I'm sorry if this proves to be quite controversial to some, I really do. However, I'm not asking that you share who you secretly stalk at all: but more so if I'm not alone in this world when I say the words:
" I love this community and I have to say there are quite the few people I love just to see and post here amongst us. Sometimes I secretly wish I could get to know them but have just about as much confidence as what a box of chocolate contains gummy bears, so just secretly watch them instead like the crazy fluff I am."
To be honest however, I admire the entire community: but it'd be nice to know if there are some people out there who also have their preferred fellow floofs to follow.
I'm just a perfectionist and personally cry if my best friend tells me I have sauce on my jumper. Please ignore me. But I don't mean to cause upset if I do/have.
-
Same on the perfectionism there...I can't stand it sometimes, drives myself nuts. Lol.
But as for your question, I do 'stalk' some floofs, but I mean no harm. It does take a lot of courage before I can even say 'Hey' in a personal message or even in an in-game whisper. I'm just as antisocial/loner what have you, until I feel comfortable. My one fear though is that once I tell them how I admire the things they do, they might see it as weird though. ^^;
-
Don't worry, I'm totally a perfectionist myself. I know how it is, haha.
Anyway, I don't think this is controversial at all! I'm sure we all have or had people we like to follow. I myself tend to lurk or "stalk" some members. I just like to check up on them, because like you said, I'd love to get to know them and I like to see what they are interested in. So yeah, you're not alone with this. In fact, I thought I was one of the only people who did this. Lol.
-
I usually just "stalk" my friends when I'm bored and have nothing to do and/or just want to know where they are at. I mean nothing by it at all. I just like to keep in touch with everyone. ^^
-
I don't per say, obsessively stalk, but I do some curious clicking every now and then and check up on what people have been posting and whatnot. Of course, no harm intended, I just like to know what's going on and what everyone's up too. xD
-
I really just go online to see if there are any friends online and just loom there until one of them notices me. Not really sure if it's stalkin' though.

I am known as the FeralHeart Staff Stalker for a reason. c;
Razmirz is the final member to be Stalked and fall to my wrath.
-
What do you mean "Secretly"? Everyone knows I stalk... xD
-
Well, I guess what I do would be considered stalking, I have an urge of some sorts to know everything and gather as much information in an environment as possible, in that way I could identify and adapt to any change that is present.
In the forums, I have honestly clicked on the profiles of a handful of people, I also look at activities on the 'Users Online' Feature quite often. It may be invasive but I'm not going to misuse any info, and it's no secret anyways.
I also gather information irl, don't get me wrong, I don't follow people around like a creep or avoid getting caught eavesdropping, I do it on a semi-conscious level. Whatever I hear and even emotions that are emitted would get absorbed whether I like it or not, which could either be beneficial or distressing.
I don't embrace my surveilling habits unless I have a clear motivation that is justified, I'm more a monitor than a stalker in my opinion. But gee, I remind myself of Nineteen Eighty-Four sometimes :u
-
Sometimes I do, but not in a creepy way XD. Like I just look at topics that are being updated daily, like when I see someone post on a thread I want to see what they posted because that person could have nice ideas or responses. Then sometimes I stalk specific members that I like lol
-
*Puts down binoculars* Hmm?
Admittedly, yes. Not to a creepy level or anything, but there just are a few members that I admire and like to see what they've posted once in awhile. I also like seeing what some of my friends have done recently sometimes as well.
But no worries! Nothing's wrong with having some people you admire or like on the forum, and I'm sure everyone has a few floofs they like more than others! As long as friendly 'stalking' doesn't get to a creepy or insane level, checking up on people once in a while is totally ok! c:
-
Shoosh, public posts and public profiles are there for a reason; To be read! And if there are links in them to DA pages or Tumblr pages, it's fun to read into what some people like or do or have said around the forum to other folks. It's just forum navigation and seeing what you've got to say to the world. ^^ It's a fun way of getting to know someone in a more passive way than immediate conversation (although conversation is great, too).

My advise is just do it, "Gday" is a struggle but what's the worst that could happen?
-
Pfff No- Yes I do. I do it to my close friends- and I will hide in the ceilings or just f3 XD
