crazy peeps

This is so random, but I wanted to ask if this has happened to anyone else before because I genuinely don’t know what to make of it.
I was in a relationship for quite a long time, and my ex lied to me constantly about literally everything. At one point, they even made an account pretending to be someone else, and they made other accounts accusing me of cheating, cracking other ppl, threatening to post my pics and saying all kinds of stuff about me, even though I knew I had never done any of it.
Eventually I broke up with them, and now they live on a completely different continent, but they’re still obsessed with me and constantly trying to keep tabs on me/stalk me. It’s honestly so weird because the relationship is over and we’re literally thousands of miles apart, yet they still somehow find ways to involve themselves in my life.
The whole situation has made me question so much because I genuinely never thought someone I was in a relationship with could become this obsessive after things ended. I also feel stupid for not realizing how bad some of their behavior was while we were together because when you’re actually in the relationship, you kind of normalize things that you probably shouldn’t.
Has anyone else dealt with something similar? Like an ex creating accounts, impersonating you, accusing you of things you never did, or continuing to obsessively monitor you even after the relationship ended? I’d really like to know if I’m the only one because this whole situation feels so bizarre

blocking everybody

Is it just me, or did you guys also end up blocking all your friends after graduating?
Honestly i blocked everyone I considered my “friends” because looking back, I realized that they were just using me for everything. They never actually cared to get to know me or build a genuine friendship, and it makes me SO angry that I didn’t notice the signs sooner. Like, how did I let myself ignore all of that??
What makes it worse is how much I overshared with some of them. I told people things they honestly never needed to know, and now I look back and cringe so hard 😬😬. It’s made me trust people way less and genuinely question whether I even want to make new friendships anymore.
Right now I actually love isolating myself and cutting people off. Of course I get lonely sometimes, but honestly? I’d rather deal with that than keep pouring my energy into people who give me nothing back or keep getting stuck in one-sided friendships.
Maybe I’ll feel differently eventually, but for now I’m genuinely done chasing friendships and trying so hard to be understood by people who don’t even care to understand me. I’d rather protect my peace and keep to myself than repeat the same mistakes again.
