I had a stalker on Instagram and so I got rid of him
Being harassed today is much simpler than before. Years ago there was one or another freak that could spy on you from the window, but these days you only need to be found in IG or some other social network and if you do not have the defenses of your active accounts, I assure you that they are going to strain several men with mental problems. Like the one that slipped into me. I had an Insta-stalker and fortunately, I could get rid of him.
You have a Dm
I often receive direct messages in my IG, I am an illustrator and many times people look for me to take photos or collaborations. So I usually answer who does not look so suspicious after having stalked a good time. However, I also have some smart guys who just want to "flatter me for my talent." That's how this upset man started talking to me. He sent me a message flattering my way of drawing, I answered a cordial thank you.
I want to be your friend
I am a kind person but I tend to be very sharp with men, especially those I know on social networks. After thanking this guy, he started asking me to be my friend, he told me he looked like I liked animals (because I have pictures of my cat in my IG) So he started telling me the thousand and one wonders of his mice, his cat and the lizard he had as a pet. I talk a little to see his true intentions, sometimes they are just false accounts that people use to make jokes. This looked relatively normal, although it was seen that this boy was not sociable because of the number of likes in his publications. I told him to apologize but I was not looking for friendships at the moment and did not see that we could get along. I also suggested that having me in IG was not going to please his girlfriend. He told me instantly "is that we are already half bad" Which I do not care because after all, I was not going to continue with that conversation.
Piolin images every day
Men tend to be very persistent, sometimes I feel bad enough to get to the point of being rude, but after telling me the whole story with his girlfriend which I didn't even read. Every day he started sending me images of those that your aunt from Google takes to say good morning. I started to get annoyed but I thought that by leaving it insight at some point I would understand. And of course, he didn't ...
He saw one of my stories and chased me
I know what you think I should have blocked it forever, but with so much work and things in my mind, the last thing that worried me was to address the mental problems of this person. One day in the morning I posted that I was in the gym, a big and serious mistake. The gym I attend is inside a shopping plaza. I left the gym with one of my friends and headed to breakfast. At the entrance of the gym was a man. It was literally that person but with 10 years more than in the photos. I did not notice immediately until he approached me and greeted me. I was very confused, I answered the greeting and he asked me why I didn't answer his messages. At that moment I started shaking, my gym friend was super confused. I told him we weren't friends and please leave me alone.
You don't have to be so rude
He insisted that I didn't know him and I couldn't be so prejudiced not to give him a chance to be my friend. I told him that I didn't have such old friends and he started laughing, he said he wasn't an old man either. At this time my friend was already pressed to my arm and we were both in a running position. Fortunately, a coach saw us and went out to see if there was a problem. That served to make the subject leave and leave us alone. But not for much longer.
My friend and I decided to change places for breakfast
Both in our respective car, we went to a restaurant very close there. We arrived and began to feel safe again, but at mid-breakfast, I realized that this guy had followed us. It was just a few tables behind us behind a plant (like a horror movie). There I began to think about the worst, two single women and a crazy man who knows what he was going to do to us. I spoke to the same instructor who, thank God, asked permission and came out in our rescue. Upon arriving at the restaurant he sat where this man could see him and brought another coach that helped the subject leave the restaurant in a few minutes.
The scare of my life
I really hope you never go through what I have never been so scared in my whole life. I stopped going to the gym for several days and began to feel paranoia being at home. With telling you that I went to my parents' house for a week to live because I was really scared. I had already blocked this subject from my Instagram but I forgot that my FB remained. He sent me a very unpleasant message saying that I could not believe that someone was so prejudiced and more when he had even chased me to breakfast to be invited. I took a photo of the conversation and told him that if he did not stop bothering me he would take legal action on the case. Definitely block it and hope for the best.
He never showed up again at the gym and I have never seen him hanging around or anything. Thank God it was nothing more than a scare but that my experience will help you never to answer any strange person. If you see that person begins to have strange behaviors. Do not give a chance to anything. Simply block it.
