It started about back in 2010 when i was on this gaming website and weird shit happened that summer. In the end i somehow had this stalker literally following me around on the internet itself. He creeps me out a lot. he somehow got into me email and knows my name now. All because of him there's many things I'm too afraid to do. like make a couple YouTube videos :P i mean like the stalker has been following me on the internet for about 4 years about to be 5 next march. i never really know what to do because every time i changed usernames or got new emails he'd find out. and recently i just found out he lives a couple states over. Its really scaring me. if he already knows my name, he can narrow things down quite a bit. he doesn't know what i look like. but the name i have inst all that common so that makes things even easier. Should it be normal for me to be naturally afraid of putting myself on the internet? He's one of those creepy "I love you' people who is insane about you. This guy threatens to do self harm to himself all the time if i don't respond to him. i don't want to have anything to do with him. But i also don't want him to seriously take his life then I'm tracked down by the government and i'm held responsible. Honestly idk what to do! What should i do about this? i would love to start a little channel on YouTube but i cant because it feels like hes constantly watching...

        Then now's a great time to go to them. If you have any communications from him saved, present those as evidence.

        Meet up with him, but stab him.

        Yes, but have you called the police? If you did, what did they tell you?

    Call the police, alert your parents, etc. When you're scared for your own safety you need to stop trying to be tough and tell someone about it.

    I don't even have a stalker (as far as I know) and I'm still really careful what I put online. So it doesn't seem weird at all to me.

    So what if he hurts himself! You can't be held responsible for your stalker hurting or killing himself. Hell, if he killed himself at least you wouldn't have a stalker anymore. The world is a better place without creeps like him.

      Hopefully he'll take a walk into oncoming traffic. Problem solved.

      Sounds like the best of all possible outcomes, if this creep offs himself. I'm with you Rose, this poor girl will have no responsibility for his actions, even if she encourages him a tiny bit.

    In your case yes. Start an email with a different name and sign up on different websites with that alias.

    Don't you have a big brother who could have a little "talk" with this guy?
    I'm sure there are plenty of IIN members who'd love to help you out by "convincing" this creep to go away, if you had some contact info on him.

      Well I DO have his email from when he was sending creep messages... And I do have a name...but it could be fake...that smart ass hasn't shown his face. But one time he tried to convince me to run away and go to Arizona. I don't know what his deal is but I would love for someone on INN to flip the tables on that asshole...I'm seriously considering P.M'ing an INN person his email...

      Please explain why this got thumbed down? I really would like to know you actually had a reason rather than just because you don't like me.
      Color me confused, on this one; the girl needs help.
