    Just a bit freaked out these days......

    Over the part 4 years, I've been stalked, mostly online, by a guy that I know. It got really bad about 2 years ago. He literally checks up on everything that I do,somehow found my old accounts online,through a number of different sites,and knows my usernames, even I can't remember some of them. Last month,I started up my own website, a personal thing to me,an online journal, that I like to keep. I passed him earlier on and he said "Oh I like your new website, and read your blogs"

    It's as if he puts my name into google everday to see what he can find. Nobody knows about this site, I didn't tell anyone!Should I be freaked out? What would you do? Is this being obsessive?

    I've tried to shelter myself from this guy for months now, but we are in the same group, and it's tough to escape. I don't know how anyone could know so much, he even knows my old address, and he seems to remember personal stuff, things that he shouldn't, and things that nobody would really repeat, unless they had a motive

    If you want to keep something personal I'd advise not putting it on the internet....

    Over the part 4 years,

    Going by your username I'll guess you're 16.
    4 years ago you were 12.
    How interesting was your internet activity wayyyyy back then?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 518 ✭✭✭FluffyAngel


    are you hoping that he reads this and gets a hint ..

    What you want us to do about it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭Paramite Pie


    wow... that's really creepy! This clearly isn't the best place for advice given the unoriginal replies above this one...

    Have you linked your accounts together or something? Do you blog under your real name? If you know someones email address you can search to see what accounts are registered with that email.

    Are you facebook friends with him? Even if your not, and he's fb friends with one of your mates, he could probably still see your profile (the dangers of fb's "friend of friends" setting).

    Lastly, are you sure he won't see this, lol??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    Thats what you get for putting your business out there on the street.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭AndonHandon


    He sounds supportive and encouraging. By any chance is his name David?

    1 - Does he look like you?

    2 - Does he appear when you are at or near a mirror?

    This is the very reason AH is gone to the dogs. Attention seeking nonsense.

    I'm getting stalked by a company that sells mini engine models, turns up in almost every ad box.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere

    Op why are you keeping these old accounts if you never use them. You say he seems to remember personal stuff things that he shouldnt remember. Thats a kind of a weird statement

    A personal journal if you want to keep something personal you dont splash it all over the internet

    Are you friend with them on Facebook?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭Mongfinder General


    Sounds like he wants to get up on you. Big style.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭Adamantium


    Be reasonable; do this OP. That's all the advice I got, I can't help you after that.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭Paramite Pie


    Apparently Google has a public removal tool;

    http://searchengineland.com/removing-your-personal-information-from-google-55014

    OP try to do some reading up on online privacy, you'll be surprised at the lengths people will go.

    I'm disappointed with the answers here, if this was a guy stalking a girl online we'd be all concerned. Double standard much?

    It dosent give any indication if it's a guy or a girl posting just Irishguy as username and that means nothing

    I for one don't like to see stalking happen but the OP should realise you're not going to get much sympathy on AH. What I'd like to know is has he said this to any of his friends or family, If he feels uncomfortable around this person tell him.

    I never put very private stuff on the internet, don't trust it. My facebook profile is mostly full of funny photo's I find of the net.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,644 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    Maybe the op likes Irish guys..

    Could be a girl or boy...



    Only thing for it op is to live in the trees where you have no power and thankfully you will have no internet.

    Its so nice to have someone so interested in you they sound completely normal I would ask them out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭mickotoole


    Your computer has been compromised by this guy that's how he knows all your ****. That's my theory anyway

    Is it possible he has your passwords?

    My friends have often fraped me by guessing my facebook password. If he knows as much about you as much as you say, it's possible he's guessed (or spied) one of your passwords, and is able to see your other internet activity from your google account.

    Just a guess.

    I'd change all passwords just in case, if I were you, and obviously do what you can to retrieve any old accounts if possible. I know these things can be so easy to lose track of.

    Sounds genuinely frustrating.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭Littlekittylou


    He wants you to join a cult.

    He wants you to think you are not in control of your life OP. He wants you to recruit others too. He wants to brainwash you and leech ya!

    This is them. Look at them dance there.
