Why the stalking?

What goes too far? A girl friend making a fake Facebook to check up on him on their? A boy stalking people he likes online? A desperate lonely person thinking about looking for porn that two people they know might have made? Becoming jealous of ones own singleness?

The point of no return where does it begin? Stalking goes too far once the communication with the other person has taken place. It is in that moment when information is obtained without the other person knowing. Searching a person's last name, finding their father's name, and taking the house number from a phone book. Is it wrong? Or are they simply taking the opportunity what the phone book is there for? I don't know but if it goes beyond the number and it escalates to watching them as they walk and who they hang out with, without even talking to them, then that possibly went too far. When you want to know something and the Internet is at your finger tips what do you do to contain the curiosity? Do you look up info about a celebrity who has never met you? Obsess over a franchise and look up info on it?

I don't know but it seems like everyone has something they obsess over. I have my moments when I become obsessed with someone or something and become the stalker that I know I am inside. A stalker knows when they see someone in the act and how to go unnoticed when they get into the act, until they start to become paranoid that they are being stalked themselves by an entity every time they get into it. They hold themselves back from trying to get more info but eventually they'll go back and it'll lead right back to another person who they just feel the need to know everything about in an attempt to please the person when that action in itself is perverse and defeats the entire purpose of the reason. Is it illogical? Yes it is but when you stalk the fact that you know what you are doing goes ignored to let the thrill carry on and the game keeps going making it oh so fun when you yourself have no life. You wish to be the people you stalk and you begin to fantasize about what you wish were reality and if the person doesn't know how to handle it they become sucked in and stalking becomes their life.

Or maybe they just obsess with having the perfect relationship that never existed and they don't want to admit that it's bad and that they were better off being single because they feel that being single is way too hard. Machismo wins them over and they feel they can change the asshole of a guy that they're with but the friend he was is not the same as the partner you want.
