I've recently quit my PhD after having completed 2 years of the program. The main reason for quitting was the ridiculous behavior of my supervisor- he had zero experience in my area, constantly put me down & discouraged me, and the University lacked any facilities I needed for my research.
I want to ask if it's normal behavior for a supervisor to be so "obsessed" with one of his ex students that he goes through lengths of unfollowing me and even BLOCKING me on social media, months after I left? To me this seems really childish and mentally unstable behavior, which doesn't even happen if you've ended a romantic relationship! It makes me feel a bit creeped out since it obviously means he is thinking about me even months after!
Has anyone had any similar experiences/ thoughts on this behavior? Is it normal?! He has of course not erased my publications!
