“When Innocent Words Turn Sinister: Unraveling the Chilling Comment That Fractured My Peace”
For example, checking your home for potential bugs after someone makes an oddly specific comment about how you spend your evenings is simply smart. You’re acting on relevant information and you’re verifying a theory you have about being spied on. On the other hand, sweeping your home for bugs twice each day because you think shadowy organizations might be out to get you would be taking things too far.
However, you should not allow anyone to gaslight you into thinking that you’re ‘just being paranoid’: again, if your gut’s alarm bells are ringing, listen to your instincts. Consult your family and friends, and ask for advice online, but at the end of the day, you’re the one who has to make the decision about what to do.
Have you ever been a victim of stalking? When did you first realize that something was wrong? What did you do to handle the situation? How do you ensure your safety? It’s a sensitive topic, but if you’re up for sharing your experiences, you can do so in the comments.
