I've been experiencing this my whole life, but mainly just ignored it. Ive never known if everything was a coincidence or if i really knew what was going to happen. Lately its been really getting on my nerves, making me feel a little nuts. I.E, I had a very vivid dream about a friend over seas in Afghanistan, i had never dreamt about him before. At one point he hugged me and it actually woke me up, i had an overwhelming feeling he was in the room and i felt "what if he died?" the next day i contacted his mom and she informed me he actually had left for home that morning. Another example, i went to send a text to a friend "nicole" and for some reason made it a point to make sure i didnt send it to "nicholas" (whom i never hear from anymore). Next thing you know i get a text from "nicholas" and i had sent that to "nicole". Coincidence?...OR i will be singing a song and turn on the radio and its on the same spot. I get strong feelings about how a person is, what their motives are. ANd they are 9 out of 10 right on. What is this? its bugging me.
Are You Normal?
Ask your question today!
She went on for close to 4 hours until i finally exploded, told her to shut the fuck up and that she was losing her mind and that i was going to leave her if she didnt stop talking and thinking about these far out things and start focusing on her future in a realistic and down to earth way. She cried for awhile before finally agreeing that it was possible that every "strange" thing that had ever happened to her COULD just be a coincidence and that it didnt neccessarily have some kind of hidden meaning.
In conclusion, just say fuck it and use your time and brainpower finding a way to do what makes you happy while putting a few bucks in your pocket at the same time. You'll have plenty of time when your dead to find out the mysteries of the universe.
A retroactively meaningful dream floats like a buoy in a sea of uninteresting dreams about sexy zombies or your sixth grade English teacher.
Horoscopes are popular for a reason. Oh, how we thirst for the illusion of control!
But to be fair, my sixth grade English teacher was fly as fuck.
Anyway, I wasn't asking for a photo reel, I just don't recognize your username.
That just means it's not as impersonal as some other qualities regarding me.
"I wasn't asking for a photo reel"
Oops! Well I guess that just goes to show you that no matter how smart a Person is flutterhigh, there's always room for misunderstanding.
Still don't recognize/remember your username though. Alternate account?
I've only been here for a little while so I doubt you'd recognize me. Reading some of your older Comments I couldn't help but noting a remarkable intelligence. I'll be honest- when I first read your stuff I thought, "Wow if I knew this guy in real life I think we'd be good friends".
And yes I am reluctant to speak about myself. I thought about saying why but if I do it'll be easier for people track some of my less than obvious Threads.
But I understand. I didn't mean to probe.
But extra-sensory isn't real though, any coincidences you notice are just the same things that happen to everyone except they aren't paying attention too them. You may just have an eye for detail. I used to look at the clock and quite often at 3:20, it freaked me out until i realised i just kept paying attention to it around that time out of habit.
But being BI-POLAR makes you BELIEVE thats true, when the things you notice often aren't how they really are. Thats why it's a "disorder" not a gift.
Im not making fun of you, just don't get too wound up in thinking it's a double sided thing that can help. It will only make it worse and cause problems. Watch or read "wishful drinking" by Carrie Fisher (yep princess leia) she has it pretty bad.
Thats what the problem is, it's so bad you believe it no matter what. Sort of like how a psychotic can't tell whats real and what isn't, but he THINKS he can.
If you are Bi Polar you would be the one who knows least about it, their whole problem is impaired thinking during manic stages.
And yes, i studied Psychology and did very well. Like i said im not being mean, but just because it's something you don't want to hear doesn't make it wrong.
