Scary....I mean really scary...

I would like to think I am a friendly person, and I do try to give people my time, but I am a little wary of certain people, and now I know why. I have a myspace account, and I rarely go there, as I find most of the people whose profile I've looked at are fakes, either too good to be true, or love themselves more than is humanly decent to. So I leave my profile as a simple page, and I don't pay anymore attention to it. In the beginning of August I get a message from some guy called Dennis and he had a really cute picture of him and his little girl, so I thought ok I will add him as a friend, since he seems like a nice person. So I pay no attention to it, as I am unlelievably busy at work, and with the rest of my friends going through some tragedy I am giving all my time to them. So time passes and he adds me on yahoo, and I chat with him, just everyday how are you, and im good, was at the gym, blah blah. So he says he wants to meet me, something about my smile blah! blah! I told him I am really busy which is the honest to god truth, and he gives me his cellphone, his home number and his address. I'm thinking OhhhhhK! I just brushed it off, and thought maybe he is just really open and honest and wanting to be friends.
I told him. I'm not able to meet him as I am so busy with work, and he leaves offlines telling me I hide behind my computer and the gym and I am scared!!! I think oooh this guy is a little too blatant to be my friend. So I ignore his messages and I dont reply mainly because I have nothing to say to him, and he was starting to worry me. I thought the best way was to not encourage him. Today I was ill much like yesterday, because I had overtrained myself, so I was in no state to go anywhere anyway, not that I owe anyone else my time. So I feel sorry for him for sending so many messages, that I leave him a message telling him hey I'm sorry I never got to reply to your messages, as I am ill, and I was resting.
He sends me numerous messages and tells me I'm too dramatic LOL! I thought Oh Dear! He then proceeds to tell me that because I go to the gym I should never be ill, and that statement still makes me laugh since it was actually overtraining in the gym that got me in this state. The messages continue even when I ignore him. I decided the best way was to be honest and tell him I find him sarcastic and I dont want to be friends with him, as I am too sensitive, and we would not get along. OMG! that was when he went ballistic, insulting me and cursing me as in telling I am a liar, phony!! LMAO! Well who knew huh?
So it doesn't end there he then sends me a message on myspace cursing me and telling me I am crazy dumb *&%$ &#%^$@ LOL! Then he post a comment about me telling everyone to watch out for me, wait would that be the 30 people who added me, both male and female, and the 30 people who were already my friends who've spent time with me, and most of whom know me better than anyone LOL! Rather funny since his friends are all women whom he had never met, and I pray for their sake he never will. It just gets better and better, because when I search further into his profile I find he had done this to others, as in there are many people whom he has harrased and I guess his ego just cant take NO as an answer, to the point where he was really abusing them and harrasing them and publishing their phone numbers! All that is left to say is that if you think someone is weird, go with your first impression, if they look psychotic, they act psychotic, they sound psychotic, and they talk like a psychotic, then it stands to reason they are psychotic. Not schizophrenic, or a little weird, Psychotic! What really scares me is he said his little girl doesn't live with him even though her mom is dead, she lives with her grandma for medical reasons, now I'm wondering is it coz of her dad's medical reasons? I don't know I just feel sorry for the little girl, she was so cute too. Oh! well I'm sure that is not the end of the weirdo, but to be honest he does not know where I live, whereas he gave me his address, so stands to reason if there was anyone dumb it would not be me.
So today I am grateful I did not give any of my details to this person and that I listened to my instinct, so to everyone out there as naive and trusting as me, please be careful, because there is a schizo out there when you least expect it. Not everyone is as they seem on the internet. I had to find that out the hard way in the past 6 years. Remember that its easy to pretend to be someone else, and dont put yourself at risk, especially the women out there, don't ever give your address, or telephone number so easily.
