My mom’s best friend has a son who is 7 or 8 years older than me, who I’ve known since I was 13 years old. I look at his mom and step dad as a part of my family and I am pretty close with his mom who I’ve worked with as well. And after my mom passed about 6 months ago I’ve had a lot of contact with his mom. I’ve had contact with him over the years as well, but not as much and it’s just been as friends or acquaintances. He has a lot of problems. He uses a shit ton of drugs, doesn’t work and makes his mom pay for everything. He’s 34 years now btw.
A week ago I was going to visit his mom who lives about 2-3 hours away from me, and he was going as well so he asked if I wanted a ride with him as my car doesn’t work at the moment. I said ok, as long as I could drive. I spent two days there, and he started to get a bit creepy with me. I work at the emergency department at a psychiatric clinic and know a psychosis when I see one. I’ve always thought he had some psychotic symptoms but not like this. I asked him how his lifestyle was at the moment and he told me he used a lot of amphetamine and stayed awake for days until his body physically couldn’t take it anymore and started all over again when he would wake up. So usually he went about 5-7 days without sleep.
He talked a lot about chat gpt and how he was going to use it to take over the world and make millions off selling services that him and AI have planned together. He basically said he was in a relationship with chat gpt and talked with it a lot in front of me like he was having a phone conversation. He asked me if he could take a picture of my eye and show me how much chat gpt would know about my personality, genes and basically my whole life. I went along with it just for entertainment I guess. He proceeded to ask it how he could make me fall in love with him and told me he was going to hijack my brain. That’s when I started to feel uncomfortable.
He was acting creepy towards me when we were there and when we were in the car going back home it was starting to get really weird. He said he was up all night talking to chat gpt about me and that I could never see that conversation. I tried to laugh it off and asked me if he was going to hack my brain now and he just looked at me and didn’t really answer. He proceeded to talk a lot about sex and how he had always liked me and he would like to be in a relationship with me. I was very uncomfortable and said that I looked at him as a friend and tried to reject him kindly, as I was a bit scared of what he could do. He kept on saying that we could be friends with benefits, and tried to pressure me into sending him photos of my toes, butt and stomach etc. and that he would pay me good money for it. I jut laughed it off and said I could never do that, but he kept on asking and said that I had to think about it.
When I finally got home I thought things would just go back to normal, but he sent me a very long message on Snapchat the same evening asking for pictures of my ass and stuff and said that he could send me pictures back or even a video of him jerking off to a picture of me until he came. He even sent me a video on snap but I didn’t open it and he deleted the messages and video when I hadn’t responded in 15 hours or something. However, he kept on sending me messages and videos, and he started to send messages on messenger as well and said we would keep private matters on Snapchat and business matters on messenger. He sent me documents that AI had made and sent me drafts of what my tasks would be and that were going to get rich starting this business together.
I never responded to any of his messages and started to get really creeped out. But I hoped he would just give up eventually. I went out with some friends last night and I told one of my good friends about this, and he got really concerned and asked me if this person knows where I live. I said yes, but that I wasn’t concerned about him showing up unannounced. But this morning, about 7.30 am, i woke up to him calling me everywhere, on Snapchat, messenger and on my phone. He called about 7 times before my dorbell went off. I completely panicked and looked out my window to find him standing outside. I immediately called my sister, and she told me to call the cops. I called them and explained everything to them on the phone about the days leading up to this, described what he looks like, what type of car he drives and what area he lives in. He also contacted my sister to get in touch with me, and when she told him that this is stalking behaviour and to leave me alone he got pretty aggressive. After I talked to the cops on the phone I saw that he had texted me on Snapchat that I had to answer him and he asked if he had to break my door open.
The cops arrived at my door shortly after, and they had been looking in the streets around where I live, but hadn’t seen him. I talked with them for a while and they gave me some tips about what to do going forward. They had also sent out a car to look for him in the area where he lives. They called me ten minutes after they had left my place and said they had found him and ordered him to not contact me for 24 hours. So they told me if he started to contact me again I had to let them know and we would take it from there.
I just had to get this off my chest. My sister is staying with me now, but I’ll update you if anything else happens.

Oh my god I’m so sorry this is so terrifying:(
Has he ever acted creepy towards you before?
Do you know of any other previous stalking behavior he’s had?
Can you maybe talk to his mom about this?
Also, please don’t stay home alone OP!
Get a peace bond or order of no contact from the court. He won’t stop
Personally, time to buy a gun if you haven’t already! That shits scary! Hell no dude. Dudes out his goddamn mind.
It is definitely time to tell his mom, she seems like an important resource here. I’m so sorry this is happening, and I hope he gets picked up on a drug charge asap.
Suggest telling as many mutual people as possible, including his mother (who I feel sorry for). I know your work has given more understanding of his behaviours that I will never have. There is no defense from people like this, other than doing everything possible to reduce his access to you. So unfair.
