Stalking Victim
This week I have been talking about stalking, both offline and online. Either situation can be very mentally traumatic, if not physically traumatic. It can bring on feelings of fear, paranoia, and stress, among other things.
That’s why it’s important for you to take precautions against becoming a victim. If you are a victim, then remember you aren’t the first person to have gone through this.
Whether or not what is happening is determined as stalking (or intimidation) is largely up to the victim. Someone could say they meant no harm, but if you are made to feel uncomfortable or anything else, then you are being harmed. You are the one who feels and goes through the situation.
If you’re not sure where to go for help, here are a few options:
*Your local police department. If someone is following you around offline, then this is the first place to go. They can help you.
*If you are being stalked online, go to CyberAngels.org. They can help you with any questions you have.
*If you are being stalked offline, keep emergency numbers in your cell phone and alert others about the situation.
Also remember to check my other posts on online and offline stalking.
If you are being stalked in any way, it’s important to always remember it’s not your fault, you have done nothing wrong, absolutely nothing – no matter what the stalker or anyone else has to say about it.
The problem is in the stalker’s mind, not in anything you have done.
