My old coworker came by

My old coworker came by. I saw him on my porch a couple days ago. Or rather the porch below where I live. I was walking back from getting groceries. I only saw him for a second, then I looked away because he scared me, and also I’m endlessly polite and I don’t like to stare and be rude. But I very clearly saw the side of his face, and the rest of him, too. He was seated. He didn’t turn when he should’ve to greet me or anything and I don’t know, maybe he’s mad at me or soemthing. After he retired a lot of stuff happened where I worked and he probably isn’t too pleased with me. This is all ancient history. I haven’t seen him in a decade. He certainly didn’t tell me he was coming out here, and it’s a really long drive (2+ hours). I know this forum is tilted toward people seeing things that aren’t there, but do you really think this was definitely a hallucination? It was so clear. It was him. I went down later and he was gone but that doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t him. And yes I’m on my meds and I haven’t been telling anyone that Jesus Christ was me reborn like I was last year when I got hospitalized and I converse with my therapist and I don’t think I’m psychotic.

I would’ve said something to my coworker when I passed near to him, but I also wasn’t going to invite him up because I don’t like having anybody up here in my place because the last person to come up here was a girl I knew from high school and she planted stuff in my bathroom and I felt really betrayed and scared over it. She used to be my friend. And please don’t tell me this was a hallucination or delusion because it really actually happened, I know it did. It’s possible she thought she was giving me gifts to be flirtatious or something but I took it as planting things. Anyway what I’m asking about is the coworker thing. I know when I tell my therapist tomorrow it’ll just get chalked up to me being schizophrenic but weird things happen, especially to me. The saddest part is that in therapy I chalk things up to me being schizophrenic myself because I’m embarrassed though I really think a lot of it is actually real.

Eh, I’m just upset a bit I think.

I get hallucinations of people mostly at night and they look real but they’ve never interacted with me. They just stare or come at me to scare me. Hope today is a better day for you.
Good things.

I live in the same neighborhood I grew up in.

A couple streets over (while riding my bicycle) I saw what looked like a neighbor I went to elementary school with.

I did not go up and confirm it was him.

I like to stay to myself a lot.

I think seeing someone you think you recognize for a second is pretty normal. Things that happen in split seconds like these are pretty easy to misinterpret, nothing to be ashamed of here. Maybe it wasn’t him and it wasn’t a hallucination either (specially if you don’t get many similar to this one), just a regular trick our mind can play.

Also, I know you didn’t ask but the girl thing seems a lot like she was “forgetting” something at your place so you’d have to contact her to give it back lol
