How do you stay safe from a psychopath?

[Anonymous]

I’ve had a few predatory men pursue me over the years, as a naive autistic woman. I have attracted the attention of a man who my psychologist described as a dangerous psychopath.

i was set to have a date with him, when he started talking about ‘going wild’ with me in a motel room and at various favourite spots in the remote bushland. So I had a bad feeling and blocked him.

Since then, he’s been contacting me from other numbers and he made a fake Facebook alias where he tried to disguise himself by shaving his head and facial hair and tried to gather more information about me and convince me to hook up with him. I wasn’t specific about where I live. It also doesn’t say on my Facebook profile where I’m from. He knows it’s in Sydney, Australia, but he doesn’t know which area. He thinks it’s the suburb before the one where I live, which I rarely go to.

I don’t think I’m in danger. But I’m being cautious.

No, I’m not trolling.

I think you are already doing most of what you should do. You are aware that he is potentially a danger. You have not given him identifying information.

Don't respond to him online. Even though you haven't given identifying info, any little thing you say can potentially give a hint about who and where you are. So zero contact.

Just continue to be aware. I don't think the police will do anything at this point. But if you ever feel like you are in danger, contact them anyway. At least give them a heads up.

First that's not a psychopath. The fact he needs some emotional attachment to you so much proves that alone.

But he is for sure dangerous with an obsession. Eventually one will stop if ignored enough but you have to make sure he thinks it's useless. Longs if there is hope he'll probably keep trying. He will lose that hope more you go off the radar. Though you need to tell cops too.
