Accepting the truth that magic ain't real was tough

Two sips of water counter the next spell cast your way, no wonder he's having such an easy time avoiding them
This reminds me of some work drama...
My coworker was cursed by our ~~b~~witch of an 'assistant manager' for turning her down, and the next day his mom had hot oil splash up her whole arm and it looked bad.
Not supersticious but he was and he was terrified. It was horrible to watch.
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.
tbh I've just accepted that superstitions are part of the human psyche. I don't believe in "chi" in the sense of some energy that can be measured but there's definitely some kind of pattern recognition in the human subconscious that's processing the flow of the environment around them and the people in it that way. And a lot of cultures worldwide have longstanding traditions that guide the way they deal with that both in the sense of soothing that part of the subconscious but also trying to address whatever threat or goal in the environment that that pattern recognition is trying to draw attention to. I really enjoyed "Feng Shui Modern" by Cliff Tan if you want a really great explanation of concrete ways in which principles of that practice tend to help people feel safer in a space. He talks about things like the most common paths people take take through rooms, wanting to have your back against something solid, and not liking having beams and lights hanging directly over your head.
And personally I just try to keep the less concretely beneficial things to fun cultural traditions and other stuff I can connect with people around and avoid things that have been like, objectively disproven by modern science in some way or that would be specifically harmful to some specific circumstance / situation. So like carrying around an evil eye talisman is fine but using an herbal remedy that's been found to be harmful is not. And I find it's also helpful to think of it less in terms of specific effects / outcomes such as hexing, and more in terms of good energy / bad energy or good luck / bad luck. So the evil eye ward isn't protecting me from some specific thing, it's just a general hope that I'll avoid toxicity in my life. And there's a big mindfulness component to these things too; the talisman is also a reminder to yourself to avoid negativity and try to put positivity out into the world around you.
Sounds like you have a superstition about superstitions.
No, I don't think it's "bad luck" to think things are "bad luck".
is skeptical and doesn't believe in the supernatural
has a fear of developing superstition
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.
I have a made up word I have never said to anyone.
Nobody claiming to be psychic has ever been able to detect it.
While it's a meaningless thing overall, it is endlessly entertaining to watch someone spiral from "trying" to discover it, to random guessing, to being angry and declaring that I'm lying and they got it the first time.
It's kinda like my secret. I have a secret I have never told anyone. It's another thing I will put before a self proclaimed psychic. Even once they progress to guessing, none have ever even thrown it out as an option.
And you'd be amazed how many self proclaimed psychics there are out in the world, and how many of them seem to really think they are psychic, to the degree that they'll accept someone presenting one or both of those challenges.
The made up word would be a difficult guess for sure. But my secret isn't something so rare that nobody could possibly hit on it as a guess.
I'm not willing to outright say that there's no thing that could be called psychic ability. What I am willing to say is that nobody has ever exhibited such, and likely never will
Bro you didn't make up that word. You heard it on an episode of Always Sunny and forgot. I'd say it but honestly it's so close to a racial slur that I'd rather not risk it.
You have said it before, it was the last thing you said to Brian before he went out that night and... well I can sense there's a lot of unresolved drama there so I'll stop talking now
Anyway don't worry about Brian, in the great hereafter he became really good at Sudoku and is considering reincarnation on a planet in the Crab nebula. Interesting choice considering the people of that world are all female. Humanity won't discover them for about two weeks but first contact will be surprisingly underwhelming
Naw I'm messing with you. This was all stream of conciousness... but maybe I freaked someone out who thought I was serious.
I fucking loved it!
