I was offended kept thinking the phrase “Be nice. It’s not that hard.”
Then I went on Facebook and someone wrote “Be nice. It’s not hard.” I know it’s a delusion but this is still messing me up.
This is a delusion right? Have any of you had major coincidences like this?
not really a delusion but giving more importance to something than you should
hearing and seeing phrases we may be thinking of is not so unusual
It’s a coincidence. It could happen to anybody.
This kind of stuff happens to me all the time. Like a few weeks ago I was thinking about Batman and people were posting gifs of Batman on fb.
Bro… This happens to me all the time. It use to mess me up but I experience it Soo often that it’s got to be normal
I just made a post that I keep seeing the name Gabriel. But it’s just a coincidence. You help me see this so thank you.
At the ward I was thinking about this weird song that says brown chicken brown cow and this chic totally said it. I guess it’s a coincidence.
Happens to me at times. Probably happens to most people. The question is; what does it mean to YOU? Are your thoughts being transmitted or broadcast? Is the 5G tower zapping up your ideas through your WiFi technology and then sending it to “the man”? Are you being watched? Or is it just a coincidence?
I know my thoughts can run 10000mph when it happens to me. I get loads of delusions and funny ideas. But chances are, its just one of tbose things. Harmless.
I feel like my thoughts are broadcasted to the public, but I know this isn’t true. I believe it’s called “thought broadcasting”
One day I was thinking about the movie “Independence Day” and when I turned on my car one of the songs in the movie was playing. That messed me up too.
It is called that. I get it once in a while. But usually Ill rationalise it out, although it comes to mind as “option A” always immediately.
Ie: its hot, and I really want my brother to get me an isotonic drink, and I keep thinking it. Then he suddenly turns and offers me that exact drink and the exact flavour.
I get it all the time. I think it’s my main symptom
So you have a lot of coincidences in your life. Do you think it means something, like magic or the supernatural somehow? Because it doesn’t.
Like the two examples you gave, “Be nice. It’s not hard” and the Batman coincidence. So what, it happens. Looking at it objectively, how do those two coincidences affect your life? It’s reading in to them and attaching significance to them that affects you.
But the actual fact that you are thinking of Batman and saw gifs means nothing in itself. So you were thinking of Batman, and saw gifs. In the grand scheme of things it means nothing. It happened and it’s over and done with, it doesn’t mean Batman has any significance in your life. It was a silly little incident that if it was me, I would tell myself, “that was neat” and forget about 5 minutes later.
What I’m trying to say is just see these incidents for what they are: little incidents that mean nothing. They have nothing to do with magic or god, they’re just random, tiny things that happen and don’t deserve a second thought. I probably didn’t make it clear what I was trying to say but I hope this helps a little.
That’s common enough to be a coincidence.
I don’t know what you’d call “overestimating coincidences,” but it’s a definite symptom of the disorder. It’s not really a delusion on its own but trying to find patterns and solutions where there are none is definitely a thing.
