I constantly run into people who look like older versions of me. Well over 60 (I'm currently 24). They never talk to me, they just smile and nod. I'm not hallucinating this. Friends see them as well and agree on the unsettling familiarity. Some "old mes" look pretty healthy, but I used to see one with terrible burns (he disappeared 2 years ago). I see most of them in my hometown but also in the town I work and on travels. They are always alone when I meet them. What does this mean?
I've experienced similar cases like yours. I've never seen myself but I've seen "future-versions" of several friends. Though they never seem to acknowledge me so I don't think they can see me.
Have you noticed anything that triggers them, or have you been able to force a seeing? I've noticed mine always seem to appear when I'm in a hurry
If you are able to interact with them, have you tried speaking to them or approach them somehow?

They seem to be there mostly when I travel. I see them on trains and busses mostly. I haven't talked to them, because I'm afraid they are really me.

In both of our cases they seem to be the result of being on the go. Maybe it has something to do with the brain visualizing the future of our destination and somehow skipping years.
I wonder why I've never seen myself and can't help but think I might die soon.
I've never really explored this ability, if it is one. But I've thought of a way to test it. By taking an apple and visualizing it rotten I'll see if I can manifest it to prematurely rot.
If I may ask, how long have you been seeing them.
>don't see older versions of self wandering about
>realize that means you're near the end
Holy shit, /x/ is comedy gold mine.

You had a great, great grandfather who got around a lot.

Sounds like time travel, future versions of yourself. Reminds me of a book, The Man Who Folded Himself.

I've seen them since I'm 20.
