Is it normal to stalk a friend's posts on the internet

8 Comments

I'm jealous of this guy I used to know years ago in high school. Basically, he was an athlete, womanizer, most popular, very charismatic, but beyond that he was very intelligent and wise for his years.

A few years later now, he's totally independent, still in great shape, drives a corvette, is in a stable relationship, in college and has a high paying job. And I've never had any of those things. My life is at a low-point now.

Basically, every weekend, I look at his facebook wall (im not friends with him), and he posts regularly on an internet forum. I hungrily read everything he writes online with great excitement.

I then copy and paste all that he writes into a word document so I can forever preserve it. Yes, I have an obsession toward someone who only ever regarded me as a "prime example of a virgin loser".

Is this normal? lol

    You know that this is unhealthy and not normal. You should not even need to ask. Who cares what kind of job or car he has anyways, maybe there is something about him that you don't know. Maybe he secretly is suffering from hiv positive or his wife or girlfriend had a still birth or something. No one is perfect. You are wasting your precious time obsessing over someone else. Maybe you the real reason you are doing this is that you are subconsciously too scared to move forward with your own life, or you just do not know what to do yet.

    "he posts regularly on an internet forum"

    Yeah, he has a kind of duality. World famous lothario and genius, but mainly famous for regularly posting his knitting patterns on an internet forum. He's a symphony in wool!

    It's normal, but to a point. It's perfectly common to stalk someone you're envious of on the internet, but preserving his posts and pictures in a Word document?

    Focus on your own life, because you're wasting it on wanting someone else's. If you keep this up, eventually you'll start blaming him for some problematic area in your life.

    No dude, it's not cool! I hate stalkers. I mean, lead your own life. You can make a fucking change! Don't try to live someone else's life. It's your life! Lead it in a productive manner! Don't sit and stare of what people do. Don't waste time. Time is a gift. You can do a ton of better things, than read what some dork wrote on facebook!

    Easy for me to say to you, but please PLEASE get your own life.

    Your life is at a low point, you tell us: truly sorry to hear that, but comparing yourself to this individual is neither healthy nor normal. Stop the copy & paste stuff at once.

    Once more: easy for me to say, but please go out more and meet people with interests similar to your own. Join a group, go out walking, take some photos outside (people will always want to know you when you do this, trust me) but I am certain you know you can do better with your life.

    It is entirely possible he is some kind of tosser in any case, believe me. Be your own person.

    I truly wish you well.
