Growing up, I wasn't really a superstitious person. The only superstition that I actually believed in was the whole "opening an umbrella indoors" thing. I was told as a child that opening an umbrella indoors was bad luck and I legit used to believe that opening an umbrella indoors would cause someone to get struck by lightning while you were still indoors.
I was superstitious when I was younger making sure I wouldn’t open an umbrella indoors, not walking under a ladder, knocking on wood to make sure nothing bad happens.
Now as an adult I’m not anymore and I don’t really think about that stuff.
Not at all anymore. But when I was little I did believe in some fancy tricks to make it snow, like flushing ice down the toilet, putting white crayons in the freezer, sleeping with pajamas inside out, and more
Are these common things people tell little kids or was this just where I live?
Not really superstitious anymore, but I do remember a family member being superstitious, and one of them was raising your feet off the car floor when going through a yellow light. Obviously whoever's driving can't do this though, because it would pose immediate safety risks.
I used to be when I was a kid due to being told things by my grandma and other family members, like touching the outside of the plane before entering for good luck. Nowadays I don't believe in superstition or anything of that sort. If anything, things that seem like "signs" is merely just coincidences.
I never truly believed in superstitions, but I have gotten close a few times when it came to sports. I ate a specific cheeseburger from a big chain restaurant once and my team won a big game in the playoffs. I continued to eat the same burger when I could, and they would win, but if I didn't eat that burger, they lost.
I didn't truly believe that my favorite team was winning because I ate cheeseburgers but that small part of my brain kept saying "but... will you chance it?"
End of story... I gained unhealthy weight, and my team won the championship
but that small part of my brain kept saying "but... will you chance it?"
