Love help: I was on AIM and somebody started to harass me. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I was on AIM and somebody started to harass me.

They sounded drunk, but I don’t know. They were telling me how “sexy” I was and all that crap. It isn’t that I think down on myself, but still. He knew everything about me and I don’t know if I knew him ever or not. I was in Italy this last week and he said that he was at the same hotel as me and was in love with me from first site. That sounds romantic, but it wasn’t…it was scary. I didn’t know what to think.

I am eighteen and I have never had that much experience in the romantic business. I have had only one boyfriend as was only kissed by him and we were together for only two months. I have never had experience with men and I don’t know who the harrasser is.

All I know is that I don’t know what to do. I don’t know for sure that the IM’s will stop. He IMed me twice and told me things I thought would never be said to me. I am scared and I want some advice. Thank you.

oh well if you are home. That separates him and you buy thousands of miles.
That’s why I suggested that if I thought you were sexy you wouldn’t be afraid of me
because I’m thousands of miles from you. You can just tell me to go to hell.

He could be lying. Just trying to get you scared. Some people enjoy making people scared. It’s sick yes I know.

some people have twisted minds and like to control other people especially girls.
It’s kind of a power trip. You have to tell him to drop dead.

It’s a good idea to tell the guy that you have a 250 pound brother
who just loves to break people’s arms.

Okay. I will see what I can do.
I am still REALLY scared though…what if he finds me?

I really think you’ll find he’s a wimp he won’t touch you.
He probably won’t even bother trying to find you.
If he does get back to us. And we’ll get after him.

Wow! How did he get hold of your IM? That is odd.

Did you travel with a group or on your own? If you traveled with a group it might be someone you know in the group. This person might be someone who knows your IM name who is playing a nasty prank on you to stir things up a bit.

I’m sorry, but why do people freak out when people on the net know who they are but they don’t know them. It’s like we are both in costume. You are dressed as Scooby doo and I’m dressed as a bear. But your friend told me about you and you would be dressed as Scooby Doo. HOw is that scary. He is not god. You had to tell him about you or you have this info on myspace, or a friend told him about you. And exactly how does he know where you are? It’s like talking like a vague horoscope and you believe every word.

yes I think the mind can play tricks on you.
Don’t give this guy any more power than he deserves.
Which isn’t much.

Basically this is like a bad psychic. “You’re in Italy at the (?????) hotel” So you respond with , “OMG, how did you know” He guessed and you just told him he was right.
It works like that. You are on a wireless network in a hotel. If I’m not mistaken, if you have a lil computer network know how you can see who else is on the same network. Which would have your computer name. Did you use that as a myspace name? Just a thought.

the percentage of people in the world who are truly dangerous
is very very tiny. Realize that you are not going to be involved
with one of those tiny percentages.
The people who get involved with those very dangerous people are usually involved
because of some karmic debt. That they have to be repaid in kind.
You don’t have such karmic debt. You sound like a very nice person.
You will be protected. Tell yourself that. Believe it. Its true.

the number of people in the world who are truly dangerous is very a very small.
Tell yourself that you are not going to be involved with one of that tiny percentage.
You are a very good person.
Usually the people who come in contact with these dangerous people are people
who have to work out some bad karma.
You’re not one of them. Tell yourself that.

Sorry could not be more help.. I say, If you feel that unnerved then call your friends first to see if they know that screen name then take maybe call the police. Though I don’t know what they could do in this situation.

I wouldnt worry but try to think of anyone who would have told this man anything about you ok.
Tell your parents about this just as a precaution.
It could be just a bad joke, simply dont alk to the man again blockhim or change your username.
I get the feeling that you would end up logging back in to se what he said next.
DONT OK but do tell your folks about it, im sure with a little detective work it will be easy to point the finger at thim.
Also make up something about where you went while you was on holiday, he may well say something like oh i was there 2 and saw you there .
Catch him at his own game, its not hard to do.
