Ever find folk tend to start cars and drive off whenever you go out?

I dropped a letter off at the post box but then a cars engine started behind me and a woman drove off…

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence but that sort of thing has really upset me in the past.

it sounds like a bit of residual paranoia to me, try and just ignore it if you can :slight_smile:

Coincidences used to freak me out. But that’s all they are, just coincidences.

Yep. And other things - especially that streetlights would go on and off as I walked under them. I thought people were signaling each other about my movements. Then I thought I had some sort of magnetic field that would cause them to malfunction. Then I accepted that it was just coincidence.

I still feel the tug of paranoia whenever it happens, though.

Yes! The street lights thing really gets me. The one in front of our old apartment building was always in the fritz, but it seemed like every single time I needed that light it would shut off. Every. Single. Time. Then when I walked away it would turn back on. Made me even more paranoid because no one seemed to think it was that big of an issue. That it was fine and just rarely had issues.

When I was floridly psychotic I would conduct ‘counter surveillance ‘ on folk on the street who I thought where the fbi. One universal truth I figured out is regular people do sometimes have odd behaviour when they are left to their own devices. The amount of folk who would stop in their tracks then cross the street and go the opposite direction.

I know now they were just regular people but it really fuelled my fires.

I go through similar stuff occasionally. Sometimes II’l be at work and I walk into an occupied office to vacuum and someone will leave. Or I’ll be in there for 5 minutes and someone will leave and I think I was making them uncomfortable. Occasionally I might be right but for the most part, life doesn’t revolve around me.

Sometimes I feel like I have to keep an eye on people in stores because I believe they are all trying to shoplift items and it’s my job to not let them do it cuz I’ll be blamed for it…it leads to a lot of useless following people around Wal Mart…and THEY probably wonder who the hell the weirdo is following them. It’s stupid.
