There have been many discussions about stalking self and I've yet to encounter one that made any sense. In short, I've never considered it possible to stalk oneself, other than to attempt to answer "Who am I?". Stalking involves learning the habits and traits of prey, then setting traps to capture them. That's not possible in regard self, since most of self's habits and traits are things of which we are unaware. It requires the stalking abilities of a "teacher" who will grab you by the nape of the neck, hold you up to a mirror, and demand "Look at that". One cannot do that to oneself.I have to disagree. On this thread numerous quotes were posted from CC that stalking is primarily for the self. It can be done but it takes one being very objective. But I also disagree with En on stalking others. We most certainly can stalk others. However, I find usually such tactics to be a ruse and can be abusive to the other person. It can also be a way for an individual to avoid their own self, and what they need to work on, by obsessing with what is wrong with another. I don't clearly see what purpose such a thing could serve. Yes, we can aid others. But I find nine out of ten times that stalking others turns into an abuse of others.
