Am I overreacting?
About 3 weeks ago one of my “friends” (only reason I say friends is because I was pressured into it) confessed that he liked me, I did not feel the same and asked for space, which I would think would be reasonable. He recruited a shared friend of ours to tell me that I was being a jerk and ignoring him, which maybe I was but I asked for space. For background this guy is kind of messed up, he‘s threatened to kill me multiple times, he has sent me death threats and has also physically hurt me, one instance ending me up in the hospital. Anyways he kept texting me after I told him not to so I blocked him. But I unblocked him so I could call with my friends in this groupchat I am in. I told him that the only reason I unblocked him was to call with my other friends and that he was not to text me at all, he didn’t listen. Two days ago I had a legit question so I texted the groupchat, this guy starts to talk about how he dreams of killing me and my family, which is a RED FLAG then he proceeded to call me a “delusional bitch“ and that he would find happiness in watching me die. I stoped responding to his messages after that. The next day he messages me saying that he didn’t want me telling anyone what he said and that it wasn’t a big deal, I immediately screenshot all of his messages and sent them to the police asking for help. Somehow he figured out what I did and started to black mail me with an AI made image of me naked. He made me tell the police that he was not the one who sent them and now I am scared. He sends me messages of what he will do to me if I tell the police he did actually send these messages. I am so so scared. I think this is a big deal and should tell the police. He told me I am overreacting and that this is nothing. Am I??
