Last night I went out for the 1st time in like a YEAR and HAPPENED to run into 3 different girls I met on other nights out (not a small town or whatever). Then on the transit back there were 2 other strangers that have rode it with me before

Made me think everyone’s on their phones 24/7 and doesn’t realize you’re passing by the same “strangers” everyday. Imagine if we all cared to know eachother like family

Even when ive visited OTHER cities Ive run into the same person multiple times. So weird

Or maybe I’m just the main character

When I commuted with metro I saw the same faces occasionally, one old man I always gave a nod of respect to

Now that I drive to work though I sometimes see the same cars on the highway, there’s a yellow Beetle on my drive back

remember seein this reddit thread like "ppl visiting the us for the first time what surprised u" and everyone was like "the ppl are so friendly" and so recently i just been way more outgoing around strangers. striking up convos at every possible opportunity especially at my local spots where i been going for ages but havent been *out*going yfm? its mad nice. making new friends, getting numbers and compliments, its dope i recommend everyone try it

actually i do be knowing

it’s the matrix
a lotta s*** can come out of breaking barriers definitely. ive been homeless in nyc and offered places to stay etc. just from socializing. can get a lotta things you need from social permutation. I might try to consolidate this topic in a book

You’re welcome for seeing my face everyday, random people

Fr

I’m very aware of s*** like this

I pay extra close attention to people and will sometimes snap photos (volume at max) to ensure that I document them. Sometimes they get extremely hostile or flee but it’s important to capture these things.

not true and i‘m not on my phone like that

fr ppl always say "its who u know not what u know" but only rly in terms of jobs but its rly that way in basically every aspect of life

yea this is some op brain on autopilot realization

I do this also! Put their faces through PimEyes and make sure they are not a dangerous person. Can never be to sure nowadays

Most of that is just your routine and you probably exiting autopilot for once lmao

Classic

op a dumb ass nigga

Passed by these two people in a park close to where I worked at the time. A guy and an older woman, probably his mom. On my way home, I stopped at this spot with food trucks about 30 minutes away from my job. Saw them there again, weirded me tf out. Was definitely them because I noticed one of the guy's tattoos when I passed them in the park

Are you an Uber driver?

I always see a certain neighbor’s car from my apartment complex whenever Im out and about multiple times on the highway. I can recognize the license plate atp

Funny thing is I have no idea who the car belongs to

when I was younger and taking transit all the times, I would always see the same people on my bus/train and it be weird because they would leave their house at the same time as me and come back home at the same time as well (even on a random day off with no schoo/work) it's like we naturally spent the same amount of hours outside before returning home

Not going outside so you don’t pass anybody >>>
