    When living alone, I had a landline with two handsets, where you could call one handset from the other. One night I was watching telly and my phone was ringing so looked and saw the other phone was calling. I answered and nothing happened. Called again, and again and again, so I called a friend to come right over while I sat frozen on my sofa. My friend turned up, we searched the house top to bottom, no sign of the other phone or someone in my house.
    I checked inside the sofa where I'd been sitting as the calls came in and found the other handset. I'd been arse dialing myself 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ my friend was not impressed

      I think the "psycho" title is a little unjust. Her son most likely had a delusional disorder called erotomania, characterised by an undoubted belief that they are in a relationship with somebody when they aren't. Keep in mind it is a delusional disorder and the relationship he had with her, although fictitious, was just as real to him as our own actual relationships are to us. I'm not saying this excuses any of his actions, and I hope he apologised after he got help (if he got help). I just think in situations like these we should use a little more empathy instead of just writing them off as psychopaths and creeps.

      I guarantee she didn’t set foot inside a court room as there would be no need for her to do so unless she wanted to speak to prosecutors and the judge directly requesting/explaining something specific that would alter outcomes. And that’s before factoring in her detailing her anxiety disorder. In my case, which was FAR worse (they caved my skull in and stole my car) they told me directly that they would understand if I didn’t want to sit in the courtroom after I was out of surgery.

      I wonder how are ancestors on the African savanna endured existence with agoraphobia. Living in groups doing everything from eating to sleeping from sexy times to shting next to each other while suffering the crippling effects of agoraphobia. Doesn't seem possible. Never having alone time. How does that work?

    That last story was sad in so many ways. When the killer said "now I feel safe I'll have a better home than I've had in years" after his sentencing it gives you a glimpse into his mind. If he hadn't been so isolated and almost definitely depressed I wonder if he would have been capable of murdering his friend? Either way being homeless is not for the faint of heart and I hope one day all people will have a plot of land to call their own...

      ​@@xXTwigManXxWow! Way to go, buddy. Way to ignore the fact that Kim has a form of intense anxiety that makes it difficult for her to interact with people, let alone society as a whole. That's like saying that someone with Autism or Down Syndrome or any other mental disorder should just ignore their illness and just get on with their lives. While it is possible for them to have their own lives, their disorders will make it more difficult than it really is. You don't just move on just like that, just like how you can't ignore a migraine/headache. Hell, I'm someone who is in the spectrum of Asberger's Syndrome, and while I can say that I have indeed made a life of myself, it came after several years of going through life with support from my father after moving out of my mom's house, because she was never gonna help me succeed the same way my dad did, because all she wants is to keep me under her wing. And guess what, I still get moments of panic/stress when things get rough for me. And I'm not very confrontational, if I can avoid confrontation, I'll do so like the Black Plague. I *can* speak up, but only in situations where push comes to shove, because otherwise I don't want to make things more difficult than they already might be. So, are you saying that Kim should just ignore her anxiety and move on with her life like nothing happened? Because let me tell you something: THAT AIN'T HAPPENING! Or at least, not that easily. Especially after what she went through with that sicko who was Olivia's son. Your statement just sounds like something you'd say because you don't understand nor can't relate to the situation at hand. Almost tasteless even. And that just rubs me the wrong way.

Ten minute’s after they left, this drunk ass little short dude comes out of a closet in the bedroom she heard the noises. He ran out and we never saw him again.

    True story!
    When I moved to CA 2yrs ago, I discovered Mr. Ballen videos. I was going through a lot, (a break up) and his videos helped calm me so I would watch his videos before falling asleep. After 2yrs of being miserable in CA, I decided to move back to Az where my family lived. While I was looking for a new apartment in Az, I stayed temporarily at my sister and her husbands house. Night time comes around on that first night, so I get settled in bed about to start a Mr Ballen video when I suddenly hear his intro music very loudly upstairs. Turns out they also watch his videos before bed too. I went up there, we ate some popcorn and had a Mr Ballen marathon until 4am (just like younger kids would do at a sleep over) lol
    I can guarantee you that someone in your life does the same thing and you don't even know it lol

      This is because of two people in my life having a similar experience, and me being powerless to prevent it
      Let’s just say that some men need to control their urges better, my younger sister still experiences trauma, even saying that at times, her hands look like his, and I’ve had to pick her up from school multiple times because it was too much to even be in the same building as that little fucker, and my friend, she stayed quiet for a while, until she heard my sister’s story and gave me info for a therapist and explaining it to me
      Since then, I’d become a lot more protective of every female in my life, because I don’t wanna see them get hurt, friends, family, I have three sisters, and I refuse to let any of them get hurt ever again

    I can’t even put into words how many nightmares I had of these situations. It just leave a bitter aftertaste every time which is why this video gives me flashbacks.
    In every dream the front door of my apartment would always be open and I would never be able to close it or the intruders would enter through the windows or they would magically appear in my apartment and I wouldn’t be able to run away because no exit opens up for me.

    Kim's story is terrifying. This is why I have a dog and I let him bark at strangers passing by and don't scold him for barking at noises. Don't wanna undo that instinct. Never will a stranger come by my house without my knowledge.

    The story about the dude laying next to kim without her knowing is tragic on so many levels especially considering that you have a girl who is very scared or nervous of talking to people and being in society to the point that she won't go to the doctor and as she's starting to get a little comfortable being around Olivia a freaking psycho ruins (quite possibly permanently) the chance of her recovering from her social anxiety and making it way worse than it originally was and ending her only relationship with anyone outside her family tragic absolutely tragic
