I can so relate to this! Something similar happened to me when a friend from my teen years posted a picture of her wedding and it popped up on my Facebook feed.

I had a “knowledge” that I was in her wedding, but I had no real memory of it. I still don’t even though I have tried to go back and find it.

When I saw the picture on my computer screen I didn’t know what to think! I looked at the picture and there was a bridesmaid that I thought was me. There was another one that had a shirt on that looked vaguely familiar and I didn’t know who that person was. It was a really strange feeling. I was more curious to find out who that person was.

I struggled with it for a while and finally decided to message my friend and ask her who that person was. We hadn’t been in contact for decades and I didn’t know what she would think.

It turned out, the person I thought was me in the picture wasn’t me and the person in the shirt that looked familiar was me. It’s such a weird feeling to know, and see, that I was there but have no recall of it and obviously couldn’t pick myself out of the picture.

We were really good friends and there’s just nothing there.
