He’s right. 🤷🏽♀️ No one needs to be hounding people like that. I know as a non major public figure other than legitimate Human Rights and some in the arts just having my privacy provably invaded and harassed daily for a prolonged period of time is not okay or cool whatsoever. People do need to be aware of healthy boundaries. No one needs to be hounding people all up in their lives, business, or anything else. After awhile it’s legally called restraining order and or lawsuit otherwise. People really do need to be aware of their position and not overstep their bounds for either positive let alone negative towards others. 🤷🏽♀️ One of my most artistically admired musicians of all time ,Prince, once told the story of his philosophy towards a stalker that continually came up on his lawn basically. I’ve made points with this story before and it needs to be noted this type of confrontation is not generally advised because stalkers especially resentful or violent prone ones in some way it’s not a great idea. Generally any communication is not advisable. In his case it worked — in most cases it doesn’t because they seek interaction. This was retold in a Rolling Stone article the day following his transition. I’ve attempted similar in my cases openly a few times and they too didn’t have an answer for it really of what exactly their end goal or motive was just to be acknowledged in some way I suppose of course it didn’t end it ultimately but I could tell it made them back off for a day or 2. 🤷🏽♀️ Point is you have to have respect for people, their lives, bounds, and spaces otherwise not only does it make those who do look really foul but also does have consequences for it. People need to know the differences between resenter, fan, someone met briefly usually, 1 night stands, acquaintance, close circle of actual friends, screw buddies, industry th_ts aka hook ups, lover, significant other, or anything else often the lines are blurred and that’s where the problem lies. There’s definitely levels to it and honestly has to be otherwise you get people who don’t know where they stand in life. Technologies like social media really drive that syndrome. There a difference between support and surveillance.
