To be honest, I have experienced the same issue. There's this psycho who just can't stay away from me for a second. He kept on blackmailing me the same threat "Aren't we friends? You hate me? blabla- so on. The more I ignore him the more brutal he gets... But he didn't come any close to suicide. What I did in the end was reporting the situation to the head-principle.... Councilor too.. He hated me after reporting the situation... But sometime later he decided to ignore me.. And I did the same...

So Camila... just report it, I'm sure the uni will try its best to 'elp you... Plus he's the one who started acting weird at you right? So its not your problem to me...Its HIS... cuz I dun think a guy like dat has the balls to commit suicide. Grab some friends too... they'll giv u support for sure...

The impression I get from this guy is that he must've had life pretty hard and wants someone to be with him for his struggle, or he was just acting nice just so he could get to you. The "feelings" he probably had probably grew into an obsession throughout the course of your friendship. This kind of obsessive behavior, as many people have already mentioned, isn't quite normal and should be put to a stop. At this point he's trying to manipulate you, and as this goes on he might try to hint at suicide more and more to get you to crack.

I'm not sure whether I should pity him for what he's been through or resent him for amounting to the most cowardly way of facing life. Personally I believe he should just suck it up and go on; he'll meet a lot of girls in that interest him in the future.

But because you want to take a course of action: try to get to know him first. I know that sounds ridiculous as you guys have been friends for a while, but try to figure what made him like this (as in his past, not the current situation). Try to see his intentions. When you realize what's in his heart, then take the best course of action you feel will help.

Also, I personally believe you, and only you, are the only one who can help him. With a person in this case, it's bad if others start to interfere. You should let his parents know about it though, but just don't let them get in the way. You are his friend, and his love, I guess, and you the only variable that can change the equation.

The thing about that is that class started for a while. So I don't think you can at this time.

If her uni is anything like mine, then you only pay for a class after the 5th week, after that period you can still drop the class but your stuck with the bill, the only time you can't drop a class is two weeks before the final exam, and even then there is nothing stopping you from skipping the exam other than getting an F.
Dropping the class may be a massive inconvenience, but its also probably the best way of avoiding this dude.

They've known each other for a bit more than 3 months. He's been nice and shy and first. But once at a point, he start showing very negative obsession to Camila.

It's really hard to know what caused the guy to become mentally unstable with a very strong obsession. There are some of us who encountered this kind of action before. The solutions that they all came to was either report it, completely ignore the person, or just say that you're done. Showing any sense of communication with this guy now will cause some more obsession of the guy and might think that he's been given another chance. So a lot of us say that just keep the relation between her and him at a "friend" status. Nothing more. So communication is brought down to a very strict minimal.

You should let his parents know about it though, but just don't let them get in the way. You are his friend, and his love, I guess, and you the only variable that can change the equation.

Now again, Camila has said before that she is too afraid to even come close to him now because of the death stare that he would give to her in class. This pretty much brings up a strong barrier from even getting close to him. So the only choice she has is to tell the principal/dean of the school.


If I sounded too harsh or left-directed, I'm sorry. I'm a realist, so everything I say that is involved in a serious situation is a in the truth or opportunity.

Well WIP I didn't want to think like that, everyone tells me to ignore him and others tell me to try to help him with his problem. He did told me about his past in one of his PMs to me saying that he had a hard childhood that nobody loved him and that he was alone and stuffs like that. But I compare that to MY childhood and his was a pink flower field compared to mine, and I'm not a socially rejected psycho obsessed person, which it leads me to confirm that he does have a mental issue, in which I don't want to be a part of.

And I don't see it as I was the one who started the problem, maybe it was just the situation that pulled the trigger and I just had bad luck to be there when that happened.

And I don't want to change classroom because I DON'T want to, I have a lot of friends here and I'll not lose everything because of something stupid as this, it doesn't worth it.

I guess that from now on I'll just ignore it, between the 2 months that we were "away" I tried to make him understand, I used everything I know I talked to him in the most kind way I say things but it didn't work, I tried everything already, you guys have helped me to see my situation from another point of view, and I think I feel more... convinced of ignoring him, I guess I was feeling a little bit guilty for some reason and it was the reason of why I felt so uncomfortable.

The point of getting the uni on your side isn't to help him but to give you support and help while getting through this. The uni counseling will give you a place to vent and feelings you have while also getting sound advice on how to deal with someone that you might not be able to avoid. It also means that if the situation gets worse the uni will already fully understand the situation and will most likely have your back.

Pretty much this.

Actually he stops by every other week, so he hasn't really "come back."

from my point i think you're making the right decision,
stay strong on your decision, and don't be scared, show to him that he can't get anything he want if he's acting like that.
i hope your problem will be cleared soon! keep smiling!

It's cool. Makes sense to me, nothing wrong with that.

Last thing Camila. Keep in mind that you're ignoring him to help him, am I right? So please don't think so negatively. Don't see this as just a burden. And I guess look forward to the day he'll walk up to you to apologize and wanting to start fresh.

I'm ignoring him because I realized that he's the kind of people that I don't like to hang out with. Especially after what he did.

I just realized that this reminded me of a pretty serious drama that happened back at the old Silly Filly Studios. Some guy faked a suicide and everyone in the studio freaked out like crazy. After several weeks, they found out he was a fake and had mental issues. So they all left the studio and created what is now Silly Filly Studios. Camila, keep it that way. I don't want this to go like what happened at SFS.

Good to see you've made your decision Camila. I hope it's the right one. Also Yun, is that a true story? Because I just can't see anyone naming anything "Silly Filly Studios" lol.

EDIT: Nevermind. It's an MLP channel. Totally makes sense now.

Everyone is here for you Cami. And while I absolutely hate having to tell you this. I'm pretty sure your "friend" has "Obsessive love disorder"

This disorder has its foundation in the insatiable fixation of wanting to possess the target of their obsession. The emotions that are experienced when in love, like mutual respect, trust and security, are overtaken by feelings of jealousy, insecurity and resentment. This then gives way to a painful and all-consuming obsession and preoccupation with an actual or wished-for lover. This insatiable longing either to possess or be possessed by the target of their obsession, and rejection by physical or emotional unavailability of their target can result in the perpetual fixation and compulsion to obtain the person they desire. The unnerving aspect is that a person might not even be in a relationship with the object of their desire or have (recently) separated from them, they might simply have had a stray conversation with them at some point and gotten interested in them, which has then slowly turned into an obsession. This obsession can start out with activities like keeping tabs on the person and then transcend into something far worse like stalking them, emotionally blackmailing them and in the most extreme scenarios, taking to violence towards the person or oneself.

SOURCE

But in all honesty. That's not the bad part... If he indeed does have a disorder. Then it can't be helped. It's something out of his control. I realize it may be scary for you to do this but really, your only option is to call the local authorities and report him for attempted suicide. There's no other way around this...

I'm so sorry Cami.

BUT! Lets just say that everything I said was bullshit and that wasn't the case.

I'd say, don't avoid him. And just let him know that your avoiding him because his personality isn't attractive anymore. He comes off as an obsessive person and then distance yourself. If something spirals out of control and he does take his own life. Don't feel at fault Camila.
