It is difficult to know for sure if you are being stalked. Most stalking episodes begin with gentle and innocent actions, such as a person continuously leaving cards or presents near your home or workplace. If these actions continue even after they have been made aware that it is making you feel uncomfortable, then it may be classified as stalking. Additionally, if someone appears where you are unexpectedly or continues to contact you even after a request to stop, this can indicate the possibility of stalking behavior.

Being stalked can be a frightening and unnerving experience. It is important to assess your situation and recognize the warning signs of stalking. Here are some things to look out for: 
- Unwanted gifts or letters
- Surveillance
- Observe or follows you in public
- Accesses your private information without permission
- Makes harassing phone calls or messages 
If you believe you are being stalked, take steps to protect yourself by contacting law enforcement, filing a protective order if necessary, reaching out to an hotline for support, and changing any passwords or security questions that could enable the stalker access to your accounts. You can also get in touch with other trusted individuals such as family members, friends, and/or counselors so they can assist in keeping you safe.
