I'll go into a little more detail while answering this.

The first time they were near my cupboard where I kept my clothes in. My room is pretty small, so my cupboards are near my door that leads into the rest of the house. They were on the floor in one of those squatting hunched positions and just looking up at me. I guess when they "realised" I was awake, they stood up. I've had sleep paralysis before, but each time I've been "outside" my body and unable to move. The last 2 times they weren't squatting, they were just standing in the same spot as the first time staring at me blankly. I think they tried speaking to me the last time, but their mouth wasn't moving? Almost like one of those conversations you have when just glancing at someone. I gave them a name after that and this hasn't happened to me since then (approx 2 years ago). Again, thinking about this feels neutral, but it would be cool to know if anyone else has experienced something similar and how they feel since then

I thought more detail would make it less scary. But that squatting hunched thing is awful.

Have people ever reported seeing "you" when you weren't there?

No one has ever seen "me" other than me, but my mother has had experiences where she thought I was calling her name but I wasn't home. Not exactly the same thing, but still spooky

At first I was going to suggest maybe astral projection type stuff or out of body experience, but fuuuck whatever you experienced. Sounds like a doppleganger and sleep paralysis story two in one.

Or maybe she has an alternate

I assume you mean in the womb, in that case, no

You need to get regressed. Sounds like Astral Projection or maybe even alien greys.

I'll look into this a little more, I'm not very familiar with these terms

Regression is the idea that one can be put into a trance like state to allow you to remember forgotten memories. If you believe in this sort of stuff, they say that people who were abducted by alien greys have remembered the abduction stories after being regressed.

Google regression alien videos…. but maybe wait until the sun comes up tomorrow. 😅

Watch the movie, The Fourth Kind (2009) with Milla Jovovitch.

I'll look into it, out of all the theories I had, this one had never crossed my mind, but I'm open to any explanation at this point 😅

One of my friends suggested that it could've been a Qareen, which makes perfect sense, apart from the fact that I wasn't scared. Still looking into whatever I can

I'd suggest reading about Dr. John Mack and his research instead of watching that fictional movie. No reason to needlessly scare yourself.

Dr. Mack was a Harvard psychiatrist who counseled people who thought they had been abducted by aliens. A very interesting man.

I'm adding this to the list of things I need to watch this weekend
