Re-occurring coincidences

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I am so happy to have come across this website, now I know that I am no going crazy. Here are my chain of events, If I met a guy and there is a romance interest the following happenings, I will constantly here his name anywhere and everywhere and even the name This will be a conversation with or without me over hearing, turning on the radio, in the shop or at work. Once the love interest continues I will hear the name of home address, as someone’s surname, someone yelling out the name is the street, a song the name of the city or street, etc Then for whatever reasons the love interest dies and the whole cycle would draw to a halt. These love interest does not necessarily develop into an intimate relationship. I noticed this happens constantly, the only way I could describe the whole experience was like ‘spiritual harassment’ or being ‘under a spiritual radar’ looking at any potential relationship that I could have this is the only way I could describe it. Once the love interest dissolves the coincidences would stop, as though it never happened. Some Examples: A love interest with a very unusual name rang me one evening to share in feelings with me, the next a lady walked into my workplace with the very same usual name. I deliberately refused to call a potential love interest by his first name, so I would address him by his surname only and the same coincidences would occur and I would never hear his surname, but only his surname. Another person his name was so over the place that a customer came in and his surname was the name of the love interest home address. Another time I invented a man and give him a name, and the same coincidences happened, however, it just died down after about 6 weeks. Before any of these interest could develop into a relationship there seems to be an invisible intensity then the friendship dissolves. This has been going on for a while, I felt as if someone had done witchcraft, as I cannot seem to point my finger on the meaning. 18 months I met someone who was a love interest and I took the plunge and develop a relationship, however, I would not mention his name, I would address him as Mr and Sir (he found me addressing him that way humorous) for at least 15 months. However, we use to experience strange looks from people whom neither of us knew. The facial expressions would be showing a look of confusion, as to imply who is he, or I didn’t know they were together or how are they together. We would both recognise this bizarre from some people who did not actually know us. This is the only way I can describe the experience. Anyway, the last 3 months, I started to address him by his first name. Wow! The coincidences seem to be spiralling out control, his name would pops up in conversations when even if the person has called an incorrect name, his city pops up everywhere, totally unexpected place 6months later it is intensifying to the point it is scary. The relationship has since developed an invisible intensity that cannot be explained and we have drifted. The only sign I get from this 6 months later is that he must still have an interest, as the ‘spiritual harassment’ or ‘coincidences ‘would not still be happening. Is there something more creepy going on or am I getting the wrong messages from these re-occurring coincidences? Thank you for taking the time to read my experiences
