Yes! This has happened and does regularly. I have a feeling non-publicly known people can have a difficult time sorting out who they are to others without introductions. I also feel migrants are interfering globally because they like to pretend things, may even lie about who they know and don’t know.
Within my small life as a youth I encountered COMPETITION by gang members older than me. People instead of “knowing me” chose to lie about me and “be more important” even though they may have needed me to speak up, be big for them. The opposite was also happening! Some adults who were clearly in control of other people pretending I told them what to do and I didn’t even know their name(s)! –Nor did I learn what they did to or with others.
What was going on in the 1970s is I was getting beat up and hostaged around gangs and I was NOT CERTAIN exactly who they thought I was. I didn’t always know what to tell people… so some just spoke for me when I was not around.
Who I was may have changed in the 1970s also! Sometimes I may have been connected with something big, real big… on paper anyway. Other times, nothing going on. It may have been due to slander or not.
I was a REAL BABY. I got slandered about, and that’s how I was used a lot and likely why people had to cancel me to so many things.
I want to mention this, even in my youth ADULT MEN were showing up to “try to get work” instead of me… ANYWHERE. I should not have to elaborate what that is. They were not related to me, there was no promise of sharing earnings or even a friendship.
What I’ve got RIGHT NOW is a small life. I am trying to take care of what I have. I sense there are gang members trying to make me “big again” and I can’t get big, I’m not supposed to. I don’t want to pretend it either. I’m very real out in public. It is clear some of the key people who knew me in the 1970s HAVE DIED or they would have been yelling at the gang members who are trying to “inflate me too much”. I hope it wasn’t just to traffick me through the L.A. courts. It may have and that’s why the case doesn’t look good. Too much slander to get me in. SOME PEOPLE WERE WARNED TO NOT PUSH ME THROUGH THE L.A. COURTS later in life. Some may have known what would happen, a lot more than me. I really should have gotten all those legal people in a different light a long time ago. They know I am not a gang member or a key Los Angeleno.
I get autobiographical so you all know that I have REAL WORLD EXPERIENCES of things not going correctly. Hmpf.
