I can't be the only one here who seems to attract certain types of people that would be classed as "crazy" by the general population.
I couldn't be sure if they're crazy or not. Maybe they're just tuning into a different reality.. I'm not entirely sure, but what I do know is they seem to be quite drawn to me.
This week I started uni (wooohoo!), I'd previously been studying an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy, as it was online I fell behind (not a good excuse, I know), so I've finally picked up the books again and I'm going all out for my Bachelor's Degree, but I digress.
The point is, I've had three full days in the beautiful city of Melbourne this week and 2/3 days I've had "loonies" rant and rave at me about lord knows what!
The first, on Tuesday, I can recall him mentioning a lot about tennis and tennis courts, then about "sucking down cigarettes", which I was. There were various other things that I couldn't make sense of, I was also trying my hardest to avoid eye contact.
The second, today, he was staring me dead in the eyes (those really creepy "I'm gonna get you" type eyes) and saying something from behind a glass bus stop, I just looked away and continued walking to the train station.
It's not the first time things like this have happened to me. When I used to live in Melbourne I had a really strange interaction with a lady who was adamant she was going to "turn me into the police today". Naturally, I had no idea what she was on about, but I played along and apologised. Probably out of fear. I think I have been conditioned to believe that people like this are unpredictable - rightfully or not, fear was likely what was going through my head subconsciously on each of these occasions.
Has anyone else had any similar interactions?
Would anyone have any ideas to why these people, out of the hundreds of others walking the streets of Melbourne CBD, choose me?
