Content warning:mentions of harassment and self-harm.
“The strangest reaction I ever got was actually a good one!
I told him I was under 21, and he was like, ‘Oh!
Oh my God!!
I’M SO SORRY!!!’
Usually, they don’t care and keep trying to be creepy, so that surprised me.”
I was 27!"
“One person painted a portrait of me holding their heart.”
“He named a crawfish after me and called it ‘Babymomma.'”
to get back at me.
But he must’ve been psychic, because decades later, it turns out he was right!"
“I told a Tinder date that I didn’t feel chemistry with him but we could be friends.
He then tried to act like the time we’d spent together hadn’t even been a date.
“He publicly commented that he ‘didn’t have sex with me…YET!’
and I explained to him it’s never gonna happen.
I guess he doesn’t know what ‘yet’ means…”
11.
“He threatened to gather his friends from prison and come to my house.
He asked my coworker if she thought I was interested in him.
Thankfully, that coworker was my mom, and she shut him down REEEEALLY quick!”
“He started a club with his friends and called it the ‘Kill [My Name] Club.’
BUT also bought me a glass elephant for my collection.”
“A man carved my name into his arm!”
