If you are being stalked you must . . .
1 – Put an end to all communication including not responding — or reacting in a detectable way — to threats or intimidations, no matter how scared you are. Remember to treat the threat like you would a promise: evaluate the issuer’s character, motives, and the circumstances in order to judge how likely he is to carry out the threat.
2 – Avoid any personal contact. Treat any stalker as if he is extremely dangerous and stay away from that person whenever possible. Should the stalker confront you try to curb any actions or words that might provoke an angry reaction, since he has little to lose. Keep unavoidable encounters brief and don’t get drawn into discussions or negotiations. And be especially careful around holidays, since those seem to incite stalker activity.
