Ask yourself whether you'd notice someone following you when you weren't looking out for it.

The part that impressed me and led me to post it was the whole "X applies to everyone else, hmm maybe it applies to me too" idea.

But how would I distinguish 'no one has been following me and so I did not notice no one has been following me' from 'someone has followed me at some point and I did not notice that they were following me'?
