What do you do if you know someone who’s a stalker?

I know someone who is very close to me who is a stalker. She does is openly. She talks about the young man as if they are in a real relationship. The young man has rejected her and even wrote her a letter telling her to stop stalking him. But she ignores all that. She said that the young man is her soulmate and that he’s prevented from wanting to be with her by his family and friends. I find that she’s delusional. The young man even took out a TRO (temporary restraining order) against her but that didn’t stop her from continuing to stalk him. I pity her because I know she’s a really nice and kind person but why is she like this? I talked to her about this and told her to find someone else? But she insisted that this young man is her soulmate. How do I help this person?

I think she needs professional help. I would be hesitant to become very involved because you never know how things will evolve since there is already restraining order. I would kindly propose to your friend to see a psychologist.

I think she’s been seeing a psychologist. I don’t know if it had helped her but apparently not because recently, I heard that she had to spend seven or nine days in prison because she broke the restraining order. But when I contacted her last, the prison experience didn’t much change her feelings for the young man. I’m trying to help her. She’s not a bad person.

@UmiNoor I understand that you want to help. I think she needs to understand first that these feelings are only from her side. You need to have two willing participants for any relationship and in this one she is alone.

Yeah, she’s been seeing a psychologist but I don’t know if that helps her. I just pity her.

Um that's a tough one. My favorite is I have big dogs people never mess with me. t works was telling how a long while back neighbors had a party and homie tries to sneak in, Not sure if was a joke or homie had to much to drink. Did not matter not getting far. Tristan had him three feet in.Not biting, just not your house please leave. I was listening closely and figured probably a prank, nah, did not have to get up and they all were trying to become police men. I knew not so serious. I did call it and told them next day not cool. My sister goes I heard someone got lost. Never heard them so quiet.

Yes, big dogs do help to keep people out of your home.
