Have you ever stalked an Ex on Social Media?

Question

ShadezMcgee · Accepted Answer

No, the exact opposite. Once we were done we were done. No need to give them more power or energy by checking on how their life is going. I am civil with my exes but not friends with them, but my first girlfriend was the first to follow me on IG after the breakup and add me back on snap after 3 months no contact and us meeting up when she came back home for a bit.

I say it worked better for us both. She got to pursue her dreams and is doing well for herself, but she still struggles finding a man to commit. Not sure if it is just lack of interest or her personality and desire for a man on her level or higher. Either way, she still frequents my snapchat stories and did so again yesterday.

No, usually I either blocked them or stopped caring about them.
An ex is an ex after all! There's no reason or good motivation to keep in contact with them unless is for work or to give them back their belongings. Stalking them on social media is immature and creepy.

By "stalk", do you mean occasionally check their profile to see what they were up to, or obsessively check it on a daily basis/several times per day?

I'm still friends with one, so there's nothing to stalk (or at least no reason to). I've checked the other's profile maybe a handful of times in the last nearly 6 years, just out of curiosity when he's crossed my mind, or when someone brought up something about him to me that they saw and I looked for myself, lol. Otherwise, I rarely bother.

Lol that's a bit too extreme for me.

I just don't know how to let go if I get truly invested in someone so if it ends prematurely

I view their page to see them without talking to them cause they dont deserve me talking to them... ugh buy I still miss what I had

Anyways 🙃
That only happens a few times then I get over it

NathanDavis · Answer

no... I don't even have social media networks lol

if I want to know any about them, I can just text them... we're still in touch lol

I just met one of them days ago, and will meet another by the weekend

annyasansiri · Answer

Definitely. and its not wrong. we're humans after all. you have a right to be curious. you guys dated! but, if your goal was to get over him, you shouldn't try to stalk your ex. but then again, we all have impulses and different ways to cope with curiosity. So my advice to you, to each their own ways of coping... whatever puts your mind at ease.

I’m not gonna lie but a few years ago my answer would have been yes. I just always wanted to feel the satisfaction of seeing them not moving on. However more recently I don’t stalk any of my exes. It’s either because I’m genuinely done and I don’t care (it doesn’t cross my mind), or it’s the fact that I consciously choose to save myself the heartache.

Yes and I’m not proud of it. It really hurt me much more than it hurt her. I never “did anything” in response to what she posted. Admittedly seeing her post goofy pics where she looked less attractive made me feel better. She also posted lots of political opinions that I completely disagreed with. That made me feel better too. She once put up a tweet on her bday about how she thought about all the people she hurt and it prematurely aged her. THAT I admit just made my day.

But I did see some things that depressed me (her with other guys). But again that hurt me a lot more than it hurt her.

In retrospect I’m embarrassed I wasted so much time following that. If she wouldn’t of been so nasty during the break up I think it would of been a lesser issue.

My biggest flex is I don't have ex 😂 but I have crush on someone and I'm stalking him almost every day. It's almost 2 year and a half I become a "spy" for myself haha lol

electromagnetic · Answer

Haha. I haven’t so much ‘stalked’ more so went on their Instagram page to unlike anything I liked, remove any comments, then block them.

Coulis · Answer

Most definitely. But it isn't stalking in the intrusive sense. You are just looking at what they voluntarily put out there.

es20490446e · Answer

I expressed my discontent after she left me for another guy, same as she did with her previous lover with me. It should be a hobbie of her or something.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

I've looked at their profile once or twice over the years.

Starrisunset · Answer

I'm a little shamed to admit it, but yes. Shortly after the break up he was already dating someone else. I wanted to see if she was prettier than me lmao 😅

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Yahoo Answers and here have been my only foray into Social Media. I wouldn't waste my time signing up for accounts with faceache or twat-her just to stalk someone who wasn't interested in me.

Juleskik67 · Answer

Yep - and Social Media makes it worse - if their phone number is in your phone, lots of apps prompt you to follow/add them: "This Person is now on xxxxx"

NightHawk99 · Answer

Yeah, only to make sure she ain't making shit up about me.

Gwenhwyfar · Answer

No. But I’ve been stalked.

Slartybartfast · Answer

I moved 1100 miles away from jobs, friends and family just to avoid accidentally running into her.

Anonymous · Answer

"Stalk" makes it sound so sinister. No I was pretty much done chasing women by the time social media came around. I'm the old fashioned type. You know sit outside her place of work, follow her home etc.

Starwitch23 · Answer

Yes, I did. So much that I looked up his house at Google map. I knew everything about his company.
