Story So my social media is being stalked... (Plus a thank you to the people of this forum)

[slamjoetry]

I'll try to sum this up as quick as I can. Last year, I had a friend (let's call him K) who formed a social group in my city for people to hang out and make friends. He died a few months ago, and the group has been taken over by a different group of people. When I tried to enter this new version of the group, they refused me. I asked why and they told me it's because I'm too mentally unstable to be part of their group. I told them that they don't even know me, nor is it their place to be making those kinds of judgements about me. In this conversation, they revealed to me that they have been stalking my social media, including mental health subreddits that I've gone to for support. I told them that it's none of their business and they proceeded to mock me and insult me. One of them said "Please don't insult him. He's a good person but he's very mentally unwell and doesn't know what he's saying." I have never felt so patronized, and shamed for my mental illness. And on top of all that, they were spreading around lies that before K's death, I was insulting him and had bad blood with him, and that's completely untrue.

I contacted some of the places I frequent that I know they also go to, and I told the owners about what happened. They're going to have eyes on them so they don't harass me. I also let the moderators of the group know that if they take their stalking any further, I will contact the police. I don't think they know about SS, so I think I'm safe here. I hope it ends here and I don't have to deal with it any more cause it caused a serious panic attack at first. I'm so grateful that I can come here to people who understand, and know that my depression doesn't define me. I feel loved and welcomed here, and that's more than I could ever ask for. Thank you. You guys are amazing.

Clearly not people I would ever want to be around, but that is so messed up what they've said and done. I am glad to hear you took some action and let that be the end of it. Screw those ignorant, judgmental creeps. You def deserve better.

That's horrible, bullying you because you are looking for support. They are assholes.

Just cheer yourself up by having a wee peep at my logo and reminding yourself that you generously made it up and gave it to an aspiring, would be Jester.

What's stopping you from being a jester now?

What's stopping you from being a jester now?

Basically, lack of talent, wit, ability, worldly experience and I hate and detest Pizza. Which, I'm guessing from the views of my role model, @EvisceratedJester , is an almost insurmountable obstacle to full Jesterhood.

Nah, you'll get there eventually. The first step is learning to like pizza. This step has less to do with being a jester and more to do with being a decent human being.
