiting everywhere in my house, while looking like this guy with a bad feeling in my gut that something terrible was going to happen. After I puked I laid down in my bed and had absolutely no control over my body. I could not move. I won’t go to much into detail but I got roofied by this guy and was getting sexually assault. I was helpless whatever drug this was made it so I couldn’t move my body and I began to start passing out. I knew what it felt like to be one of those girls you hear about getting roofied and sexually assaulted, the feeling of being completely helpless. In the morning I woke up and the dude was next to me, so my alarms started racing and I knew this guy probably carried a weapon so I acted like nothing happened and dropped him off and left immediately. Then I filed a police report but it had no effect at the time because I had no idea what this freaks real name was. At this time I was 20 and live alone because I started paying rent when I was only 17. Right now i’m almost 21. When I thought this was a end to a disturbing experience with a freak I was calm but didn’t know this guy was watching me closely even though I told him I never wanted to hear from him or see his face ever again in call and text message. Fast forward my next door neighbor who lives next to me with a dozen cameras came up to my house and told me he has been seeing this dude wearing a hoodie pass back and fourth past my house day and night. I thought that was weird but didn’t give it to much though that it was that dude that roofied me. Fast forward I was having fun with friends late at the bar right next to my house and decided to drive home to my place that was super close to my house. When I got to my house the time was 3 AM and I had my normal routine of getting in cozy clothes and getting the food out of my fridge. At my house I have sliding glass doors close to my fridge. Three minutes after I got home Doing my normal routine I hear knocking behind me coming from the sliding glass door. So I turn around this stalker started screaming from the other side of the sliding glass door, “I just want to talk.” I scream, “get out of here i’m calling the police!” And the stalker runs away immediately after. I was horrified this stalker was so crazy that he was waiting late until 3 AM for me to get home to confront me at my sliding glass door. Meaning I didn’t even see him while I was walking into my house because he was hiding and lurking watching me. It all made sense to me after that confrontation that my neighbor seeing a dude pass by in a hoodie by my house everyday was my stalker. The next day he came to the bar to stalk me and I got the owners to kick him out of the place immediately. I was so sketched out and that house I was renting out was so sketchy that I started looking for a new place to live. Fast forward I got back in a relationship with my ex girlfriend and just to illustrate how sketched out I was that he would break into my house and do who knows what my girlfriend witnessed my pulling the dresser i front of my bedroom door every night. The first time she saw that she said “my poor baby you’re messed up in the head from that past experience.” No matter what I texted or called to leave me alone he would text me death threats and everything above the rainbow. The police currently wed investigating him hence why no police contacted him and they didn’t contact him about it until we get all the information because we didn’t want him to go crazy and try something violent. I eventually found out this guys full name and apparently he’s a serial rapist to both kids and grown men. Eventually I moved away and this sicko still tries to text me to this day and I of course ignore all of it. I finally feel safe but always look over my shoulder knowing I have a seriously sick stalker. Now I trust no new people and never will be trusting of anyone ever again. Some people are predators in sheep clothing. Hopefully our paths never cross again.

So I 100% understand your story. Please stay safe out there.

I have had 2 stalkers in my life. One was in my senior year of high school. A old boyfriend. I had no idea he was stalking me. I just couldn’t figure out why when I went out with someone they were not speaking to me anymore. Then one of my guy friends when I was talking to him about my problem told me you mean you don’t know? I said no what tell me? He told me that after the guys would drop me off at my house he would stop them and threaten to beat them up. He was a fairly big guy and well known in our small part of the city. Anyway I met someone that had just graduated from a different area of our city. So the stAlker wasn’t sure he could scare him like the other guys. When I began dating the other guy I had to tell him. It was only fair. I told him and to my delight he said show me a pic, I just want to know who I’m dealing with. One night when he left me at my house he decided if the guy came after him he was going to stop and deal with it. We had double dated so one of his friends was with him so he stopped and told him ok if we are going to fight let’s get on. Suddenly the bully decided it wasn’t worth it cause my guy wasn’t as small as some of the others he’d scared away. That was the end of it. Thank God.

Because it not healthy for you to be that obsessed with someone that you won’t ever get to know. It must be hard to know so much about that person, without actually knowing them. Or knowing so much about them and they don’t even know you exist can’t be easy for you and can cause insecurities. Maybe if you like someone and you’ve seen them on social media, maybe reach out and get to know them as friends instead.Msybe that person would like to know you too, but if not move on and get to know someone else? Would that help, I’m sorry if I came across as rude or anything, I’m just trying to help.

Ladies! Take that advice. Tape and record everything your stalker does. I had a stalker between the ages of 22 and 25. He was never caught! The only reason he stopped stalking me was because I started playing the game a way he didn't like. I started recording him and I let him know. I told him every time he said something fucked up that I had it on tape. He finally stopped after about 6 months of me being like yeah say some more let me get more evidence...

One word: sasaeng. They are terrifying. Go to great lengths to get noticed, including stalking, harassing, and even physically assaulting them. For example, pulling their hair, shoving them. One even went on stage and tried to kidnap a girl group member. One member was like nope, and followed. Nayeon's was on the plane with hers, it's a rabbit hole of information.

oof the sm boy group sasaengs were insane from what i saw in some videos. they're still insane with nct but the 2nd gen dudes from different companies had so many people physically assaulting them and stuff. that nayeon stalker guy is literally deranged.

I'm surprised the lawyer in the 2nd story suggested taping the phone calls cuz that's highly illegal. Unless you tell the person on the other end of the line that you are recording them it's an illegal wiretap!

@@IskanderKhan I was thinking it was completely illegal on the federal level but it actually goes the other way. Federal statutes allow any private citizen to record conversations as long as one party consents. So it's actually only law enforcement that needs authorization (a warrant) to record

There is a fine line between love and hate. You can be obsessed with someone when you love them or hate them to the point where you try and watch their every move. But we all know when it becomes too unhealthy or weird. Most people know what's right from wrong.

Love your channel! Have to say though, in story 2 I was amazed to hear you say, good access to well funded women’s centres! Sorry but that couldn’t be more wrong. Many many women and their poor kids can’t find anywhere to go to be safe, there are long lists for a bed in a safe place, and they are very under funded!

My tentative theory is that people who have an obsessive nature should find a calling that requires obsession for success- like, dancing, musical instruments, journalism, historical archiving, etc. We put so much emphasis on romantic success in our culture that it pounds the joy out of everything else.

@@rosesblood See, with artistic endeavors ( or even academic endeavors) you can teach yourself that your obsessive love is being shared to the world. It really is a kind of love. And believe me, I’ve had to wrestle with my love Joneses before I even knew there was a clinical name for it, and it took me 50 odd years to even figure out this was even an option. The last time I was afflicted, I used prayer, as corny as that might sound to some folk. When I was lonely or jealous or pining away, I would picture the innocent target in my head, and repeat the Doxology in my head- “The Lord bless you and keep you,” etc. It actually seemed to help- it helped me to honor my own capacity for deep love without inflicting it on anybody else. And the religious tradition from which I come ( or at least my interpretation of it) designates God as the origin of pure love in all its forms.

😂 back in 1997 or so, it occurs to me, I was that creepy stalker guy! My then gf, now wife seemed to say an awful lot then, that it wasn't going to work out, she didn't feel the way I did, saw no future with me, etc, and I kept "accidentally" driving by her house, that I now have lived in for 24years! 😂 and "bumping into her everywhere" now, after 2 kids, countless dogs (3 currently) and 24 years of happy marriage, I guess I'm pretty happy I had stalker mentality back then, and didn't give up! 😂 otherwise my wife and I wouldn't have the lives we do now. Seems so crazy now, thinking how I was then! Haha.
