Input question

This guy laughed at me, ignores it then this girl watched me from afar started copying me but the guy since I didn’t submit he wanted to scare me with his gun. Left that gym but now everytime I post on instagram he laughed at my post and tells ppl there to laugh with him especially the girl who wants to be me but I think he is obsessed with me but also when I post I secretly watch from a fake account and they lift extremely heavy when they see me winning they couldn’t get to me with their words
