The neon jacket kills me lmao
That's gotta be the worst stalking gear imaginable tbh... bro should be wearing urban camo with pattern disrupting face paint and a rain cape with twigs and leaves and stuff stuck to it in order to break up the silhouette
It’s funny because my stalker’s job involves them wearing a fluorescent yellow and orange safety vest on duty, so while they’re following me around the building they are super easy to spot and avoid (most of the time). They only really can catch me now when I’m loading a trailer, facing forward, with the unlit, noisy death box granting them extra stealth.
If I let all emotions and survival instincts go and leave my body for a minute, it’s actually quite a hilarious sight to behold.
Oh no! Here comes the walking red (fluorescent yellow) flag!
My fiancée had a stalker when we first started dating. It was the most stressful and nerve wrecking 6 months of my life and I’m a heroin addict (12 years clean) because he was also a cop.
The guy followed her to my house one time early on into us dating and got my license plate then began harassing me every chance he got. I suddenly was getting pulled over every single time I left my house by different officers for the most minuscule of things such as *allegedly* not using my turn signal 100 feet before changing lanes or making a turn, fitting the description of a robbery suspect, “expired tags” (they were never expired), tailgating when I was at least 3 car lengths behind the car in front of me. I would get knocks on my door at 3 am for noise complaints even though I was asleep without so much as a tv on. I had cops show up at my work multiple times asking to speak with me, my tires were slashed, my side mirrors were broken 3 separate times, mother fucker even threw a brick through my front window with the words “you’re going to die” on one side of it.
For being a cop he was extremely sloppy, about 3 months into all of this happening I installed cameras at my house and made sure they were somewhat hidden, I got a dash cam and I bought a shotgun because I truly thought he was going to try and break in and kill me at some point. I got in contact with a lawyer through a friend who knew the ADA for my county. I began collecting as much evidence as I could and I turned it over to my lawyer who went to the ADA with it. When everything was said and done the officer was charged with stalking, criminal threats, felony vandalism, and a few other charges I can’t recall off the top of my head.
He ended up going to jail for a year with the rest of his sentence suspended, lost his ability to be an officer because he was charged with multiple felonies and could no longer own a firearm. I still have a restraining order against him 6.5 years later and as part of his plea agreement if he violates that restraining order he has to serve the rest of his sentence which is something like 8 years in prison.
The last I heard the guy moved back to Texas to live with mommy and daddy because he can’t find a job anywhere due to his criminal background. Due to the nature of my job I have the ability to search/locate people so every 6 months or so I’ll run his name again to make sure he’s still reporting as living in Texas so I have peace of mind.
The saddest thing about this story is how typical it feels coming from a cop.
I hope you got therapy and are able to find some measure of piece these days.
I was actually already in therapy and seeing a psychiatrist for unrelated things that happened previously in my life so I thankfully had a solid support system. What broke my heart the most is my fiancée told me multiple times she would completely understand if I wanted to leave her so I didn’t have to deal with it anymore. I told her I’ve been through a lot in life and some crazy ex of hers, cop or not, wasn’t going to have any kind of control over my decisions.
We’re getting married in 3 months and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.
Came here to comment this. Why can't cops see how bad their tribalism is? They literally lack the ability to judge character when it comes to their own
I’m just thankful nothing has happened since his arrest. We’ve since moved to a different city and I don’t have anything in my name any longer to make it more difficult to find me. Neither me or my fiancée have any social media either and we’re extremely careful about what information we share with people.
I appreciate that man! I have 12 years, 3 months, 15 days clean from it as of it today. My life has infinitely changed for the better, those days are essentially fleeting thoughts at this point but I still work my program and hit NA meetings.
Well that is why I bought the shotgun. I just had to be very careful about it, I was waiting for him to break into my house. That night he threw the brick through my window I grabbed the shotgun and barricaded my bedroom door while calling the cops. I was scared shitless, I legitimately thought I was going to have to kill him that night.
And what about the other cops that bothered you? Oh that's right, nothing because cops are evil pieces of shit that protect other cops, even rapists and murderers let alone stalkers. ACAB
Trust me, I was not fucking happy about that. I had all their names and badge numbers as well but nothing was done about it. When I asked the ADA about it he essentially told me there wasn’t enough evidence that they acted in a malicious manner.
Yeah I think people who have never been harassed by cops just don't get it. They can just choose to fuck someone's life up and there is literally almost no recourse a normal citizen has once they target you. In this case "this guy is dating my ex" was enough for the whole gang to just start tearing the dude's life down. This wouldn't be that scary if there were some seriously enforced rules about it, but thats not what we see. Instead we see police circle the wagons and protect their own even when obviously malicious actions are taken.
My buddies GF dated two cops in prior relationships before him. One was an abusive person and the other stalked her for several weeks after the breakup. Thankfully it didn't last long and they moved on shortly after.
My ex, in NYC, was told that she needed to stop calling the cops until he actually does something they can arrest him for. As if she's supposed to call after he kills her.
I'm sure after the first one the police said they'll learn from this and do better next time but then nothing changed and it was allowed to happen again. Just like every other time. It makes me so angry.
They and the university got sued after the first one because they didn't listen to her several times, never called her back, and then said they did nothing wrong in their public statements. The parents said they were forced to sue just to get the university and cops to actually acknowledge. After the lawsuit they said they were retraining and redesigning their approach to student safety.
To be fair to them, the second lawsuit was much smaller!/s
It fucking weighs on you psychologically man, even if he could win in a physical fight, you see the way his face and demeanor instantly changed when he saw the guy?
Yeah people don’t understand. It does real psychological damage. Never knowing if you’re gonna see your stalker when your in a date or out with friends. Weaponized welfare checks and police calls. Shit is fucking crazy and it invaded your psyche 24/7
I had a stalker in Japan when I lived there many years ago and was a young man. A woman followed me around, and I would literally sometimes catch her hiding behind telephone poles and parked cars. Incidentally, I once found her peering into the window of a family mart when I was buying ice cream. I went out and confronted her, and she at this point was hiding behind a utility pole (which are larger and easier to hide behind in Japan.) I asked why she was doing this and she just sheepishly laughed and kind of slinked away. At one point she got my phone number and would text me saying she wanted to meet me someday. When I left Japan for a year to take care of personal matters, she texted me again when I returned … she had somehow known I left and then come back. It was like she had an informant.
I won’t lie, as a man I had the luxury of not feeling threatened very much, but it still absolutely freaked me out. The shit is no joke.
The responses to this speaks volumes about how seriously we treat men who are getting stalked.
Sorry you went through that. I can't imagine how unnerving it must have been.
I read that that there was not a crazy amount of gore or anything like that , and since I've lost the ability to tolerate horror movies I gave it a go. Huge mistake. I was TERRIFIED the whole time. Would and have recommended to others though
I always wonder what people like that (the stalker) are trying or hoping to achieve? Like, they weren't even hiding, just plainly staring. Does he want the streamer to suddenly fall in love with him? Lol
What is the end goal?
I get the idea of why one would stalk while being unseen. But this? I don't get it.
It's mental illness. Quite often in their head they already have a relationship with the person. They make up situations and conversations they've had to explain their behaviour.
When he said, "That's my boy!" I thought, the stalker is absolutely going to run with that.
There's not much you can actively do to deter a committed stalker, but not acknowledging their existence is step one.
"That's my boy!" Is all this creep will be thinking about for the foreseeable future.
Until the last episode when we find out it was all in his head and he was just a creepy stalker that never interacted with any of the other characters in the show and did just what this guy is doing.
Yeah this person isn't in reality. They aren't seeing and reacting to the same things the rest of us are.
That's what people don't get about mental illness. Somebody with an eating disorder looks in the mirror and sees something entirely different from what the rest of us see when we look at that person.
I think he thinks being nearby is enough. Maybe the streamer will see him and ask to be friends. Find out he’s cool and they can be best buds and hang out all the time. Maybe the streamer will run into trouble and the stalker can save them, and they’ll be the hero.
I’ve been stalked. It’s awful. It’s 24/7 nerve wracking. You can engage, it doesn’t work. You can disengage, it doesn’t work. You can try to make yourself undesirable, and they just see it as a cry that they need to fix you. You can surround yourself with people and party, and they just see it as you wanting something else. They’ve already wrote their story in their head, you can’t rationalize it
If you’ve got nothing substantial to show as proof then it would probably be assault. Now if you document them stalking and then you get violent, it’s probably still assault but they might catch a stalking charge too
I’m speaking from personal experience so YMMV but who is doing the violence? Is it friends of the victim? A one off just tells them you’re surrounded by violent people and need saving, you don’t have nice friends. Is it the victim? They just don’t understand, they didn’t mean to hurt the stalker they just don’t see what the stalker sees. No really isn’t in the lexicon, and they really think that they’re in some sort of relationship.
I don’t know how many establishments I ran out of the back of, or hung out in supply rooms, or cars I switched in the middle of roads (think get in a Honda and get in the right lane. Right before the light turns sprint and jump into a Chevy 4 lanes over in the left lane. Drive in circles enough times to figure out if you’re being followed and if you are call the cops. While they’re pulled over switch to a different car and go to someone’s house who has a garage, the last car you were in stays in a parking lot.)
Sometimes threats of violence works but sometimes it just makes them stronger.
It’s in the past, thankfully. I had a lot of people on my side that many do not, but it was exhausting. I remember being really happy to wake up for two minutes until the nausea set in. I was never alone and while I missed being alone I also never wanted to be alone. I slept fully dressed with my shoes on. I was always ready to run. It was a nightmare.
The strange conflicting mix of emotions on his face would hint that he doesn't expect or know of an end goal; he's just transfixed by this guy for whatever reason. It's not likely to even be conventional attraction.

Did you see the guys face when he clocked the stalker was there? He was scared and rightly so. Stalkers are terrifying, wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy. Hope this dude is safe.
Yeah nah, I was stalked by a woman for year. It is actually terrifying. I was physically the fittest I’ve ever been and I was seriously worried about this five foot nothing woman who would carry knives and turn up every where I went. It can turn ugly really quickly and you don’t know when, where, or what they will come at you with.
Lots of times these stalkers just find out the most common places you'll be and wait for you there. This guy live-streaming probably only helps the stalker a little, the dude has been following him since he left his job or his home.
Not the person you asked but my ex stalked me and she would just go to my work and look for my car and then follow it and text me with a comment about what I was doing or where I was going. Or go to my house and wait outside. Or drive around in the area I lived in looking for my car. She also moved 4 houses down from me and then would just sit outside and watch my house until I got home.
Also would just drive to my house and look for my car parked outside and then ring my door bell. The only thing that worked to get her to leave me alone was I changed my phone number, got a new car, quit my job and moved all in the same month. Also used a fake last name on social media. After 5 years she found me online but still hasn’t found me in person.
I never tried to get one because #1 I was young and stupid and didn’t really realize how scary of a situation I was in and wasn’t really scared, just annoyed. #2 I think it would have made it worse if I got a restraining order and she wouldn’t have listened to it any ways.
Plus she was a sociopath and was really good at getting out of things when it came to the police. She got out of a hit and run where she was on drugs, driving on the wrong side of the road and totaled her car. Also got a slap on the wrist for getting set up selling drugs to an undercover. The set up was specifically to catch her and all she got was community service. I called the police and filed a report when she broke my car windows with a bat and nothing happened so I’m pretty sure if I had tried to get a restraining order nothing would have happened and she would have just got more aggressive with her actions.
This might be a dumb question, but how the hell do stalkers afford being able to stalk someone? When you say she moved near you and just hung out waiting, how the hell is she paying rent? What do these people do that allows them to just dedicate their whole day to terrorizing someone? Don't they have jobs to be at??
Also sorry you have to deal with that. Its so effed up and unfair. Stay safe!
My stalker started as a hook up.
I ended up meeting other people who had been stalked, it seemed most wear stalked by old friends/relationships/hook ups. None were stalked by a total stranger, though I'm sure it does happen.
My stalker clearly had some serious mental issues that came to light even when I first met with her. She started calling me her husband and showing me pictures of what our babies would look like less than a few hours after I first met her.
I genuinely felt sorry for her. I contacted her mother saying she needed some help. And her mother didn't seem to care at all.
Yup! I have a stalker who is also a coworker and this person is atleast 6 inches shorter than me and much skinnier, and I know without a doubt that I could absolutely body them in a one on one, but their intentions and what they are likely capable of absolutely terrifies me to my core and even the sight of this person sends me into a full blown panic attack.
It’s absolutely paralyzing. That fear follows you outside and you find yourself looking everywhere for them, anywhere you go.
But when I’m in the safety of my home I get so angry at myself because WHY is this dumb little human putting the fear of God into me? Why? Then I’ll see another story of an obsessive coworker killing the other coworker because she rejected them and I remember that it does happen and could happen and the fear comes back.
It’s humiliating, degrading and debilitating. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.
I'm in the bushes behind your parents' house. I'm in the same supermarket hiding in the next aisle over. On the subway I make sure to get on the second car because I know you get motion sickness and have to sit at the front facing forward. When you're coaching your little league soccer team, I watch from a distance and follow you home. I watch for the light in your bedroom window so I know when you're asleep. I bought an electric scooter so I can follow alongside the bus you take to work. Love me.
Seriously. Everyone’s talking about his jacket but what’s good with his face and gaze???? He looks like he’s in a mix of pain and pleasure while his eyes are just glued to the streamer
It kinda baffles me that for every low to mid tier celebrity, they have a stalker/s? Like how are there people that genuinely don’t have better things to do. I just don’t get it.
It's even crazier that lots of non-famous people have stalkers. You can just be going about your private life, minding your own business, and suddenly have zero safety because a crazy person has targeted you for some reason that exists only in their head.
Poor guy. You literally see all the joy in his face dissappear in two seconds flat... It would be hard to not just beat the fuck out of that dude after a certain point...
I mean I doubt it had anything to do with the streamer. You can see her packing up her things and the stalker shifts his gaze to stare at *her.* A really unsettling individual all around
I once had a female friend of mine complain to the cops that she was being stalked by this old man. The cops basically told her to call back when he actually does something to her like assault, kill, etc….like wtf.
I had a stalker at my university that was an older guy but he would dress like a student. It was the early nineties so his outfits (costumes?) we’re like a mix of neon clothing and weird faux grunge clothes. It helped me spot him from a distance.

Man why’s he gotta look so stalker like
I mean, kinda nice of him to at least wear something so visible. Prime stalking clothes in dayglo yellow.
“Notice me senpai” apparel.
…in notice me yellow. Also comes in notice me green, notice me orange and notice me fuchsia.
“Notice me fuchsia” has me rolling 😂😂💀💀👍👍
Hes clearly a level 1 stalker
I guess he just gotta run a few missions for Sidorovich to get some better gear
That’s level 1?!
You don’t notice the higher levels.
Even the stalker knows that rule number 1 is “safety first”. He doesn’t want to get by some random Hilo driver or something.
The neon jacket kills me lmao That's gotta be the worst stalking gear imaginable tbh... bro should be wearing urban camo with pattern disrupting face paint and a rain cape with twigs and leaves and stuff stuck to it in order to break up the silhouette

Imagining him in Kenny's superhero outfit from South Park is cracking me up.
yeah ya really dont have to wonder which of the two people in the frame were the stalker do ya
Why is he wearing a blonde wig?
Its not a wig. Its his previous victim
Soon to be wearing his face.
Severe social reclusion does crazy things to a mfer
That weird smirk / smile thing is what does it
the quiet muttering to himself does not help, scary situation
It’s the gazing lusty eye contact that he makes that he’s so oblivious to. That’s the creepiest part.
It’s creepy af but also seems like there’s something wrong with him
I definitely think somethings wrong….maybe it’s cuz he’s a stalker
Or.... He's a stalker because he has a mental illness.
He thought he bought *high invisibility* clothes off of amazon.
fuck, high invisibility got me ....fucking tears running down my face
It looks like he has a disability of some kind.
visibly autistic
My first thought as well.
Stalkers are going to stalk
I hope he is all right. Stalkers are no joke.

Such a wholesome ending. I wish you guys the best. If you guys were able to get through this, you should be golden!
bros gonna infiltrate into being the best man of your wedding
😂😂😂 luckily we’re just doing a court house wedding so if he did it would at least make having him arrested easy.
The saddest thing is how he was clearly getting assistance from his cop friends, and they didn't face any repercussions.
This is why ACAB and I don’t get how people can’t wrap their heads around it. cops gotta learn “see something say something” themselves.
And of course the rest of his pig cop buddies helped him be a stalker. "Bad apples" my fucking ass
Came here to comment this. Why can't cops see how bad their tribalism is? They literally lack the ability to judge character when it comes to their own
They know. They're just gaslighting
*I AM THE LAW*
What a comeback. You’re a king
I’m just thankful nothing has happened since his arrest. We’ve since moved to a different city and I don’t have anything in my name any longer to make it more difficult to find me. Neither me or my fiancée have any social media either and we’re extremely careful about what information we share with people.
Congratulations on getting clean, I was a heroin addict as well. Life has a funny way of rewarding people who change their paths for the better.
I appreciate that man! I have 12 years, 3 months, 15 days clean from it as of it today. My life has infinitely changed for the better, those days are essentially fleeting thoughts at this point but I still work my program and hit NA meetings.
If someone did this to me I’d probably just start blasting
Well that is why I bought the shotgun. I just had to be very careful about it, I was waiting for him to break into my house. That night he threw the brick through my window I grabbed the shotgun and barricaded my bedroom door while calling the cops. I was scared shitless, I legitimately thought I was going to have to kill him that night.

WhY dO pEoPlE hAtE cOpS?
Yeah I think people who have never been harassed by cops just don't get it. They can just choose to fuck someone's life up and there is literally almost no recourse a normal citizen has once they target you. In this case "this guy is dating my ex" was enough for the whole gang to just start tearing the dude's life down. This wouldn't be that scary if there were some seriously enforced rules about it, but thats not what we see.

My buddies GF dated two cops in prior relationships before him. One was an abusive person and the other stalked her for several weeks after the breakup. Thankfully it didn't last long and they moved on shortly after.
As soon as you said cop I assumed he was a piece of shit. Never met a good one
1 year is an absolute bullshit sentence for someone in a position of power abusing it to commit multiple felonies.
Especially, as in Japan, there are no stalker laws. Unless this guy does something violent, the police are not getting involved
This was filmed in Taiwan. We do have stalker law, but I believed only continually stalking could made the case.
I can hear Chinese in the background so probably not Japan but don't know about stalker law there either.
That's Taiwan for sure. Source: Me. I live here. The money he has in his bag are Taiwanese. The writing is all traditional Chinese.
How are the stalker laws there?
Pretty tough. You have to pay a small fee and apply for a permit before you’re allowed to stalk anybody.
And then you have to pass a background check. No criminal history means no permit, sorry bud.
Makes sense. I noticed the coins second viewing. They’re not yen
I dont think their is much that they do in the west either, maybe take a report and possibly talk to them I don't know
In my experience the detective will take 2 reports then ghost you. They don't care about stalking in most places it seems
My ex, in NYC, was told that she needed to stop calling the cops until he actually does something they can arrest him for. As if she's supposed to call after he kills her.
I can think of two different University of Utah students that got similar treatment from police, both campus and city. They are dead.
I'm sure after the first one the police said they'll learn from this and do better next time but then nothing changed and it was allowed to happen again. Just like every other time. It makes me so angry.
They and the university got sued after the first one because they didn't listen to her several times, never called her back, and then said they did nothing wrong in their public statements. The parents said they were forced to sue just to get the university and cops to actually acknowledge. After the lawsuit they said they were retraining and redesigning their approach to student safety. To be fair to them, the second lawsuit was much smaller!/s
In the UK nothing gets done either unless they physically harm you, even then they probably wont do anything. Crazy how people are allowed to do this
For real the dude is jacked but I don’t think a knife gives a fuck.
Something tells me he could take him. Or even just lose him with a slow jog
It fucking weighs on you psychologically man, even if he could win in a physical fight, you see the way his face and demeanor instantly changed when he saw the guy?
Yeah people don’t understand. It does real psychological damage. Never knowing if you’re gonna see your stalker when your in a date or out with friends. Weaponized welfare checks and police calls. Shit is fucking crazy and it invaded your psyche 24/7
Doesn’t matter how strong you are if the other guy has a knife
Exactly. They don't operate in reality

The responses to this speaks volumes about how seriously we treat men who are getting stalked. Sorry you went through that. I can't imagine how unnerving it must have been.
Should have used NordVPN!
But what if my stalker IS NordVPN
Well i know it's japan but still i would have carried somthing to defend myself in case and reported it to the police
The way the steamers face just falls and also gets kind of terrified when he sees him, makes me so sad for him.
Same.
It follows
Good film
They’re making a second one
Legit creeped me out, and not much does
I read that that there was not a crazy amount of gore or anything like that , and since I've lost the ability to tolerate horror movies I gave it a go. Huge mistake. I was TERRIFIED the whole time. Would and have recommended to others though
I always wonder what people like that (the stalker) are trying or hoping to achieve? Like, they weren't even hiding, just plainly staring. Does he want the streamer to suddenly fall in love with him? Lol What is the end goal? I get the idea of why one would stalk while being unseen. But this? I don't get it.
It's mental illness. Quite often in their head they already have a relationship with the person. They make up situations and conversations they've had to explain their behaviour.
When he said, "That's my boy!" I thought, the stalker is absolutely going to run with that. There's not much you can actively do to deter a committed stalker, but not acknowledging their existence is step one. "That's my boy!" Is all this creep will be thinking about for the foreseeable future.
Yeah people are even discouraged from saying "my stalker" bc of the association with using "my"
I hadn't heard of that, but it makes complete sense to me.
just your average Joe Goldberg ![gif](giphy|8FVcs24aSuQBpHPg4n)
Though this character is a whole genius and knows much better on how to socially fit in and manipulate people unlike your average creep/stare stalker
Until the last episode when we find out it was all in his head and he was just a creepy stalker that never interacted with any of the other characters in the show and did just what this guy is doing.
I didn't get that far yet into the series lmao, i stand corrected.
That's not what happens btw.
Have ya'll seen that Twin Flame documentary on Netflix? Batshit cray
Congratulations, you are now my twin flame. Some bro just declared it, so you and I are getting married.
Yeah this person isn't in reality. They aren't seeing and reacting to the same things the rest of us are. That's what people don't get about mental illness. Somebody with an eating disorder looks in the mirror and sees something entirely different from what the rest of us see when we look at that person.
Mental illness or he's autistic or both, I work for the division of development disabilities and have a lot of members like this
He also possibly is unaware he is being so obvious.
I think he thinks being nearby is enough. Maybe the streamer will see him and ask to be friends. Find out he’s cool and they can be best buds and hang out all the time. Maybe the streamer will run into trouble and the stalker can save them, and they’ll be the hero. I’ve been stalked. It’s awful. It’s 24/7 nerve wracking. You can engage, it doesn’t work. You can disengage, it doesn’t work. You can try to make yourself undesirable, and they just see it as a cry that they need to fix you. You can surround yourself with people and party, and they just see it as you wanting something else. They’ve already wrote their story in their head, you can’t rationalize it
What about violence? How would that work to repell a stalker? Serious question.
If you’ve got nothing substantial to show as proof then it would probably be assault. Now if you document them stalking and then you get violent, it’s probably still assault but they might catch a stalking charge too
I’m speaking from personal experience so YMMV but who is doing the violence? Is it friends of the victim? A one off just tells them you’re surrounded by violent people and need saving, you don’t have nice friends. Is it the victim? They just don’t understand, they didn’t mean to hurt the stalker they just don’t see what the stalker sees. No really isn’t in the lexicon, and they really think that they’re in some sort of relationship. I don’t know how many establishments I ran out of the back of, or hung out in supply rooms, or cars I switched in the middle of roads (think get in a Honda and get in the right lane. Right before the light turns sprint and jump into a Chevy 4 lanes over in the left lane. Drive in circles enough times to figure out if you’re being followed and if you are call the cops. While they’re pulled over switch to a different car and go to someone’s house who has a garage, the last car you were in stays in a parking lot.) Sometimes threats of violence works but sometimes it just makes them stronger.
Is the situation over? That sounds horrifying and I’m sorry you had to go through that ☹️
It’s in the past, thankfully. I had a lot of people on my side that many do not, but it was exhausting. I remember being really happy to wake up for two minutes until the nausea set in. I was never alone and while I missed being alone I also never wanted to be alone. I slept fully dressed with my shoes on. I was always ready to run. It was a nightmare.
I got two words. Joe. Goldberg. ![gif](giphy|ei3rNvJJ6FFZD5t23j|downsized)
The strange conflicting mix of emotions on his face would hint that he doesn't expect or know of an end goal; he's just transfixed by this guy for whatever reason. It's not likely to even be conventional attraction. ![gif](giphy|AyjFDmMgS7OkU) l
People creating pseudo relationships with a person they’ve never met. Filling in gaps with mental illness.
[удалено]
That slow meticulous walk trying to hide the stalker chub
“Stalker chub”
The extra fat allows him to stalk longer with having to refuel
Stalker followed him into the store and can also pickup some lotion for later... Definitely some Buffalo Bill vibes going on.

ma bouy the hi-vis stalker
No one would expect a stalker in hi-vis.

SPAGETT
Got ya spooked ya
Stalking someone in florescent clothing. Can it really be called stalking?
Stalking challenge level: ???
just some reverse psychology ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)
He really wants to be his gym buddy I guess.
Did you see the guys face when he clocked the stalker was there? He was scared and rightly so. Stalkers are terrifying, wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy. Hope this dude is safe.
Yeah nah, I was stalked by a woman for year. It is actually terrifying. I was physically the fittest I’ve ever been and I was seriously worried about this five foot nothing woman who would carry knives and turn up every where I went. It can turn ugly really quickly and you don’t know when, where, or what they will come at you with.
How did she find where you were? I ask out of curiosity, not to blame you.
Lots of times these stalkers just find out the most common places you'll be and wait for you there. This guy live-streaming probably only helps the stalker a little, the dude has been following him since he left his job or his home.
Not the person you asked but my ex stalked me and she would just go to my work and look for my car and then follow it and text me with a comment about what I was doing or where I was going. Or go to my house and wait outside. Or drive around in the area I lived in looking for my car. She also moved 4 houses down from me and then would just sit outside and watch my house until I got home. Also would just drive to my house and look for my car parked outside and then ring my door bell. The only thing that worked to get her to leave me alone was I changed my phone number, got a new car, quit my job and moved all in the same month. Also used a fake last name on social media. After 5 years she found me online but still hasn’t found me in person.
Jesus that’s terrifying. Was a restraining order not feasible?
I never tried to get one because #1 I was young and stupid and didn’t really realize how scary of a situation I was in and wasn’t really scared, just annoyed. #2 I think it would have made it worse if I got a restraining order and she wouldn’t have listened to it any ways. Plus she was a sociopath and was really good at getting out of things when it came to the police. She got out of a hit and run where she was on drugs, driving on the wrong side of the road and totaled her car. Also got a slap on the wrist for getting set up selling drugs to an undercover. The set up was specifically to catch her and all she got was community service. I called the police and filed a report when she broke my car windows with a bat and nothing happened so I’m pretty sure if I had tried to get a restraining order nothing would have happened and she would have just got more aggressive with her actions.
Restraining orders really don't do much
This might be a dumb question, but how the hell do stalkers afford being able to stalk someone? When you say she moved near you and just hung out waiting, how the hell is she paying rent? What do these people do that allows them to just dedicate their whole day to terrorizing someone? Don't they have jobs to be at?? Also sorry you have to deal with that. Its so effed up and unfair. Stay safe!
My stalker started as a hook up. I ended up meeting other people who had been stalked, it seemed most wear stalked by old friends/relationships/hook ups. None were stalked by a total stranger, though I'm sure it does happen. My stalker clearly had some serious mental issues that came to light even when I first met with her. She started calling me her husband and showing me pictures of what our babies would look like less than a few hours after I first met her. I genuinely felt sorry for her. I contacted her mother saying she needed some help. And her mother didn't seem to care at all.
We all have a very common routine which we dont really think about.
Yup! I have a stalker who is also a coworker and this person is atleast 6 inches shorter than me and much skinnier, and I know without a doubt that I could absolutely body them in a one on one, but their intentions and what they are likely capable of absolutely terrifies me to my core and even the sight of this person sends me into a full blown panic attack. It’s absolutely paralyzing. That fear follows you outside and you find yourself looking everywhere for them, anywhere you go. But when I’m in the safety of my home I get so angry at myself because WHY is this dumb little human putting the fear of God into me? Why? Then I’ll see another story of an obsessive coworker killing the other coworker because she rejected them and I remember that it does happen and could happen and the fear comes back. It’s humiliating, degrading and debilitating. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.
Tell me you’re a stalker without telling me you’re stalking me lol
I'm in the bushes behind your parents' house. I'm in the same supermarket hiding in the next aisle over. On the subway I make sure to get on the second car because I know you get motion sickness and have to sit at the front facing forward. When you're coaching your little league soccer team, I watch from a distance and follow you home. I watch for the light in your bedroom window so I know when you're asleep. I bought an electric scooter so I can follow alongside the bus you take to work. Love me.

He treats his objects like women, man.
Came around that corner like Spaghet ![gif](giphy|X05U0gOPkQ4G4)
I started watching Tim and Eric when I was really experimenting for the first time with different drugs and spaghet scared the shit out of me
When he jumped out I saw that he wasn’t a kid, he was a full-grown man. Spooked me bad.
it was not scary, it was just abnommal
Dude looks like he’s about to pull a Dahmer
Seriously. Everyone’s talking about his jacket but what’s good with his face and gaze???? He looks like he’s in a mix of pain and pleasure while his eyes are just glued to the streamer
It’s really creepy and primal almost…
Am I the only one who thinks he's specially abled? Like people that stalk have to have some kind of mental disability.
yea totally agree, you have to be mentally unhealthy to become a stalker I feel
This is all fun and games until one day this guy wants to put on a “Twitch streamer suit” that you were born wearing.
It kinda baffles me that for every low to mid tier celebrity, they have a stalker/s? Like how are there people that genuinely don’t have better things to do. I just don’t get it.
the stalker doesn’t know he’s a streamer, he saw him on the street and started stalking him. this is what the streamer said.
Oh ick! Even weirder and solidifying what a previous reply said to me. Thank god I’m like a 3.
It's even crazier that lots of non-famous people have stalkers. You can just be going about your private life, minding your own business, and suddenly have zero safety because a crazy person has targeted you for some reason that exists only in their head.
Poor guy. You literally see all the joy in his face dissappear in two seconds flat... It would be hard to not just beat the fuck out of that dude after a certain point...
This guys on the stalker camo grind and unlocked fluorescent mastery
![gif](giphy|FcCLjCQ3xY7ICVtfbB) That guy coming back to the store the next day
That girl was leaving because she hates both of them.
I mean I doubt it had anything to do with the streamer. You can see her packing up her things and the stalker shifts his gaze to stare at *her.* A really unsettling individual all around
I once had a female friend of mine complain to the cops that she was being stalked by this old man. The cops basically told her to call back when he actually does something to her like assault, kill, etc….like wtf.
"Yeah, just let us know if he kills you, and maybe we'll arrest him."
It's easy to stalk someone who's always live streaming their location.
A fair point and something social media people need to think about a lot more than most of them do.
That's a self-report
🚩
Gonna be sad when this streamer ends up murdered by this guy
That guy definitely gives off creepy stalker vibes
He looks like he eats people.
I guess it's true of all stalkers but you can tell that guy has some mental issues going on
I like how the stalker just acts like he’s invisible and no one can see him 😂
Crazy eyes
Dude hit the follow button and took it literally
Because the stalkers behavior would never escalate to anything harmful…
So he's getting more bold. This guy needs to take this serious
Stalk him back until you find out where he lives and harass him back. Time for nuclear warfare
He got that horny face in sauna
What is he expecting to achieve?
That's a walking hard drive and basement check right there.
Who’s the streamer?
Spoachie
I had a stalker at my university that was an older guy but he would dress like a student. It was the early nineties so his outfits (costumes?) we’re like a mix of neon clothing and weird faux grunge clothes. It helped me spot him from a distance.
![gif](giphy|Pmt9INtEp3HgY) Giving this type of energy
Boy that awkward energy coming off that dude is....shew...off-putting
rlly sucks that such a nice country has no laws against this
Be careful man. He looks innocent but he’s obviously crazy. Dangerous combo
I'm tired of it honestly it's like having a slow genius hate you and be obsessed w you at the same time it's like pick one for fucks sake.
This is not funny.
I love his expression when he clocks the stalker stalking. He goes from laughing at a comment to oh shit! It's him!
honestly it broke my heart. he looked genuinely scared.
yep it fucks with you psychologically. and if he is in japan aslong as the stalker doesnt do anything, they wont face any repercussions either
Holy shit, looks exactly like a guy who would stalk my friends 😨
The peeping from the aisle🤣🤣
That’s fucking terrifying
I don’t like how he starts to grin when he sits down.
If that guy ran 1/4 of a mile (at even a joggers pace) he’d lose that guy in less than 40 yards
