When I was apartment-searching in Ann Arbor, MI (NAME DROP) a few years ago I read many reviews of apartment complexes. I noticed that two comments about two different apartment complexes were bizarrely familiar and familiarly bizarre. In each case, a woman complained that a prowler somehow managed to break into her bedroom, stood near the foot of her bed, then dove through the open window to make his escape when she awoke and discovered him.
He didn't rape them; he didn't say a word to them; he didn't take a picture. He simply stood near the bed, stared at them, then fled. One of the women implied that he was black.
I thought that maybe the women should know that their accounts were strangely similar. I briefly considered sending a private message to them. Then I quickly abandoned the idea as I shoved the remaining contents of a Dorito bag in my face then burped.
But as I scoured the internet one month ago in search of a new apartment in Los Angeles (NAME DROP) I noticed... the same account. A man stood near the foot of a woman's bed then dove out of the window when she spotted him.
Well, it's worthy of future consideration: are some women prone to this identical... narcissistic illusion? Are their brains more prone to have it when they awaken?
I majored in psychology, yet I never encountered something that was quite like this.
