Been noticing a lot of strange things. Coincidences that are too strange to just be that. Certain phrases appearing everywhere. Me thinking of things and people only to have them pop up in my life seconds to minutes later. It's too strange. I can't tell if this is real anymore. Am I in a simulation? Is the randomization of the simulation failing? Like a computer error? Lack of RAM? How can I escape? I can't live like that, if the world is going to be like that.
You may be having a psychosis. Try speaking with a therapist/psychiatrist
God I feel this. I've felt this like for a year and some nights its very strong like all the people in the place are simulations.
It's not psychosis. It's actually possible if not probable that we are living in the Matrix lol.

I guess if you want to get all philisophical, yes it is possible, however if OP is not sure what is real or not, that is pretty much the definition of a psychosis. Noticing patterns or "signs" around you is something I've experienced and I was later diagnosed with a psychosis. I thought my life was like the Truman Show. That shit is not fun.

>Coincidences that are too strange to just be that
Trust me, there is no such thing.
It's just that, a very improbable coincidence, wait long enough and they happen all the time.

we always remember the hits we never remember the misses. Coincidences feel that way because you dwell on them.

I knew I wasn't alone!

Maybe you're right.

I may try doing this. I've been feeling very stressed out recently.

This. Brains are exceptionally adept at looking for patterns. So adept at looking for them that we often see patterns when they aren't there.
e.g. Pareidolia, where we see faces in nonliving objects, or the concept of "lucky streaks" when it's just random chance.

This.
Shermer's The Believing Brain talks about this and calls it 'patternicity.'
That said, marijuana essentially induces acute psychosis for me.
