Bob, you wanted to know how a hypothetical poster's prophecies or expectations about you could become a reality if the poster didn't question themselves. I think a key issue here is whose reality would the prophesies and expectations actually take place in? No amount of self questioning is going to bring about changes in your actual life based on what posters say or do except in extreme cases which is not what we are discussing.(For example where a poster takes specific action against you which would cause a change based on their self questioning. Where they seek you out in some way.) One very obvious way for a poster's reality concerning you to become a reality would be magical thinking and from what I know about it, a whole lot of self questioning isn't necessary.
