Something tells me Jinda needs to look deep in herself and figure some stuff out ... you don’t send messages like that to someone you love as a “friend”.

[battlevain]

It's all about her and what she wants and nothing or nobody else matters. These people never self-reflect. She cannot see how damaging she is towards others. Me, me and more me. This woman needs serious help and lots of It.

"That sounds horrible." ... that was not Jinda saying what she thought Dr. Phil wanted to hear. That was her REALIZING how bad it did sound. Which is very encouraging. Traci didn't deserve any of this but I also feel so bad for Jinda. She doesn't want to be like this or feel like this. Hopefully she was able to recognize she had a problem and was able to get help for it.

Wtf 😂 if I got those texts from anyone that’s not my man you’re getting blocked

[jackgrant]

Love and friendship is an important thing in life and it looks to me this woman does truly love her, but a bit too much to the point where it’s affected her mental health and obsession is really unhealthy for a person, especially when it comes to love or friendship. I do hope she gets some help and eventually moves on with her life.

I think Jinda did care for her best friend well ex friend romantically am sure before she crossed the line they had a great friendship before jinda crossed the line sad she got extreme she lost a great friend people need to respect boundaries because there going to lose great people in there life jinda needs help hope she got it .

[jinphipany]

I'm in this situation right now and it creeps me I feel guilty at the same time because I do really ignore her but I need to that because her actions are so uncomfortable for me.

[andrewlardieri]

I would NEVER EVER text a friend 50 times a day and creep them out. But do I have a hard time accepting when a friendship ends because that's what I worry about every day of life and it's harder when you're autistic like me.

[gianasmith]

This poor woman needs a 72 hour hold! She going to hurt someone with her obsession!

[ryanstauffer]

I used to have this obsessed friend who would text me a lot. I turned my phone off just for one hour since I told him I was hanging out with some family members of mine who were visit over the holidays. When I turned my phone back on an hour later, there were 66 texts from him. I told him he needed to cut back a lot. He then asked how many and then suggested a big number of how many a day. My other friends were being bugged a lot by this guy too. We cut him out of our lives and it has been way better off without him.

[moonlightprincessxo]

I’m dealing with a guy who I met online that I became friends with who has starting to act like this I had to end the relationship and cut them out my life ! because they was stressing me out causing a lot of problems where my health was getting worse dealing with him he never respect my boundaries and I try politely to tell him respectfully in the nice way for him to understand but he being denial and won’t stop and keep on assisting to remain friends and I don’t want to deal with that in my life I just told him yesterday I’m done trying to be friends & he is doing way too much than him being too emotionally attached to me has made me uncomfortable and scared I feel like he’s become obsessed with me and become a stalker

[danielnascimento]

She wants the V bad. She’s getting all hot and bothered.

[patiencerose]

[Johnadams]

wow, this is what iam going through now. similar yet diffrent. i have a guy living like 200 feet from me across the street and a couple houses over . i will say a year or so ago the first time i went walking with him afterwards i had this very bad strang efeeling in my stomach about him and avoided im fo rawhile.
but dumb me. i forgot and decided to go with him. in th esummer rather than witner. told him it would be a coule times amonth as i like to run. but he was becoming freinds wayyyy too fasat, like too nice wway too quickly, good old love bombing i suppose. and he had manipulated me into always going with him and so forth. has always had this way tha tis so sbutle but itw as somethin gwhere I always semed to feel obligated to go wit him. he didn't actually specifically say anything specific to obligation just a very crafty way to maniuplate things.
this man has no boundereis, however, it is almos tlik ehe is extermetly careful to violate bounderies but do it in a way where it doesnt' necessarily look like it. what i mean is, he doesn't send 50 texts or 100 texts a day. he is careful. but he does said 1 or 2 more than he probably should and at inapprorprate times.
biggest example was when i explicitly told him i was going to a funeral of a friend who used to live nexxt door to me and just had seen him in th ehospital days before he died, and i know the family.
he knew i was busy at a f****G G&&G D***M funeral. and yet he texted me 4-5 times in thos 4-5 hours saying things like "are you stil lthre" "what time you leaving" "call me when you think you will be done" "do you want to walk when you get back" "have you left yet/ are you still thre"
OMFG. and yet he has done this as well on a day when he knew i was 90 miles away at a full day work golf outing. hed did this on a day i told him i was going to visit a friend an hour away.
he also left me high and dry on something in which i spedn 110 dollars on for an event he promised to go with me to. and was only going to get the tickets if I had a confirmaton. and someone that would pay for it. he knew about it for 5 weeks before the event. last week of, he starts hemming and hawing about how it wil be cold. but still said he woud og. then 2 days before he says he has to work his 1 day a week part time job and lied about it. becasue he literally had me at his house the day of still 2 hours after wha the told me was the starting time. leaving me to find someone to go who coulnd't afford the tickets.
the guy also once left me a creepy text message 'i see you running" time stamped right around the time i ran by our homes on my route. i know becasue it was 513 pm when i looiked at my watch when i got near my house. but he wanted to wlak with me . i told him 630 or after initially cuz i knew i would run. he seemed mad becasue it would be dark than. didn' ttell him what i would do becasue of his boundry isssue. he probably though i was workign til 630 but that is down right creepy
i had to literally stop communicatint with him late november. iwas told most people get the hint within 2-3 weeks. he was going on trying to text and call me for8 weks. slowly slowing down.
then it was 5-6 days and i thoguht maybe... so then he 2 weeks ago left his house at the same time i did. and he pulled his car in front of my property in front of me trying to get me to come talk to him but he was in my way. i was going somewhere. so iw ent aroun dim despite him blocking half our side street. he than proceded to follow me, i manged to lose im. and then he sent and unset a message. and hand't heard any attempt at contact in 10 days. so i figurs. ok, now i think he gets it. maybe it is over.
so 3 days ago i went for a walk when his car was gone, usually he doens't get him ti lafter 8. i goot home just befor. his car happened to go by rigt when i was waklin gy my house. he pulls in his driveway atoub 150 -200 feet from mine. he got out of the car and said my nmae just loud enough for me to ehar it. i didn't look at him . i just simply went inside and shut the door. he then calls, of course as always i don't answer. 9 weeks of no response. you would think this guy would take the hint. he seems to want to kow and act like he doesn't know what he did for me to not want to talk with him. based on everythign i just described it should be pretty obvoius. anyway. he texts me that next time he sees me he wants to talk. dude. i do NOT want to tal. i do NOT owe you an explnation. we have known each othe rmainly for 4 months before i cut you off.
this isn't like we knew each other for 8 years or something.
then he texted and fb me something about askint me what my problem is and how he was never anything but nice to me. uh yeah. fake nice to control me. whatever you say buster.
there IS a diffrence. and than said it is disrepectful to him and he will not tolerate this nonsne. but he has literally been stalking me and harassing me to a degree. i have not even been able to live my life in my own house for at least 2-3 months now beause of the stress he is causing me. and just . like the termiator. absolutely WILL NOT STOP.
but yet, knows exactly just how far he can get away with duch that the police can't do anything.

[pcpotxd]

it reminds mind of my ex emotional abuser and cyberharasser friend aha... :\

[Honestlylovely]

Everybody can go it don’t make or break me

[leighhoppins]

If someone texted me that I’d d say” you’re scaring me right now” you’re just being a creep now


I get your probably not intentionally being creepy but why can’t a friendship just be good enough for you? Eh that’s what I’d ask her or him
