I wouldn't ever do this because as soon as anything went wrong in my life I'd never be able to shake the question that it was super natural. I'm extremely skeptical and don't believe in any supernatural things, but I have a fear of developing superstitions. Also when I get really stressed about my life and feel like it is particularly unfair I start to feel like there is some sort of external source of my problems and it's malevolent. So, doing something like this would be a recipe for problems for me lol.
Sounds to me like you've been cursed, mate.
Hopefully if I'm ever cursed it'll be in a cool way, like it'll teach me some sort of life lesson then either go away or be useful after the fact. Rather than some sort of eternal punishment thing lmao.
Television has taught me it’s usually resolved within 30-45 minutes of hijinxs and adventures … or two episodes if it’s something really major
Sounds like you have a superstition about superstitions.
They aren't superstitious, but they're a little stitious
Mediumstitious.
What a whelming comment
No, I don't think it's "bad luck" to think things are "bad luck".
Ngl that sounds like a good horror-comedy
I like your world view!
There has to be a fancy name for this phobia.
A phobia of phobias? It's called Phobophobia.
Hmm, it seems "superstition" in Greek is "deisidaimonía", so maybe deisidaimophobia? Or we could go with Latin for the much more familiar "superstitio" for "superstitiophobia".
