I Have Followers.

I'm as perplexed as anybody.

I'm not talking about my fellow myLotters who are kind enough to follow me here. Those kind of followers I do want. I'm talking followers, as in I keep seeing the same people, somewhere around me, no matter what neighborhood I'm in around town. It's really odd, too. Now, before anyone says, "You're just being paranoid," like it's a bad thing, please be aware of two points. Those being: 1. Paranoia is a heightened sense of awareness. So, in that sense, I am a bit paranoid. And, 2. Even though I'm paranoid, I still see the same people, over and over. I've found myself being filmed. (Flipped 'em off with a smile.) I've noticed a couple too many people looking away suddenly, as soon as I sense being stared at. And I've directly confronted more than one, after doing more than a single 180, to see if my hunch was correct. It was. I think it might just be these exercises I do each day. I do isometrics, mixed in with yoga and qi-gong. Maybe it's just that...I look good! (Somebody's gotta think so. Might as well be me.) If this is the case, I really wish they'd just come on over, introduce themselves and ask their questions - just not in the middle of my meditations (please and thank you). I really would not mind sharing the basics to help others regain a bit of youth. It feels wonderful. I would even let them pay me. I wish they wouldn't stare, though. Now, if it's something else, I would be nervous. How do you folks think I should handle this?

I think it is all about location. If I was doing Tai-chi chuan in the middle of Times square. I probably would have attracted a crowd not to mention a cop or two. Another possible explanation is you're a doppelganger of a famous or infamous personality.

But it's more than that. They're at the store, on the bus, on the other side of town, etc., I think I'll call them on it.

I'm a little too paranoid for that.

Why not take the time, and go over and introduce yourself, and see what is so important. You never know. You just might make yourself another friend.

That would be a great idea in a normal scenario. But, I already know these people. They're just creepy. I have since asked them about it. They each gave different answers. They're just dopeheads.

You cannot really afford not to be alert and aware of your surrounding these days with what's going on around the world today---too much violence, crimes and terroristic acts! It's a very very mad world indeed!

It is. And, the ubiquitous they are everywhere.
