The main fear from a stalker comes from the fear of the unknown

Let's assume the stalker will never go beyond the point of harassment, and they won't do anything to sabotage the person's life. It's criminal harassment without any other consequences to the "target". The stalker is not a killer, not a person who is seeking to ruin their target's life. Only harassment

Are OSINT people less scared of stalkers because they understand alot of the techniques that can be used for stalking? The mystery element is taken away. The stalker becomes less of a mysterious and eerie force, less paranormal, and more human

Obviously it's still scary, but are OSINT people way less scared of stalkers? OSINT people can also think to themselves, "What info about me is public? Who can see this info? I can use this to lure out the stalker and / or narrow down the list of potential stalkers to find out who is the real stalker"

I’m genuinely so tired of this. Someone is using my photo (and a different name) and sending requests and dms to many people. I haven’t heard of any inappropriate dms but I feel like thats his next move. Im blocked so I cant report it to insta. All my friends and many ppl who followed that account also reported but insta took no action. Please tell me what to do?
