Is it normal to think stuff happens for me?

And just fyi, i don't mean that with any narcissism.

Okay so, i've always analysed and observed myself. And for the past few years now, i've noticed patterns. I may see something, then maybe a day or week after, something based around that will happen. Or, i may feel a certain way, then something based around that will occur.

For example - today i wondered if something i felt was a possible symptom of depression...and then, upon my tumblr dashboard, a sheet of symptoms appears.

Sometimes in times of trouble or high anxiety i'll wish relaly hard for a way to avoid something (and i'm shy, so i always have to wait and hope soemthing happens to postpone things) and then, as if magically, stuff will happen which causes me to avoid it. And it happens almost every time that i wish hard enough to excape.

Or i might learn something - like the meaning of a word, of a happening, or of new things in general. Then a week or so after, something will come up that requires that knowledge. (most of the time it is something new that appears, and not just now noticing it. but i can admit that some of these cases are in-the-moment news for example. though not all of it. some of it genuinely is as explained...)

It's...odd how it happens. It's all by coincidence. is it normal to think stuff happens around me?

    It's called "confirmation bias" - the failure to look for contraindications.

  • You have just described the concept of synchronicity. :)

    I've noticed that I will see someone somewhere that looks like someone I know and then I will see that actual person. It happens all the time to me.

    Actually I have this too...no I dont think it happens to everyone.

    One time I was talking about how much I really wanted oranges...tgat day friends if ours went to a swap meet (a place were people sell things...a mix of businesses crafts and garage sales) and that night they brought me back oranges ...they were delicious.

    Thats just one example I have many more...I dont know what it is.
