Reading through people's old entries when I've recently added them makes me feel like a stalker.

I do it anyway.

I even reply, if I feel so moved. Perhaps because I feel a need to demonstrate my stalker tendancies?

Hi. I'm an LJ stalker. Apparently I am also an addictive substance.

The problem, of course, is that I have this insatiable need to dive into the brains of people I think are neat. And people's past posts are a form of doing that. And I'm horribly nosy.

I know what you mean about feeling like a stalker. I'll generally look back a few days or a week into someone's journal before adding them to my friends list, and then I'll wait until I've established some kind of communication with them before I look further.

However, I don't feel stalked if someone is reading my journal. It doesn't bother me a bit, but that's because I know what's there, what's behind cut tags, and how much never gets into posts of any kind. But not everyone journals that way, and some journals are very, very personal.
