Online Stalker
Hello, so like four years ago I met this guy on Tumblr and we talked for a long time. He was nice and stuff but he eventually stopped talking to me so I started ignoring him too. Then he started pestering me with messages emotionally manipulating me to talk to him. But I havent talked to him in two years. I have changed accounts since then AND THEN I got an anonymous message from that fucker on my birthday greeting me and saying how proud he was of me. It was worded the way he talks so I was sure it's him instantly. I changed my account so IDK how he found me. Never used my pic or my name. I went on his profile and I found a recent post about how hes proud of someone and stuff. And he mentioned the word "benevolent" lots of times which is part of my username. I am going to make a Tumblr account for the last time which is frustrating because my current one is new I will have to start over. This is making me soo paranoid! I feel like I am being watched. Fucker couldnt even keep himself from messaging me. I have to have social networks for my job. And I know Ive blocked him but what if he makes spy accounts or something. I am 21 hes 25. Anyway, thoughts?
Hi @EmilyEarwig
I went through something like this a few years ago so I know how u feel it's really scary and you don't know what to do for the best, I had someone threatening me in such a bad way it was so horrible and every time I would block a report them a new profile would pop up and I'd get more abuse I got the feeling it was someone I knew but never did find out who it was!! Anyway it got so bad the police got involved but because I was putting myself out there online there was nothing they could do except check up on me and ensure my home was secure because fb wouldn't release the identity of the person!! I blocked messages from ppl I didn't know and eventually moved on from it but it was really scary at the time!! I hope you manage to shake this person and move on from it too take care x
OMG That sounds scary! I can block messages on Tumblr but he can still go on my profile and stuff or maybe use another account. I just hate the feeling I'm being watched. Maybe I'll just keep myself from posting personal posts on there and disable Asks so he doesn't feel like he still can connect with me.
I am so sorry you are going through this. Cons of the internet world.
Anyhow, I think you should block all of his known accounts. Check your security settings on all your social media accounts and set it to what you deem necessary. You can ignore any of the message you get this person. Sometimes I have seen that some people need a direct message that I don't want to continue the friendship. I respectfully tell them this, wish them well, and move on. This might not work all the time. I don't know your dynamics with this person, so you are the best judge with this person.
That said, don't give this person the power to make you feel uncomfortable. This person is only worth the importance you give this person. DO NOT look through his profile either because you are you will only end up reading between lines and wondering if he is talking about you.
