chismosear/ chismorrear
Some people scour the social media feeds of former paramours, enemies, and professional rivals when they want to feel better about themselves. In some cases, they might also be genuinely curious about how these individuals are doing without having to ask. It qualifies as creepy, because the other person likely has no clue they're being watched online.
Here are some signs that you're dealing with an online stalker and not simply a run-of-the-mill internet creep.
We've all been guilty of internet creeping at some point in life.
