It isn’t too incomprehensible to naked logic why and how the comfort zone called online world can become hell on earth. After all, the online world has become our virtual parallel universe. One of the most glaring possibilities in the virtual horizon is that your ex becomes your e-stalker, especially after an ugly break up. Your ex-now-stalker can always tail you online. If you don’t wish to stop your habit of informing the world over Facebook and Twitter about your every move, here are surefire ways by which you can edit out your ex-now-stalker from availing your important information.

Your ex might be snooping on you online. You can’t discount the possibility. After you’ve dumped him or her, you can expect that finding a clue about what happened is the next order of things. So, be afraid, be very afraid, and change all your passwords. Even if you don’t think your ex might be tech-savvy, he or she just might have a friend who is.

Since you don’t want to have anything to do with your ex anymore, go ahead and unfriend him or her off your various friends lists online. That’s adding salt to injury, but what the heck. ‘Some online space is necessary to move on.’

From now on, it would do you a world of good if you make your information private, especially if a nagging feeling overcomes you that your ex might be following your every move and updating on your every activity. Worse, your ex might be pulling some act of revenge on you by e-harassing your friends online. In which case, you shouldn’t have hooked up with him in the first place because sociopathic tendencies do manifest from way back early childhood, and there’s no way you could have missed noticing those.

So, click on “Protect my tweets,” unfriend your ex on Facebook, and tweak “Privacy & Permissions” in your Flickr account to make sure that he or she cannot download, share, print, and blog your photos. Beyond all these? Read up a whole lot more on stalker behavior.
