I had another blog. I also had a cyber stalker. He was pretty obsessive about my blog, social media, work, etc. He actually created a fake persona and friended a colleague so he could interact with me. It took 6 months for me to figure out this person was actually a way for him to catfish me. Is that what they call it? It was annoying and frustrating and stole my energy, so I blocked the hell outta him, deleted my blog and put a curse on him (not really, I don’t know how). This is my new blog, my reset, my chance to do me in a new space without someone from the past who has a clinical delusional fantasy about me and who is trying desperately to hang on to my cyber ankles.
Good riddance.
Starting over has its down sides, but also a lot of up sides. I’ve had to start over a few times in life, and I view it as an opportunity. This time is an opportunity to have the blog I want based on some practice. I like it. Onward.
How scary! And exhausting…glad you are starting over and hopefully the stalker leaves you alone for good.

Thank you! It has been a very strange experience, and certainly not one I would wish on anyone. Learning to peacefully deal with actions out of my control has been HARD, but rewarding. I have an anxious brain, and I don’t like for things to not be resolved, so the new blog is some resolution for me.

It was really disturbing, especially when I first realized he had created an entire persona and I hadn’t thought anything other than “Huh, we have a fan.” because nothing was inappropriate or targeted at me, just casual social media interactions…until I shut down my other blog…

It’s disconcerting when someone doesn’t respect the clear boundaries you set, but thankfully starting over has been a positive experience for me and I have been encouraged by the blogging community!

I just don’t understand People. Most complex of all the creatures. Glad you are over it. And you started it all again.

Thank you. Our brains are complex things, and so are our attempts to escape a reality we don’t want. I think he may have fallen into that trap, but I wasn’t going to be trapped by it too. I’ve had to start a lot again, and this blog has been a really good do-over. It’s more honest and I can’t regret that.
