I’ve had a stalker, and it was scary af. She was sending me secret admirer letters to my work for years. Later on, she somehow found the instagram profile of my girlfriend at the time and started sending her wild accusations about me, such as that I tried to sexually assault her and that I had a secret family in another country I had traveled to often. She then spread these rumors around my workplace. Once I found out who she was, it got even scarier because her public record showed a history of violent assault on men with a firearm. I was completely paranoid for months.
