I read that it’s usually someone with borderline personality disorder that will be more likely to stalk someone especially an ex

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): People with OCD may become fixated on a person and engage in repetitive behaviors related to stalking due to intrusive thoughts and compulsions.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): People with BPD may have unstable relationships and intense fear of abandonment which could lead to stalking behaviour as a way to maintain a connection with the person they're fixated on.

Delusional Disorder: This disorder involves fixed, false beliefs that are not based on reality. In some cases, individuals may develop delusions about a person, believing that they are in a romantic relationship or that the person is in danger, leading to stalking behaviour.

Paranoid Schizophrenia: People with this type of schizophrenia may experience delusions and hallucinations, which could lead them to stalk someone based on false beliefs or perceptions.

Erotimania: This is a rare disorder characterized by the delusional belief that someone, usually of higher social status, is in love with them. People with erotimania may stalk the person they believe is in love with them.

narcissism = they can't accept the fact that someone doesn't want to be with them nor can they trust

It can be comorbidity. Borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder or mostly obsessive compulsive disorder

I'd say personality disorder, also someone that has narcissism. Or maybe just somebody who has a psychopathic fixation on someone or something

Obsessive compulsive disorder mostly. Or just needing to grow up.

It's called chronic bitch dependency. And it's a no laughing matter 😅
