This week: How not to suck: Don't be like Mike.
In order to dodge being a slanderer. I won't post this idiot's last name. But I an be so bold to say this guy named Mike I know. Has no friends. I'm not his friend. I hate this kid. For good reason. he has a martyr complex. That however is not the only reason I dislike him for a great deal.
The main reason I can't stand him is because he stalks my friends. He isn't the only one. There are lots of others mostly how have received stalker nick names. There is nothing more detrimental to having decent friendships that recieving the nick name with stalker in it. Stalker Dave, Stalker JMC, Asian Stalker.
Some of the best advice is that you are NOT A STALKER. Don't be a Stalker. 5 words. They are very simple to follow. Don't attach yourself to someone emotionally and phyisically who clearly rejects you and follow them everywhere. It's not a good idea.
Also don't get thier personal information and send them several letters and e-mails confessing your already rejected love for them. Do not under any circumstances invite yourselves along on their parties or trips and events. Don't bitch to everyone they know that you love them and ask for advice on how to make them love you.

I understand and so does everyone that getting and keeping friends is not easy, but acting like a creepy person does not lend any credit to your case.
Harassing people because they have done something you dislike also does not help. Do not report false occurances of harassment simply because you feel wounded. Sometimes it's hard to move on. But usually that's what you need to do. If you need to move on and find new friends who are into different stuff that's a great idea.

Rather than alienate everyone who knows you already by acting like a martyred and self important mousey somebody who only knows the ability to be a buzz kill.

Another aspect of stalking is definitly reading peoples livejournals and facebook status updates and then talking to them constantly of what they've written with random references not actually tied into anything that they or you have said during the whole conversation.
ex: Me: Yea, it was a heck of a zoo trip Him: I bet, and if you ever need someone to talk to any time of day feel free to call me.
I sat there for a good hour trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about. Two days later I figured it out I had bitched about how no one was online to talk to at 4am. Well to be fair to everyone else it was 4 fucking am. No one is supposed to be online. I didn't mean to imply I never had anyone to talk to. Which is apparently what he assumed. Still there was no need to just drop a line like that. One time I also got into a car with him and he made a reference to a livejournal account I had that he wasn't not supposed to know about. How he found out I do not know, but to cut a long story short I could write entries and entries on how not to suck off his example. I felt it important to include that little tidbit however.

Thank Mike and Tam for this Shining Example of Douche Bag. Now you know more of what.. NOT TO DO
