Rose Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I was walking to my GP which is about a mile away. This random guy pulls up outside tesco (supermarket) as I was passing by and says I've seen you around here a couple of times which i think is a lie. Would you like to have a drink? I thought it was a hallucination but my GP said it sounds very real. He said I should be very careful because I'm in a very vulnrable position right now. God knows what he meant by that. I have never had hallucinations to my knowledge anyway but this time I kinda freaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koa Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It does not sound like a hallucination, just kind of random. The guy sounds kind of creepy, it might make me afraid to walk in that area again. Be careful (not because you are vulnerable but because it sounds creepy.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well it is kind of a busy area so I do feel safe there but it did sound a bit creepy saying he seen me there a couple of times. I hope that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxJazzy Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It seems real. I've heard that pick up line before. Hey I've seen you around or I think I went to school with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Doesn't sound like a hallucination to me. Sounds like a creep. I'd be very careful if I were you and walking through that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enlightened_plutonian Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I agree with the others. Unfortunately some people do act like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfranco92 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Once I was waiting for the bus during the middle of the day and an elderly man approached me and I kind of shrugged him off and continued to listen to my ipod. For the next 20 minutes he continued to harass me by getting into my face, pretending to punch me, and by even getting a woman to join his side to continue in the harassment. Many a times I screamed at them to leave me alone, but they did not. The bus stop was full of people and nobody came to my aid. I finally reached my breaking point and ran to BART, to meet my mother at her job so I could get a ride home. I explained the situation to my tdoc at the next appointment and the first thing she said to me was, "Do you think that was a hallucination? Why do you think no one came to your side?" I am a young girl, I am only 19. It seemed strange and even to this day I am not sure if what happened was real or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vapourware Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think you shouldn't question everything or put it down to a hallucination. I know that hallucinations can seem very real but I think it's about probability. Someone coming up and asking for drinks and the like is pretty plausible. It is creepy but it does happen. Same with people harassing others. Also, I think bystanders usually don't intervene out of fear or the belief that it's not their problem. It's the bystander effect.

Rose Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for beliving me. My mum sort of thought it was all in my head. So she went back to check the car which of course was gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g8orgirl Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I often question myself when things like this happen. One time I was in the grocery store and some random guy came up to me and asked me where the milk was. I told him and then I glanced away and when I glanced back he was gone. There was no way he could've disappeared like that so I figured it was a hallucination. It's scary when you have to question your own reality.
