Saw a Stranger and Framed an Opinion About Him or Her!!! How does that Happen?

Hi Sid May be your mind/eyes/heart is looking for some of your friends whom are out of touch or you are thinking about someone and end up having some sort of resemblence in a stranger. yes, it has happened a couple of months back and i even told her a Hi, not seen you for a long time and she gave me a confused smile. Then i realized i might have thought the person is known to me but she was unknown. Or i could say we were de-focused . Oh yeah..happy valentine month to u too.

There is something called charisma which automatically helps one vibe with another who could be a total stranger. It may have happened to me as well but cannot recall. When I have been on package holidays there among so many i have picked just one or two with whom I have developed friendship. It just happens.

Sometimes it's just the way someone moves or a facial expression which makes me feel this way, and the more I think on it the more it bugs me!

Well, I'm sure there are a lot of schools of beliefs on this, all dealing with what is essentially supernatural. But it's most likely just a mechanism of our brains. We perceive threats. We flock to comfort. We know what it's like to be safe and to be scared and, well, to just be us. So your brain is constantly associating different influences in different ways to keep us normalized. A smell you catch randomly can bring back a memory you haven't recalled for a decade. Catching a word out of the corner of your eye that you're not even paying attention to can bring on strong sense of deja vu or take you on a trip through random emotions. Seeing a stranger, or smelling them, or speaking to them, etc, can have a huge effect on us. Forming an opinion about someone is natural. It's your brain attempting to gauge the situation. Oftentimes the result is not so politically correct, like with strange or suspicious-looking people on a plane. For a lot of people, their brain is processing information and saying "GET OFF!" For everyone else, they're on Valium. It's how we survived. All the way back to when we were little mammals trying not to get trampled on or eaten by lizards. There is really no other reason for our brains to be wired in such a way unless it served us a survival purpose.

Hello there godson You've got to try to talk to them and see if there's any connection between the two of you. I don't recall that happening to me. But what usually happens is when I see a person and thinks they look like someone I know but then s/he is not actually that person. There are also times like you meet someone for the first time and instantly connect with them... enjoys chatting with them as if they're your long lost friend. Happy month of love or single awareness month LoL Hopes to get chocos from you

Its called transference in psychological parlance.

I experienced the same thing. Sometimes I can tell which person my friends were talking about when I see the person they talk about for the first time. My friends were talking about someone from a group who they said didn't appreciate their effort at helping. He wouldn't listen to their opinions despite them working in just one group. The first time I came to meet their group I was in a room full of strangers and despite not having seen that person they talked about, I could identify him from the crowd that it was him they were talking about. Some months later I would dream about him being the mean person again and it felt like a past life dream. I think maybe my friends and he had a past connection wherein we didn't always agree with our views and opinions.

What you are talking about is your sixth sense in action. This is a sense that has been weakened in many humans, we use to relay on it for protection before we became so dependent on our tools and gagets to protect us. Since this still seems to be strong in your case pay attention to it and use it whenever you can, it gives you an avantage over many of the rest of us.

Its actually observation which you might not have really given any credence to. I mean, we notice things about a person without really realizing at times. Our brain works on it, and records it for being brought up later. You might have noticed him being nasty with somebody and ignored him, or may be he paid some monies to beggar, or was trying to jostle his way...after initial observation, the matter becomes insignificant because we dont really have to deal with the person...that is how we think. But when the same person sits before us, the impression we had about him comes up before us. At times it is the facial similarity with another person we've known. Imagine a school teacher, or even classmate in school ...his or her parents...whom does he remind you of...features are similar many times. Remember, there was a girl who looked quite like Aishwarya Rai and even acted in a movie with Salman Khan!!!

It is human nature to have an opinion on someone when we see or meet them for the first time. Sometimes it may be their appearance or the way they move. It can even be the tone in their voice. We may not think that we are making an opinion of someone. but we often do.

If you werent married, i'd say you're soulmates . I hope your wife doesnt read this... i dont want to be reborn in someone else's body yet

Hi Bro He he.. Even I have framed such opinions many times for many people. But for most of them I have to make correction later on. Well, it is not done to frame such opinion about anyone. I mean people used to say that first impression is the last one, but I don't think it is same for every person. Till we don't know about any person deeply we can't judge about him/her perfectly. That's what I think. About rebirth and other things, I really don't believe in them, but I love to read and watch things related to them.

yeah, I do experience such things, too. It's weird. Sometimes people look so familiar that I consider them immediately as congenial. I don't know why that is but usually such peole indeed turn out to be nice. I think it could have to do with how a person looks like. If he or she fits a certain pattern our brain ''identifies'' as ''okay'' then we'll like the person. And somehow we will express it with our facial expression and so the person recognizes that and may return that type of positive thinking. Lots of things going on subconsciously there I guess.

Hello thesids..I have been in this kind of situation many times, sometimes I can recall that it happened already in my dream but sometimes I can't remember where, how and when but the feeling is very familiar.

For me, dearheart, it seems a common occurence, and I am not sure what to call it; survival instinct or intuition..but either one seems to serve me well, in this walk thru life! After all my other senses are alerted, visual, oral and physical, and similar traits of a person, past or present are recognized, my last sense kicks in and feelings of anticipation or "flight" are aroused! I fear this is a sense that MAY or MAY NOT have served me well in the past, as because of some of the recognizable traits, I form an opinion...about said subject. Why lone persons are singled out, beyond me...but it's like two spirits colliding...or is it dejavu?? The appearance, the mannersims, the whole demeanor igniting a memory that I just can't categorize..good or bad...and I am put on alert! Why is it happening to you, so many times, dear Bro...I dare to say, you are daily becoming more in touch with your inner self, being sensitive to your instincts! AND that may not be true at all, for you...but I do know, it is for me, and seldom have they let me down. I am sensing troubled waters...PLEASE, please know, I am here for YOU!

yes, it happened a lot of times but i cannot find an answer. i am not a believer of reincarnation but it always fascinates me why i encounter such situations where i see a person who looks very familiar as if i had met them somewhere already. belated happy V!

There would be times that I would have a bad feeling to a person I have just met. I dont know but I just felt he/she will not be a nice person or is a potential harm to me. there would be times also that even I have no enough idea about the past or history of a person there will just an idea come to my mind and yes it well then eventually happen. I asked my father if this is what they call third eye but since he is a Pastor he said its only called instinct.

In high school a teacher asked my class how long it took the kids to size up a new teacher. They reckoned it took several seconds. I've also heard that employment interviews are very quick to make decisions about job applicants. Speed dating is supposed to be a good way to find partners but I've never tried it. I think there are at least three things going on. One is simple prejudice, you form opinions based on somebody's race, clothing, hairstyle etc. This probably tends to rather unfair but then again, a woman in hijab probably won't be a Zionist. Then there's subconscious experience. You've met somebody, perhaps multiple people, who were a bit like that before so you expect this one to act in similar ways. Not necessarily accurate and it's really hard to pin down this sort of thing. I also think there's some paranormal thing. People tend not to like me as soon as I meet them but I'm a fairly nice person, at least I don't usually do bad things to people without some fairly strong provocation. I can normally tell if I will get on particularly well or badly with somebody. I knew my wife was an interesting person as soon as I met her and quickly realized that she'd make me a good wife (and she has). Somebody once walked into a crowded room and I knew they were a particular person I'd spoken to on the phone and never seen, I was right about this. I think there are genes which make you get on better with other people who have them and not so well with others. Although she's a very nice woman, my wife had never had a boyfriend before me. Organisms that live in the same environment and don't interbreed should be classified as different species so that raises questions about whether we're really human. Members of minority races usually marry members of their own race, suggesting that there's some barrier to interbreeding between races but it isn't clear if it's genetic or related to culture, religion or prejudice. Clearly this isn't 100% effective but it would make sense if the genes that determine who you like have different proportions in different races (this is true of almost all genes).

Hi, I don't have such experience. Sometimes I watch some stranger in my dreams who are not connected to my life. But in reality I haven't feel that I am attached with some stranger. I saw one program Crime patrol. It is based on real stories crime. One child recognizes every person in his past life. He knows where the diary in past life is kept. Who are his parents, friends and everything. He was murdered in his past life and he help to find his murderers. Really this is incredible.

Myabe you were acquaintance in the past or a friend. yes, maybe there was past life. we can never know life is as mysterious as love. LOL
