Effects of Stalking

Effects of Stalking
Stalking does not consist of single incidents, but is a continuous process. Stalking can be a terrifying experience for victims, placing them at risk of psychological trauma, and possible physical harm. As Rokkers writes, "Stalking is a form of mental assault, in which the perpetrator repeatedly, unwontedly, and disruptively breaks into the life-world of the victim, with whom they have no relationship (or no longer have). Moreover, the separated acts that make up the intrusion cannot by themselves cause the mental abuse, but do taken together (cumulative effect)."

This stalking is actually far worse than the original attack, but they are connected because I never recovered from the original trauma. They may actually be connected, actions by the stalker contributed to the attack on me.
One point to note is that stalking does not have to be malicious.

There is a problem of when interest or concern about Another turns into a nuisance. Apparently, the narcissist gets these boundaries and decisions too heavy, whilst the shy and avoidant may be too light. Don't think about the sadist/assertive. These allocations are on the Millon Spinning Top. They can become habitual, but the stalker makes the choice.
There is a song "Take Me As I am or Let me Go"
