Although annoying behaviour from a stranger is usually unpleasant, and sometimes even frightening when it comes from an ex, the experience can feel quite different when the frequency of messages increases, new accounts are created after blocking, threats become more specific, or the harasser appears to be tracking your location or following your movements.
