You'll never know though. You probably said some random profound thing long ago and that one person who you once knew in high school thinks about you every time they are reminded of that profound thing.
Probably at the same frequency I think about them based on our closeness to each other.
I wonder what they think quite often. I know they do. Everyone occasionally remembers people they once knew, even tangentially. Someone you never talked to has probably dreamed about you before.

I think about random people from my past somewhat often. So maybe?
I had a relative who'd been out of contact with our family try to find me without asking my close relatives. I'm not on Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram, or any of that stuff so it was a real challenge. She ended up talking to several people from my past and they had some interesting and puzzling things to say about me. My favorite was "He's a fucking badass.".

My name is pronounced in an odd way that people have difficulty with, but it happens to rhyme with a decently well-known song lyric, so I've sometimes explained my name pronunciation by half-singing that part of the song to anyone having trouble.
I like to think that a whole bunch of random people I barely knew think of me whenever they hear that song come on.

I don't think about them at all, much less consider thinking about them thinking about me.
But since you made me think about it, yes, I'm pretty sure they think about me. Unlike me, they're not assholes who think little of the memories they made with people they met.

People who you are cool with do tend to think about you.
A friend of mine told me she missed me because me and her didn't talk for about a week

Why would they? I'm pretty boring so I highly doubt they would think about me or bring me up whenever I'm not around.
Do I think about them? Sometimes.

People mention to me that they thought about me when I get in touch, and it would seem weird to lie about that.
To think that people are thinking about me, I'd have to think about those people, which would mean some strange person from their past was thinking about them at that moment.
Sadly I stabbed the metaphysical ouroboros by not caring enough to think in the first place, so we all lose.

Sure, but it doesn't mean invasive thoughts can't occur about Stephanie Samson from 3rd grade. Man I wonder where she is at these days.
Seems like a thing that comes naturally with the scenery. You visit your parents home or the town where you grew up, and may remember some people from school back then. Or visiting the campus of your Alma mater after years of not being there, etc. You remember the place, then think about those people in the scenes in your head.
Probably. It's natural to come up with random memories from time to time. I occasionally remember people and incidents that are so far beyond relevance now, like how the cool new gym teacher when I was in eighth grade had become a major-league asshole by the time I graduated. I never had any beef with him but it's something that I randomly come up with once in a while. Don't even remember the guy's name but I think of him.
Some of my high school friends remember me in a genuine sense based on the occasional nostalgia-laden Facebook post where I get tagged, aside from us having no other contact at present.

Agree with the post, like the song choice... we are done here.

Well, I'll add you to my list of random people to think about one day. Except there is an extra layer of mystery about you.
I think about them, so I've always assumed so. Random, insignificant to my life people from my past pop into my head all of the time. I'll never talk to or look these people up ever again, but it's fun to imagine what they're up to these days. I like to think they're doing nothing with their lives to make myself feel better...
Im sure once in a blue moon since it seems like most of us here do it, just reading this thread made me think if someone I haven't thought of in over 10 or 15 years, my first crush ever Samantha, I can't remember at all what her last name was but if I remember right it was like first grade or second and we were good friends.
