First of all i say Ex but i really mean nearly a relationship because lucky for me it fizzled out before anything of any significance took place.
I have managed to distance myself from an individual who despite the appearance of having a bubbly personality and a likable social butterfly is actually a self serving and manipulative insufferable know-it all who thinks she has the right to walk all over people.
Despite being initially attracted to this aspect of her character I know can see the other side to it which has left me quite frankly nauseated.I was stalked and labeled by her peers and forced to reject activities which once made me happy because unfortunately for me she has managed to weed herself in and convince others of her well natured , intelligent and fun loving free spirit.What it boils down to is her selfish need to have control.
I soon felt the effects of her psychosis when she began to leave indications that she “did not feel safe in my company” by telling me outright that she kept a GPS on her person so friends would know where she was if she was out with me, or that she would not want me to know where she resided even though i never expressed any intention nor needed nor wanted to know .If i tried to talk to her she became apprehensive at which point I backed away only for her to approach me again.Maybe it was it was an attempt to stay friends and nothing more at this stage but i definitely did not push matters.In fact all my friendly intentions and only those were being pushed away even though i did feel at some point that i was actually beginning to like her as more than that, even though already alarm bells should have been ringing as i noticed how she would have very changeable personality traits from one moment to another
We exchanged a lot of text messages until at one point her paranoia became obvious as i brought in discussion the phenomena of Near Death Experiences-it drove her to raise an alarm that i was threatening her which was already ludicrous, however through her (cyber)stalking and candid gossip of me she became aware of some aspects of my life which happened to revolve around the most painful aspects of it.Thus began the sarcasm about me and even more paranoia when i apparently read a link on a topic in which a person of the same name had been killed, which only served to fuel her paranoia that i was hinting or making some kind of threat.Again after alerting peers who where already poisoned by her previous banter i now became the object of some hate mail which initially i regarded with spite but which became increasingly violent in nature.
If you are reading this by now I am sure that your viewpoint even as you regard violence against women of any kind despicable as i do , that there is something abnormal in all of this and that i was right in backing off to the extent of not wanting to talk to her.The mails stopped after i sent her a note apologizing ( for something i did not do) proving both that she/her peers was/were the origin of the abominable messages i was receiving.
i was portrayed as a violent , resentful and bitter person who could not take being rejected and sought to have some kind revenge upon her. Now any individual with some sense knows when it time to walk away for good from something which has gone so sour but my problem is being left with all the bad taste in my mouth, having an environment poisoned against me and feeling sick over the way that she thinks she can interfere in my life with extremely sarcastic tones in her messages where she seems to poke fun at my weaknesses.How do you curb ones reactions to these provocations?it is said that distance cannot resolve what memories bring to life but what else can i do to uproot the feeling of nausea each time i have to deal with such an individual?What do you do when insult is added to injury?

March 17, 2014 at 6:41 am #52864ChadParticipantI dont have much respect for a person who initiates a smear campaign about an ex, once out of a relationship. This says a lot more about her than it does about you. I also dont have much respect for her friends who so blindly go along with her account of the situation. Most intelligent people know there is your side, her side and the truth.
She interferes with your life because you allow her to. Why are you still talking to this person? or having involvement in her world? Are you receiving any benefit or joy from these exchanges. You can curb your reactions to these provocations by removing her acts from your life completely.
I understand that you feel you are not willing to sacrifice areas of your life and hobbies. However for your own healing and mental well being you may need to find new outlets, or at least remove yourself from familiar ones. Until you are at a point emotionally where her attempts to start drama wont phase you. Until you reach a point of indifference towards her behavior.
I hear your point about being attracted to one personality trait only to realize later on that sword has two edges. Its the dichotomy of ones personality that I do not think I will ever become expert in understanding or being able to discern. She sounds like a master manipulator and it seems the puppet strings are still attached to you. You say you apologized for something you did not do. Again, why?
It seems you are still giving much credence to this persons ability to influence your life, thoughts and emotions. You are craving understanding, and sometimes with some people there is no understanding them. Peace only comes from acceptance that they are their own person, they choose their path to walk. Accepting this however, does not mean you need to follow her down it, or choose one that parallels.
Be proud of yourself you had the sense to steer clear and dodge the bullet. Time to detach and move on. Ive read some of your other contributions on here to others. You seem to be a very considerate and intelligent person. You know what you need to do, so whats stopping you?
March 17, 2014 at 8:22 am #52867ArchieParticipantRespect- both from others and self- is the most important thing for a relationship to work out. The moment someone starts to target your respect and social standing, you need to let go of that person. The more you cling to the situation, the more it takes control over your individuality. So it’s better to stay away from such influences. But for you, the damage has been done. Now, you should try to get back your former self. Involve yourself with people and in activities that will liberate your soul. You should not let a bad memory tarnish your future. Good luck!!
