have you ever wondered if you are Truman?

lol I've had many strange coincidences which has made me think I'm in some kind of Trueman show setup.
My most recent occurred 8 times out of 10 consecutive days. On my way to work which can vary as much as 15 minutes depending on what time i would leave i would be driving down this road slowing down in heavy traffic and every time without fail this car driven by some really attractive woman would come to the end of a side road and be waiting to pull out exactly as I was just approaching it. Like right on cue kind of thing. Really freaked me out when it happened 5 days in a row at different times i would be approaching thinking "surely not" and she would appear every time. I've had loads of things like that happen
 
No don't be silly..

Have you ever tried Gillette Pro Shield? it has Lubrication BEFORE and after the blades for incredible protection, comfort, and closeness!

It's these kind of things which happen to me EVERY day

and yes, traffic lights at red last night driving home from work. It's like they know I'm coming!
 
Several of us at work were talking about this the other day and decided it must be the case. Not due to people staring at us like the OP but because it is the only explanation we can think of for some of the stupidity we have inflicted upon us at work is that we are secretly in some sort of show and the director wants some sort of reaction.
 
Ooh my thread and the main reason for my mental health problems.
My questioning started back when I was a teenager so way before Truman and The Matrix.
I have no idea why I'm here and why I am in this body living the experiences inside this body.
I've never understood why I can't be somebody else or my 'soul', for the want of a better word, be somewhere else but it just remains here.
When I die my 'soul' will end up in a room where I'm told that I got 81% for my life, I made many friends, helped lots of people, upset a couple on OCUK but basically led a good life and they will erase my soul and then throw it in another body :)

Short version
I have no idea why I'm here and what it's all about.

Do I have a book for you :)
 
I never called it the "Truman syndrome," my own term was "goldfish bowl syndrome," but in the ~11 years we have lived here I've never been able to sit in the back garden for more than ~10mins. The garden is overlooked by our mini-block of two up, two down flats and it does not take long for me to feel like the goldfish being watched by the other flat residents.

I'm sure they have much better things to do than watch what I'm doing in the garden, but that feeling of being watched gets to me very quickly!

My own therapy to try and combat this began this summer, sitting in the garden when I come back off most rides, looking over my Strava data. It's helped, I've probably had more instances of "relaxing" in the garden this year than all the others put together, but after a while that uncomfortable feeling of being the goldfish returns...
 
I have the belief that as soon as I quit my current job then the music Opening from Mishima will start to play as if i’ve managed to escape.
