Joined a gaming group, slowly started to speak to someone and make a close friend. 3 months went on, eventually he said he "like liked" me. I said i didn't feel the same. He took it well and said he was happy to remain friends. We had exchanged Christmas cards before it all went to hell, so he knew where i lived. Then the little quips of intensity started, until he was calling me 50 times a day, all day every day needed to stay in contact. Slowly chats turned to harrassment every day, making up stories of things I hadn't done, berating me and blowing up if I didn't reply within a 30 second window. I tried to cut him off but then it would make it 10x worse to where he was screaming to everyone that he was going to k**l himself if I didn't speak to him, I was only 18 at the time. It was easier to just keep the peace than to try and get away. Then the gifts started, sending things to my house, turning up at my house multiple times a week even though he lived 300 miles away. He told everybody a completely different story to what he was actually doing to make himself look better and come out on top. It only stopped when I contacted the police. His entire family still blame me.
