Others Empathize Too
While the past few entries have been dwelling on the stalker gathering knowledge and empathy, one must also be aware that we don't exist in a vacuum. To put it in another way, others have empathy and deduce their info as well, although perhaps not on such a finely honed level.
Which entails that this might disrupt our gathering of info, if not into trouble. For one thing, we're prying into people's lives, perhaps their public lives but generally something they don't want people to dwell on. Thus if they think "we're onto them", they might avoid use entirely and tell us to go away, or compromise themselves by not acting in character or keeping a tight lid on their actions and words.
Of course the fact that others have good perception as well is a means for us to gather also more data. We can rely not only on our own findings but on other people's as well. Just be sure to distinguish what part is gossip and what part actually happened.
Lastly, we shouldn't act like a know-it-all. I dislike bragging, especially since it draws attention to you when more often than not, a stalker should be discreet (but sometimes, appearing in public is a way of concealing yourself though). It enables other people to gather information about us (and someone else will always be watching), which is something we should guard against. And of course, there's probably someone better than you at stalking, but you shouldn't let the other side know that.

I can't beleive you people are taking these posts seriously... =)
Dear, the secret of stalking is to remain inconspicuous. If that means being the loud mouth to throw off suspicion, by all means do so. ^_^(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
