Hi, I'm new here. First response actually. I was thinking about making my own post until I saw this. Slightly lengthy...
Yesterday I tried to CTB. I drove to a rooftop parking lot that is usually empty during most of the day. It's a spot I frequent. As I am listening to a song with my method in hand about to execute, a woman pulls up directly next me! My windows were down, she looked directly at me, and still pulled beside me. As I cried, I realized I couldn't do it with her there. Then I realized she wasn't moving so I decided to preceded anyway. As soon as I re-equipped my method, she opened her car door. I put down what was in my hand and she never got out. She left over an hour later.
After she left, I got out and just stared at the sun behind the clouds, looking for answers I guess. I decided to try again but this time outside of my car. As I reach in to grab what was needed, a Spotted Lanternfly decides to crawl on the ground next to me. FUN FACT: I'm terrified of insects! I was essentially trapped for what felt like an hour until this thing finally crawIed away from me. I stopped trying.
Today, I was ready again. As I attempt, my phone buzzed with a reddit notification. I click on it, fully expecting it to be something stupid I immediately click off of, and someone starts talking! I immediately freeze. It was a reddit live! I had no idea such a thing even existed. I took it as multiple signs.
So I know I could've ignored all of this and proceeded anyway but I think this was something else intervening. Each thing was enough to give me pause and say "WTF?" What do you think?
