I've never had anything like that happen to me ever. If it wasn't for the internet I never even would have known about these things, other than in movies where I wouldn't take them seriously. I guess that makes me the odd one out in a group full of people who are odd ones out.
The more I've learned about myself and life the less often strange things happen and the less strange once strange things seem. I attribute this to my pragmatic approach to understanding. Rather than making things ever more complicated, even while incorporating new information I try to simplify my prespective as much as possible. I also think that the feeling of something being "strange" results from a lack of understanding of the way something works. Therefore the I believe that the desire to expereince this feeling can be very limiting. If something odd happens I don't take any satifaction in it feeling strange, rather I try to figure out what I don't understand and how to incorporate this new information.
