    So what you wrote after "Jokes aside," was also a joke?

This is a well-known psychological phenomenon, not a joke or coincidence.

  I understand that. I just don't think it applies to this case. It happened to me and close friends, that's why I am skeptical. It is very easy to have opinions and explanations on something you didn't experience yourself.

    This phenomenon happens to me and close friends too.
