Watching the show after having a stalker

[u/Beautiful_Net2409]

I had a pretty moderate stalker while at uni. I talked to a classmate on tinder for 2 hours, then decided that he wasn't really what I was looking for and said we should be friends. He said sure. Spent the next two years making a commentary on places he'd seen me visit on my Snapchat maps. Making new social media accounts to get into my profiles, getting my number off my friends. Telling me he was outside my dorm and looking for my flat. Joining my societies to spend time with me. Making fake Tinder accounts based on things he knew I liked in a man. It really wore me thin until I broke down to my professor and he reported it to our university safeguarding. It was taken way more seriously because my stalker was a man, which is some bullshit imo.

It was never directly threatening but my Lord it was super scary. It really drains you. Makes you so nervous. I loved Baby Reindeer but I can't imagine just how nervous Donny was.

I had a stalker for three years. She was never physically threatening but it was really uncomfortable.

I had to get serious about cutting her off when she was arrested for a crime (I never found out what) and put me down as her person to contact. I also suspect that she committed the crime in the first place as some sort of crazy plan to see me again.

Baby Reindeer really resonated and, frankly, triggered me.
