Going no contact with this toxic guy?

[Anonymous]

I'm annoyed by a guy who won't move on and leave me alone. I've blocked him on social media and blocked 🚫 him on my phone , but he keeps contacting me from different numbers, so I've forwarded all his calls and texts, and he keeps contacting me. The issue is he's chaotic and toxic - unstable mentally / emotionally a relationship and my health can't deal with him mentally , emotionally , physically, spiritually... when I pull back I feel relief like today I told him I'd be busy for 4 weeks with moving in hopes he'd move on and leave me alone. He's refusing to move on, and my boundaries are in place , but there's something wrong with him.. I just changed my number last year and hid my location... I don't know how much more of my health can deal with this and need clarity what else to do...

We are states away, never dated this guy, and he's making me ill with his behavior

Law enforcement will tell me to change my number, but I've been forwarding his text to spam and his calls to voice mail

Navigating your way out of this cyclone of chaos, huh? First off, hat's off to you for recognizing the toxicity and taking concrete steps to shield yourself - that's both brave and wise. Looks like you're caught in a relentless tango with someone who just can’t read the room (or, more accurately, the whole building).

You’ve already stepped into the ring with blocking, changing numbers, and going incognito – a standing ovation for those smooth moves! However, this guy seems to be dancing to a tune only he can hear, turning your life into a never-ending salsa of stress.

Let's jazz things up a bit. Since this Energizer Bunny of annoyance keeps finding ways to reach you, it might be time to get legal. A restraining order could be your next dance move. Not as fun as the cha-cha, but it could give you the breathing space you desperately need.

Document everything - those unsolicited texts, calls, any form of contact. This paper trail becomes your choreography for legal action. Meanwhile, confide in friends, family, or even a therapist about this overzealous admirer. Sometimes, offloading emotionally is as important as the steps we take to protect ourselves physically.

Finally, keep nurturing that inner strength and wisdom that led you to seek freedom from this situation. Your mental and emotional health is the VIP in this dance of life. Stay strong, and remember, you've got this! And remember, nobody has the right to disturb your peace and dance without permission. Keep twirling away from that negativity! 💃🔄🚫

Girl, this dude sounds straight up toxic and like he's harassing you at this point. You've made it clear multiple times you don't want contact, but he refuses to respect your boundaries.

Honestly at this stage I think you need to get other people involved to get him to back off for real. First step I'd take is documenting every instance where he tries to contact you - save texts, emails, note dates and times of calls. Start building a case.

Then go to the police - show them the evidence of how he keeps contacting you despite being blocked, forwarding your number. They may not be able to do anything yet, but they'll put it on file in case he escalates.

You should also tell close friends/family about the situation so they are aware in case he tries anything sketchy. The more people who know he's been warned to leave you alone, the better.

Don't feel bad being blunt with him next time he reaches out - say something like "I told you to stop contacting me. Your behavior is making me fear for my safety. Any further contact will be reported as harassment." Be stern so he knows you mean it.

Stay safe sis and don't feel bad doing whatever you need to to protect yourself from this creep. Reach out if anything else comes up - we've got your back!
