Haanism

This morning, I woke up with the words Déjà vu in my mind.

I briefly remember what it means but am not too sure if my understanding is right. So, I google it... it's a French term, meaning:

The experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the near past).

The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness," "strangeness," or "weirdness," The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.

Hmm.. seems like only 80% of what the words mean is applicable to me now, as I'm VERY SURE that something has EXACTLY happened before. It's neither a sense nor a dream.


Not sure if you have an encounter like this:

You had a good friend, A, in the past but no longer in touch now ("good" means its presense does make a difference to your life). One day, you meet another person, B, who might not look the same, but what B says are exactly the same as what A used to say.

Afterwards, you further find out that there are so many similarities between A and B. Then, you feel like "are they the same?", "why am I meeting a similar person again?" etc.

I think the above has basically revealed what am I experiencing now... to be exact, it should be last night.


Was chatting (via messenger) with a person whom I always see but never talk face-to-face. He's so similar to someone I do not really wish to recall.

Before last night, I just knew about his horoscope, which I'm a bit scared of (due to the combination of his gender and horoscope, as well as my personal past experience). After some other chats, some of the words he said were exactly the same as the other person told me before.

I further asked, what's your DOB (date of birth)? I really could not believe that they share the same date (except the year). I felt a bit scary, and hesitant if I should continue the chats... but finally I did.

This is my first time feeling so. Felt kinda weird and unsure how should I face this new friend.


If you let me choose which is scary:

1) they look the same but different personalities and characteristics
2) they do not look the same but similar personalities and characteristics

Definitely my answer is "2".

However, I hope I will face this with open heart, although I'm someone that cannot stand myself repeat an error.

Thinking from another perspective, this is a chance for me to prove that, I should not be scared of the people of this gender belonging to this horoscope, and they are worth to befriend.

I really wish I can do it.
