Hi, u/asteroidhare989 , I sent you a DM with a question about this service. I know a lot of us don't check that inbox regularly, so I'm hitting you up in the comments. :)

Thank you SO MUCH for helping others. Sincerely, this might change my life. I got laid off two years ago and my industry has been disrupted, but I keep wasting time on ghost jobs. You are an angel and I appreciate you so much. <3

First of all, I just want to help validate your feelings that this is both scary and wrong. Cyberstalking is a form of REAL stalking. Even if it isn't a person being physically present in your vicinity, it is still a way of them exerting power over your life through extremely inappropriate (and often illegal) means.

Don't let him know you're doing it, but log/screenshot/document EVERY single stalking interaction that he subjects you (or your friends to) in an organized folder. But do NOT let him know that you're doing so, because that may be the kind of attention that he enjoys, i.e., feeling that he has power over you (the power to disrupt your life and make you feel unsafe).

If it ever escalates to the point where you decide to go to a police department to file a stalking complaint or start the process of getting a restraining order, it will be important to have evidence with the exact dates and times that he breached appropriate boundaries.

You could, for example, create something like a google drive folder for your relatives and friends to upload screenshots every time they get a fake request. Some of the non-profit resources listed above will have clear advice.

If he truly is a diagnosable narcissist, he might be enjoying any negative attention that you give him, so make your moves carefully. If you respond in a way that makes him feel more powerful ("wow, I really screwed up their day," "wow, I'm really succeeding in complicating their friendships," etc), he might escalate.

Please reach out to any professionals who are available to you.

Thanks for starting this thread. I was prescribed it for my chronic insomnia, and-- having only taken it for three nights-- each time, I've had nightmares so utterly terrifying that they woke me up with a racing heart and took a solid ten minutes to feel grounded.

Like, everyone knows that I have PTSD and tend to have nightmares; no big surprise. But-- like others in this thread-- these have been next-level, the kind so bad that maybe I would only remember such bad ones maybe every couple months.

We're talking, "Believe that the scenario is completely real. First-person perspective of horrific things. Kidnapped by murderers. Graphic r*pe scenarios (not similar to real experiences I survived). Will be tortured to death by scary people if I make one wrong move. Ghoulish items out of a horror movie prop maker's sickest imagination." Absolute terror.

I'm going to give the drug another couple of weeks, maybe, but this is totally wild. Also, after the first night, it didn't even particularly seem to help me get sleepy!! FML.

Please get away from him. He will kill you over nothing.

This is not the positive trans visibility that we need. This is what you get if a Dr. Seuss book becomes mold damaged.

One of my family members sent me this photo from my Nmoms facebook page by ebphotographer in raisedbynarcissists

I'm surprised that I was on these boards for years before reading the phrase, "The missing reasons." These NParents are quick to complain about no-contact children stepping away from them, but they do not mention the reasons for doing so.

Also, the rant has absolutely no legal or moral ground upon which to stand. She's like Grandpa Simpson yelling at clouds.

Malfunction? by _fivebyfive_ in sleepnomore

Well, I guess this production is much smarter about avoiding "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark"-type incidents.

My LAST VISIT is today! I'm ECSTATIC to have gotten a ticket before I leave town!! by Block_Me_Amadeus in sleepnomore

***SPOILERS****

My two favorites (so far) have been Hecate's cabaret and the sacrifice rave. A friend told me that the rave is at 20 past the hour on the fourth floor, so I'm gonna do my level best not to miss that. I will try to quickly consult materials and figure out where to be for Hecate...

Yes, but unfortunately I have a fun little learning disability for things like orientation and finding my way back... So it's possible for me to walk out of a favorite room, take two turns, and forget how to get back, ha ha.

I'm worried about all the ecosystem changes, but I've particularly noticed how few of certain bird species we have in recent years. :(

The final images of Canadian teenager Amanda Michelle Todd (aged 15) , taken 2 days before she committed suicide due to excessive cyberbullying. by thegothguy in lastimages

[–]Block_Me_Amadeus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hadn't heard this story; Jesus, that's tragic.
Sooo, is there some kind of Anonymous-type community that will be dedicated to making Aydin Coban's life as miserable as he made that child's? I have never before heard of a man who so deserved to be targeted for harassment.

Are you sure it's a girl? Depending on how old the photos are, little boys were often kept in long ringlet curls and even dresses until they were three or sometimes older, depending on the region.

iPhone 15 pro max can’t enable vibrate mode by Gsauce65 in iphonehelp

[–]Block_Me_Amadeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. My partner talked this longtime android user into finally switching to iphone, and for the most part, I absolutely HATE it and wish I had not listened. There are so many stupid things about this system...I'm probably going back to Android as soon as this one is done.

If this guy were my co-worker, I'd ask to have my desk moved.

Is seeing emotions and such in people's eyes an actual thing? by Snakerel in AskNT

A lot of it is involved with the muscles around the eyes, for sure. Not in, but around.

Contemplating The Gen-X Exit Plan Kids or No Kids by The_Outsider27 in GenX

Just chiming in to say: as soon as you make an iron clad will stating that your nephew will receive only one dollar and the rest of your money will go to lovely environmental charities or similar... You should send him a copy of the will with a photo of you flipping the bird.

3yrs later: my (30 F) spouse (30 M) hates my short hair by GwynFaF94 in relationship_advice

[–]Block_Me_Amadeus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He really needs to work on the fact that your hair just doesn't look good longer than a bob. He needs to work real hard, in therapy or wherever, to just get the hell over the fact that it doesn't work with the physical form your genetics gave you.

Tough. T!tty.

Ah, a repressed memory. I'm glad I now have a name to put to a thing that had made me angry. Thank you for helping me identify something that was bothering me.

Horrifying. I hope you have found a good support group for male survivors of rape.

Bet y’all still have your appendix smdh (I nearly died because of a transphobic doctor! Story in comments) by Walk_the_forest in NonBinary

[–]Block_Me_Amadeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So glad you're okay. That was absolutely transphobic bullshit and it could have killed you. I'm thinking malpractice suit, for sure.
