Having experienced a real-life stalker many years ago, this was very triggering to watch. In my case, it began as a friendship when I was in my late teens, but then when I tried to distance myself... she completely flipped out. She refused to accept that I no longer wanted to be her friend.... and developed delusional ideas that my family was the reason I wanted to distance myself. They were "controlling" me she said. But the fact was... I did it because she continuously gifted me expensive presents I didn't want, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I'm talking jewelry that cost thousands (a ring with her name and my name inscribed inside which was WTF). I'm talking every single book I ever MENTIONED to her... coming to our door wrapped as a present. My family became concerned that this "friend" was spending so much money, without us having even that deep of a friendship. Additionally, she ignored my boundaries, often discussing inappropriate things in detail, despite my repeated requests for her to stop. And as I said... she believed my desire to cut contact came from me being "controlled" by my parents, especially my dad. She even sent messages to him on Facebook, insisting he can't end our friendship and threatening to come and talk to him if he didn't allow me to talk to her. The situation escalated to threats that were about her coming down to the house if he won't allow me to respond... and we had to involve the police. My dad did all of this to protect me, because I was still quite young. And as a guy I never thought I would be scared of a woman like that. Despite that, I continued to receive emails from her for years, which ultimately led me to stop using that email address. Unlike Eva's experience, this was a known to me person rather than an anonymous stalker, yet it was still unsettling and disturbing, especially since I was younger and less experienced at the time. I vividly recall receiving a package containing a pillow with my face printed on it. She thought it would make me happy, but it had the opposite effect. Why would she print my face on a pillow, for what reason.... Even now, I occasionally dream of her, nightmares mostly, but thankfully, I haven't received any sign from her in many years.
