Well i think Spying can be thought of in 2 categories. 1 category is the actual Espionage that goes on in the world, Corporate Spies and James Bond kind of spies. The 2nd category are the people who just observe the objects of their affection, from usually afar i guess. But they wouldnt go and try to interact with them...either cuz they are too insecure or...cuz they just like to watch, which is pretty creepy.
However, stalkers are much worse, cuz they not only follow you, they observe and really register all your daily routines and as many facts about your life and who you are as they can...and the rest they fill in with their own imagination. I guess there is such a thing as mild stalking, its still creepy, but yeah its not as dangerous or scary as the more stronger version of stalking, where the stalker might start to obsess and fantasize about you and then at some point get into their heads that you want them in your life, and then try to force their way into it...and unfortunately, sometimes that can end very violently, resulting in people actually even losing their lives sometimes...which is just so horrible.

Spying is 1. Keeping a journal of all your activities, your arrival, your departure, your pee timing, your eating timings, etc. 2. Getting stressed if you dont arrive on time. 3. Spring from ones chair when your voice is heard. 4. Getting paranoid that they may lose you. 5. Searching the telephone directory for your name 6. Searching Facebook for your contacts 7. Searching government websites for details on your health card number, passport number, etc Whereas Stalking is entering your washroom/restroom/bathroom/bedroom. Its one step more of intrusion of your privacy. Or probably advanced spying. Stalking is abnormal whereas spying/nosiness is normal. A stalker has some mental health issue, because he is so obsessed like a psycho. Spying is temporary whereas stalking is for life.

spying is looking without the person youre looking at know. Stalking is to delay the person

Stalking would imply hassasing,I don think you can really spy when the information is so readily available

Stalking is crazy. Spying is just a peek.

I don't think there's much of a difference between those two particular words.

It depends on your motives! If they're of a sexual nature, it's considered stalking. :D Now stop following me! j/k lol
