Coincidence, or what?

[southern_belle21]

It's probably just me, but has anyone else ever seen a word, name, or phrase or something similar, over and over and over, that makes you feel like maybe you're trying to be told something? Even though you're not sure exactly what. Or possibly that maybe it's just complete coincidence? Any thoughts?

I think it's mostly that you tend to start noticing the phrase or word when you hadn't before.

I agree. I know that once I bought a particular make and model of car, I began to see them everywhere. Nothing changed except my observation skills.

That being said, if I saw the phrase "Die Indimom Die" repeatedly, I might get concerned. Sorry, OP, I had to do it.

I do know what you mean though, there have been rare occasions over the years where similar events or comments kept creaping up on me and it does make you wonder if 'someone' is trying to get your attention or give you a sign. For me, nothing ever came of it.

I believe the term is called 'synchronicity' and it happens to me with the time. It seems that more often than can be attributed to coincidence, I'll look at the time and it will be 9:11. I realize that the reason is probably because those are numbers I would tend to notice more than others, yet it still seems it happens more often than one would think - I'd say probably several times a week.

If I had any kind of an idea how many times I look at the time during the course of the day I could figure out if it was more often than was due to chance, but there's no telling how often I glance at the clock without even consciously thinking about it. Unless, of course, it is 9:11 and then it registers.

Except I've heard it called something else (multiple word term), but I can't think of what it is right now.
