Weird

Not normal.

Iam "That's the weird thing about all this... I don't explicitly think that the things I'm watching have some sort of hidden meaning or message for me or anything. It's exclusively people I interact with. So, here's an example: I've been watching that comedy show for years. Never once did I think they were making a direct reference to me save for 1 instance where one of the guys said a woman was "A walking hole to fill." Which was hilarious and a thing that I wrote. But I was like 'Ok. Maybe he read that or maybe he came up with the same idea.' and that's fair enough, right? But that's the only time.

Until after your little 'slip.' Now I see it regularly. I say the Brit is a 'clever guy' for using that quote; the guy interviewing him calls him a 'clever guy' the day after I write it. The same guy parrots my description (verbatim) of my character. Before all that, he parrots (again verbatim) my reasoning for writing in the first place (because, initially, this started as a compilation of information that I thought was interesting or worth spreading). You were sitting right there when he said it. If you watched him do what I think he did and you are aware of it; then it isn't Schizophrenia. You're doing the thing that I believe people are doing. I find it increasingly difficult to write off these occurrences as mere coincidence. Three separate occasion. So, as an experiment, I subscribed to a new channel. I didn't think I was being referenced at all and he's in the same sphere as you (technically). I go and watch a video of the first person I subscribed to. No feeling that I am being referenced. I've outlined all of the reason I might have earned someone's ire. I proved that the people at my last job were reading my writing by correcting the spelling of a word she misspelled repeatedly. She spelled it correctly from that day on. So, yeah, good question. Why some things and not others? Because some people are doing the thing I'm talking about and other people are not. It's weird."
