Psychic...well, sort of.

When I was younger and walking around in the middle of a crowd, a random word would suddenly pop into my head. Then somebody around me would say that word, or at least something like it that rhymes with it or something. It disappeared for a while and then now it's coming back again. Like today in a restaurant I suddenly thought of vegetarian food and the guy in the next table suddenly exclaimed "So she's a vegetarian?" Does this happen to other people?

    It's called synchronisity. It's natural and entirely coincidental.

    Yeah, that happens to me all the time. I believe it's caused by something like confirmation bias.

    Random words pop into your head all the time without you really noticing but if, coincidentally, someone near you then says the same word you do notice that you just thought that word and maybe the next time it happens you'll remember it happened this time too. Then when you remember a few of these events you start subconsciously looking for more and it's even more likely you'll notice and remember them.

    Dude its basic psychology man! If u think of a word, u r probs gunna think the next word u hear is the same word u thoight of.
    Sorta confusing? Yes i suck at explaining things. Lets do an example. Lets say i have a big jar of jelly beans. If i a coincidentally mention the number 800 most ppl r gunna guess that theirs800 jjully beans. See my point?
