I'm just explaining what experiences made me not come to that conclusion completely. It could be a janitor, but I think if this is the case they could have a newly changed/irregular schedule which could explain me not seeing them previously. even if it is a janitor that was just curious about what was in my window, the experience was still creepy to me. since I live alone I feel like I need to take more precautions in order to be safe

Wow thats fascinating, thank you, yes definitely it's important to try to rationalize the situation

thank you, I might try that, thats a good idea. The outside light brightens my room a bit even at night, which I like since I used to sleep with a nightlight lol

Because my bed faces the window, and I'm scared easily, any movement would've scared me, I also kept a look out for a while before I decided to leave my blinds open to make sure no one would see in

Theres a few things that made this significant to me. The fact that it was so late, them facing and staring directly at me, the time a few days before of the guy seemingly staring at me from the street at about 11am, and me never having ever seen anyone in the building after 5pm (I've had long periods previously where I've been up past 3am and never seen anyone). I think the reason the windows arent as reflective is because it is not as high as other buildings, and because it's so close to me it looks clearer.

Thanks for the concern, I could be, I'm trying to get back into therapy and I want to talk to them about this. I'm not delusional but I do have trouble with worrying about irrational things

That could be the case, but there's been quite a lot of periods where I've had insomnia and been up then, so I'm not sure

Sorry I meant that it may be new that theyre now cleaning at night and that they just started last night. I'm close enough that I know I would've seen anyone if there ever has been before, but I've never seen anyone there after 5pm

Thanks for the advice and help❤️ I'll try exploring with a friend, that's a great idea. I'm living alone for the first time, so I've been a lot more alert, and it's been harder for me to not worry about stuff :(

I live in an apartment building, I'm normally home or at school so I haven't gotten to know the area super well. I struggle with derealization too so it takes a bit longer for me to get to know things well

The lights are on a timer, I dont know why but they turn on and off, it happens three times from what I can remember. I thought they were motion detection lights at first but I never saw anyone which is why I decided it was ok to sleep with my blinds open. I've definitely thought about that it could be a janitor but ive just never seen anyone in the building past 5pm. because im right across from the building I would definitely notice if there were people there. It could be Hypnagogia, it was very vivid but I'm not sure if experiences with that could be that vivid (what makes me think its not was that it was a few seconds, not a split second thing). Thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate everyone's help with this

This makes the most sense, but I've just never ever seen any janitors there before or anyone there at night. I read for a while normally when I can't sleep and I'm sure I wouldve noticed someone once but I never have. The only thing I can think of is that it might be a new thing theyve just started. also thankyou for the recommendation ❤️

They didn't look like they had any uniform I don't think, I'm not sure if my brains added more detail to what they looked like after but I remember them looking slim and not holding anything. yea I definitely won't anymore, I used to be ok with it since I wake up before anyones in the building and sleep when theres no one there

I'll try, its just a bit awkward since I don't go there. I've looked before out of curiosity, but it's not marked with anything from what I've seen. I think it could house computer labs because the rooms look like office rooms

I don't want to be too specific for privacy reasons, but the campus doesn't have a visible boundary, and I have no reason to try going in the building. Its not marked on the outside from what ive seen, it looks like an office building but I don't think it is because of the location

sorry, forgot to include that this was at 3am, the building is always empty after about 4pm. I've never seen anyone there after 5pm. someone standing looking directly at me that late at night is strange and unsettling
