Mark Zuckerberg stalker Pradeep Manukonda feels bad

Just because a complete stranger tries to track you down at work and your home doesn't mean you're being stalked.

Actually, it does. But that's not how Pradeep Manukonda sees it. The 31-year-old man who recently had a restraining order filed against him by Facebook C.E.O. Mark Zuckerberg is now admitting his confusion over the situation.

Speaking with TMZ, Manukonda says he feels bad about the situation, emphasizing that he's "a peaceful guy."

Apparently all of his efforts to contact Zuckerberg were just to discuss an undisclosed personal problem. "I thought Mark would be able to give me advice," he says.

Legal action and all of this negative PR seem to be enough to make him stop, though. Manukonda has no plans to continue his solicitation. "I understand he's a busy man," he says. "I'll respect his privacy."
