Why do stalkers stalk? why does stalking get them off....

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering if anyone was an expert on stalking and cyber stalking?
Just out of interest, i was wondering if any one knew why people liked to stalk so much.

I have been a victim of being cyber stalked and to some extent, being physically stalked for a number of years by a number of people ( i live on a small island that makes it easy for sociopaths to stalk their victims, especially with the use of GPS tracking, ISP monitoring, cyberstalking programs, eavesdropping apps, hacking and data analytic programs)

Some, whom i believe had stalked me while i was at Uni. Who were involved in theft of my intellectual and creative copyright works.

One guy even stalked me onto forums that i frequented, in order to try and create evidence on these forums, as proof that the ideas that he copied from my email and hard drives, were his. Or in some vein attempt to set up evidence that he was the rightful author of the projects that i was presently working on that were in the process of being completed.

One of the guys who had a back ground as an amateur drummer, after copying the work from my hard drives, decided to reinvent himself as a composer / EDM producer, even though he had never owned a synth and never produced a track. Just taking credit for the music i made.

What made this particularly bad is that i do not come from a wealthy background, am self taught with it comes to music, and am rigidly honest. So all that i have, i had to pay for as i would not steal a penny from anyone.

And the guy in question, who stole from me, came from a privileged background. One other guy, who did the same, basically was so spoilt, that his father basically brought him a pro recording studio to work in once he dropped out the course he was on (which i was on too).

Nonetheless, apart from the industrial espionage aspect, i think there is some form of sociopathic / abuse element to the stalking. A kind of pathetic "power" bit like a private school rich kid "insider joke" that some spoilt abusive sociopaths are into.

Nonetheless, i have to say that i find the entire cyberstalking / stalking thing very cowardly and spineless.
Even ninja's at least take out the people who they stalk, with ninja throwing stars and their ninja swords.

I figure cyberstalking is similar to being a peeping tom or something. something that is very spineless and perverted about it. A kind of snide spoilt kid type of thing, having access to software that allows a person to abuse other covertly.

Hardly the coolest thing a person can do. certainly. doesn't make a person a ninja, secret agent or even a hacker.
(what's that term real hackers use.... that's it, "script monkey", although most cyberstalkers aren't even that clever. Like my ex-wife, just because she can fake a posh accent, doesn't mean she's got a high IQ or class. in fact, her behaviour consistently proves the opposite)...

Anyway, any criminal psychologists out there have any interesting statements on cyberstalkers.
Would be interested to learn, is it cause they think they have some form of control over a person?...
Really bizarre... Like Arnold Lane from the Pink Floyd song, just some kind of weird pervy behaviour.

I agree. They're control freaks, obsessive or just plain creepy.

Celery does it all the time.

I was going to write something but realized fnord already wrote it.

In a former workplace, one of the security guards was a stalker. He had several women he liked to follow all around, using the building's security cameras to find them wherever they went. Nobody liked him, but the guys all found the situation hilarious, so he got away with it for two years before he finally got fired.
From what I could tell he had low self esteem and a lot of mental issues, and I think doing this made him feel more powerful. The more afraid he could make someone, the more he seemed to enjoy it.

Yes, management did not take the situation seriously, some of the leads and supervisors used to joke around about it. That was the overall culture in that place. I heard it was one of the other security guards that finally convinced them to remove that guy.

I've been accused of cyber stalking for checking people's social media daily & for checking their watched posts on forums daily. Two were my ex girlfriends & I still really cared about them & loved them even after we broke up. I still love them & care about them but haven't checked for anything by either of them in a VERY LONG time. The other is a celebrity I have a mega huge crush on. I become obsessed with women I'm attracted to & love.

As for as why other people stalk, some are suffering from the delusional disorder Erotomania. They believe the person they are stalking is in love with them even thou that person has done nothing to indicate they were & that person may of even told their stalker to back off.
