STALKING

"Stalking is any behavior that would make a reasonable person feels threatened, intimidated, annoyed, or afraid."
There are one in 12 women who has been staked in there lifetime. Many stalkers have pre-existing psychotic disorders such as delusional disorder, schizo affective disorder, or schizophrenia. Most stalkers are non psychotic and exhibit disorders such as major depression, adjustment disorder, or substance dependence. Some of them have been hurt by being dumped and the fact of seeing their ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. To the victim staking can be a terrifying experience, leading them to live in fear. I do not understand why people do it; they should know that it must be hurting the person. Anyway what ever the reason for the person to stalks some one it’s wrong.
The victim becomes the stalker's source of self-esteem, and the loss of the relationship becomes the stalker's greatest fear. This dynamic makes a stalker dangerous (this how Stalking can become violent).

I agree with this. Another factor is maybe obsession with a person and the stalker feels they cannot get enough of seeing them, and want to be with them all the time.
