To know if someone is stalking your Instagram stories, check the viewer list of your story; it shows who has watched it. Look for repeated views by the same person, especially if they aren't someone you regularly interact with. Instagram tails off viewer order to prioritize recent views, so frequent viewers will appear consistently near the top.
