9 Ways to Protect Yourself When Someone is Stalking You
6. Stop posting updates and pictures online
To protect yourself when someone is stalking you, stop posting updates and pictures on all social networks and blogs that you may be accessing. This will reduce the amount of information that your stalker has about you if he is accessing your social media profile by some means.
7. Change your privacy settings on all social networks
Whether you think that your stalker is in your friend list or not, change the privacy settings on all the social networks that you have a profile on. Change it to a level where only the people you want, or those in your friend list can view your pictures, posts and personal information. Stop others from tagging you in their pictures and don’t allow anyone to see pictures of yourself that you wouldn’t want strangers to get their hands on.
8. Remove unknown people from your online friend lists and chat messengers
You may have unknowingly accepted a random friend request from a person who had mutual friends with you, but that may be how your stalker managed to access your online profile on a social network. Protect yourself by going through your entire friend list on all the social networks and even your chat messenger lists, and remove any unknown person.
9. Consider installing a home security system
You should consider installing a home security system if you think that your stalker can cause harm to you. Get the doors, windows and other openings of your house secured so that alarms can deter intruders. Till the time you decide to install a home security system, make sure that the locks on all your doors and windows are working properly and keep them shut all the time.
