it's been happening to me on pretty much every day basis. usually when i'm outside, e.g. walking my dog or if im going somewhere with my boyfriend. occasionally at home too. at first it's impossible to tell them apart from 'real' people. but when i try to actually look at them, they disappear. sometimes i see spiders or glimpses our dead cat when at home.
my friend thinks i might be seeing ghosts/spirits or something like that but idk. can anyone relate? i'm wondering it's something with my vision, maybe. do most people experience that sort of thing and is it just my vision playing tricks on me?

this is very common. if youve ever heard your name being called this is like that; also fine. Having vivid or continous hallucinations like looking at these fake people and them waving back or something would be concerning but this is normal.

As to answer your direct question, I've had this happen a lot. In my case, it was the same specific people over and over again, so it was grief-fuelled psychosis (or psychosis-fuelled grief, perhaps - hard to tell)

You can still have psychosis/a psychotic condition and know they're not real people
