I had this girl who seemed to be stalking me at work. She would always find excuses to be in the same room as me, and she'd constantly stare at me. I thought it was really strange. Turns out she had a huge crush on me and was too shy to talk to me directly. Eventually, I had a friendly chat with her and made it clear that I wasn't interested in that way.
Well, one story could be that a girl I knew from school started showing up everywhere I went. She'd be at the coffee shop I frequented, the park where I jogged, and even at the library where I studied. It was really creepy at first. But later I found out she just wanted to be friends and didn't know how to approach me in a normal way.
There was a girl who started following me on social media and then in real life. She would comment on all my posts and then suddenly start appearing near my apartment. I got a bit worried. But when I confronted her, she said she was just a big fan of my photography work and wanted to learn from me. So, it was a misunderstanding in the end.
I had an experience where a girl from my gym would always be on the machine next to mine, no matter what time I went. She also tried to find out my phone number through other members. I thought it was a bit much. However, when we finally talked, she said she was new in town and thought I looked like someone she could be friends with. She just went about it the wrong way.
One popular girl stalking novel could be 'You' by Caroline Kepnes. It tells a rather disturbing story of a man who becomes obsessed with a woman and starts stalking her in various ways. The book delves deep into the mind of the stalker, which is both fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
There was a case where a defective motherboard in a company's server seemed to be sending out random data packets. It turned out that there was a malicious chip on the motherboard that was installed during the manufacturing process in a foreign factory. This chip was stalking the company's network traffic and sending it to an unknown third - party. It cost the company a great deal of time and money to figure out the source and replace all the affected motherboards.
One story could be a child being repeatedly sent unwanted messages by a stranger who had found their social media profile. The stranger would comment on the kid's every post, making the kid feel very uncomfortable and scared.
Well, here's a stalking short story idea. There's a detective who is investigating a case of a woman being stalked. The stalker leaves strange notes and gifts at her doorstep. As the detective digs deeper, he discovers that the stalker is someone from the woman's past who has a twisted obsession with her. Another story could be that a famous singer is stalked by a person who hacks into their social media accounts to find out their whereabouts. In a third story, a neighbor starts stalking another neighbor just because they have a nice garden and the stalker becomes obsessed with having a similar one.
Yes, most of the time they are. Stalking is an invasive and often scary behavior. Novels that revolve around it usually explore the dark side of human obsession, so they tend to be disturbing. For example, in 'You', the stalker's actions are really creepy and make the reader feel uncomfortable.
One online stalking story I heard was about a girl who constantly received unwanted messages on social media from a stranger. The stranger had found her profile and started commenting on her every post, sending private messages asking personal questions. It made her feel very uncomfortable and scared. She had to block the person multiple times as they kept creating new accounts to continue stalking her.
One scary stalking story is about a girl who noticed the same man everywhere she went. He was at the coffee shop she frequented, outside her workplace, and even on her jogging path. Every time she saw him, he would just stare at her. It made her extremely paranoid and scared to leave her house.
There was a case where a man was being stalked online. The stalker created multiple fake accounts to follow his every move on different platforms. They would comment on his posts with really disturbing messages. This made the man extremely paranoid and he had to limit his online presence and even change his job as the stalker seemed to know his workplace details too. It was a nightmare for him.
No, usually it's not. Watching stories doesn't automatically mean stalking. It depends on the intention and the context.
