“stalking” him or her and complains of such but the only “evidence” he or she has is that supposedly some of the same users keep answering his or her questions over and over? Yet, the people she complains answer his or her (the paranoid person's) questions are regulars in the categories that he/she (the paranoid person) posts her questions in?

And, if you suggest to this paranoid person that he or she simply block the undesired answerers, then they start saying that the alleged stalkers can still answer his or her questions despite the block?

To my knowledge, once you block someone then that account cannot answer your questions anymore, so could the paranoia make it seem like it's the same people?


Answer:
Narcissism could well be a factor here. The person may think him or herself so fascinating or so amazing that others cannot help but “stalk” him, and the (potentially paranoid and/or narcissistic) individual could convince him/herself that others would go to great lengths to respond to him (e.g., use different user names, thwart blocks, etc). To suggest otherwise (e.g., you get responses from folks that happen to frequent the same category) to the person, to him/her, says “you are just ordinary”. That doesn't sit well with a narcissist, and they'll likely fight vehemently against even very logical arguments which suggest that they are nothing special.

Answer:
It might just be a coincidence. Do you post under the same topics? That might be a reason you feel the same people are answering your questions. How can you even tell? to be honest when I reply to a question I don't even look at the name or picture of the person. I just answer the question.

Answer:
i haven't felt stalked here. i only read the questions and the answers, don't care who posts them.
