Oversharing isn’t just limited to aunties on Facebook or those local resident groups where the fella from down the road is giving a rundown of his day that no one asked for.
It’s what makes up a whole load of TikTok content, as people share ‘timestamped commute’ and ‘daily routine’ videos, possibly revealing more than they may think.
Staying safe online is something we usually end up learning from a young age, but that might more often cover talking to strangers or spotting scammers. And one woman has now issued a major warning on crossing the line of oversharing on social media after facing a chilling consequence.
Fiona Daisy Mae has over 160,000 followers on TikTok, primarily sharing fitness content. But while she was at her gym recently, she received a note.

“You always hear about crazy stories, but you never think it will happen to you,” she said in a video. “I’m a go lucky person, and I never think anything bad is gonna happen ever.”
But she faced a harsh truth when ‘something really scary happened’.
Fiona claimed ‘someone’ showed up at her gym after buying a day pass and left her a rose and a note at the front desk.
She admitted that she ‘didn’t really think anything of it’ ayt first, brushing it off as ‘probably just a fan’.
But as she looked at it closer, realised it was ‘a little bit sketchy’ and looked up the person on social media.
“The most recent message that he had sent was ‘I’m outside of the gym’ while I’m there, at night,” she alleged.

They had also apparently posted a clip on their main snapchat story, checking if she got the rose and saying he was waiting for her in the bathroom.
And as she looked further into it, Fiona said she found the person had been ‘showing up to apartments’ in her area and giving them flowers.
“He’s been showing up to the gym hoping that I’m there, waiting in the parking lot,” she added.
“I had blocked his account after screenshotting everything, and he made a new account and added me on it. He said ‘I’m driving around town going crazy’ because I blocked him.”
@fionamaefit i really debated not telling anyone this because i’m still scared. but at the same time there are so many people on social media posting at their gym/areas around them. always be cautious of everything. you never know who’s watching you or viewing your stuff. it’s genuinely a scary world we live in and i’ve spent so much time being nieve about it until this happened.

So now she says she ‘Iiterally [has] not left my house at all’.
Fiona said she told the police, but really doesn’t ‘know what’s going to happen’.
Shaken up by this encounter, she’s warning other people who post on social media to ‘always be smart about your surroundings, what you’re posting, what you’re doing 24/7’.
