Answer: Because they are creepy, trying to murder (sed person) a fanboy of the person they're stalking, or they have some sort of mental problem that makes them want to start stalking someone they know such as a family member, friend, past enemy, current enemy, or crush.

Explanation: This can be caused by all sorts of trauma, past experiences that greatly enhanced their lust for that person, and so on. They could just be a psychopath which ties into the point of my mental issue about the person stalking the victim and they are most likely trying to kill them.

Answer: There are many reasons why people might stalk other people. In some cases, a stalker may be motivated by a desire to control or dominate the person they are stalking. In other cases, a stalker may be motivated by a fixation on the person they are stalking, or by a belief that the person is somehow responsible for their problems. Additionally, some stalkers may have underlying mental health issues that contribute to their behavior. In general, however, stalking is a way for the stalker to exert power and control over their victim.
