Internet Personalities (with Edits)

Today I may or may not be thankful for crazy internet personalities.


I think the jury is still out with regard to one person. 

I think this man and I met on a stalking page at Google+ a couple of years ago. 

This guy used to have great ideas for keeping Shannon at bay.  He told me to buy a bar for the front door.  He mentioned switching the locks and had various other ideas to help me. 

This man is fairly young.

He's also a voice over artist, like I am.

For some reason, he's been copying and sharing my statuses on Facebook every day for about three months.

Some of my status updates are incredibly personal.

At first, I didn't mind.

I don't know what to think now. 

I have to say that he is NOT a Facebook friend.

He does not follow me on Facebook, Google, Twitter, or any other social network.

He simply copies and shares my stuff.  I get a little notification every time he shares and likes something.

Lately, he's started to get personal with his comments.  He never leaves them on my page.  He posts them when he shares my stuff.

The last comment was that he hates the kind of person that I am.

Why on earth would someone watch my page, share my stuff, then put me down?

This is getting to be a tad bit weird, isn't it? 
Oh, my goodness!!!

I have an anti-fan!

*****

If Steve's blocking behavior has taught me anything, it is that Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ blocking is a joke when you have as many friends, followers, and circles as I do.

I have 500+ people on Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+.

I have 16,000 followers on Twitter.
I have a few thousand on YouTube.
I try not to keep track.  I guess my point is that I have far too many people who use my stuff to hide from the public.

It wouldn't be anything for someone to pose as a customer and friend me.  I wouldn't notice.

So.....

I don't know. 

There is no such thing as blocking. 

People always find a way to see your stuff.  Sometimes they view you through a friend's page.  Sometimes they make fake profiles and friend you.

Nothing is secret on the web.

*****

I am nearly to the point of hiring someone to do my social media or giving up on it entirely.

I need to focus on other things. 

People are weird.

They just are. 

I guess that Shannon has taught me one thing.  I don't mind Facebook stalking and crazy antics in social media.  I just hate it when people stalk me at work, on dates, and try to break into my house.

Love ya,

S.


Edit:

I did some sleuthing.  It turns out that this guy is actually an actor who has his own IMDB page (or whatever those are called).  He was stalked, so he's trying to help other stalking victims out and keep them from feeling isolated.

Okay....I started to share some of his posts.  Maybe he needs some exposure.

He's got a pretty cool Bronx accent.  I'm going to friend him on the voice actor website just in case I have a need for a male voice with an American flair for my recording projects.

There you go. 

He's not crazy.  He's trying to be helpful. 

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004.  We ran into her at a Wal-mart in 2005 and my keys went mi

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe.   It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house.  I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling.  I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here.  It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve.  ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb.  The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear.  Fear that he won't honor his financial

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much.  People change over the course of their lives.  Healthy people grow.  Unhealthy people either stay static or regress.  So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies.  If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors.   I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories.  From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory.  A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory.  When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP.  My ex is a ESTP and when he is stressed out
