this happened to me like six months ago.  a bunch of people wrote me saying i messaged them. and i was like, i did not. you could clearly see from my end of the chat, they started the conversation. it was so freaking weird i thought people were pranking me. and thats how i started distancing my self on #nostr from certain people.  

 I also thought it was an elaborate troll, but it was starting to come from people I doubted would troll me. 

 isnt that sort of what is supposed to happen though. petty shit coming from the ones least expected? im not surprised.  i feel sad for people with time to discuss me in their DMs. tbh .  

 Well, the person who wrote you didn't even get the DM, probably. They just got sent one that they can't read, that seemed to be from you. 

 they get the DM with the mention from who ever they are discussing with. those are the contents you cant read since you'd need either nsecs to decrypt it. dunno whether that makes sense.
