I'm trying to think of something that I'm superstitious about. At this point since I can't think of something off of the top of my head... I suppose I'm not not that superstitious at all. Yet, that question "How superstitious are you?" bugs me in a sense that I know I have to be superstitious about something... 🤷♂️
I thinking about the most commonly known ones, like opening an umbrella indoors... not sure what that is suppose to incur …Ok, I looked it up and it's like "they could be dangerous to open indoors. In most cases, opening an umbrella inside could caused serious damage to household items and people."Then there is walking underneath a ladder... well, I guess that is a given since you could bump into it and have something drop on your head.
Ok, apparently "In medieval times, ladders were thought to resemble gallows – where people went to be hung. When you walked under a ladder, it was believed that you would then face death by hanging." But what about picking up a penny that is tails up? Like what is that all about? Be right back as I look that one up. I'm not even going to share what I found out abut that one... talk about the stupidest explanation I have ever read for a superstition!

I believe there are things that we cannot explain but it has nothing to do with black cats or the number 13.
To degrees.
My grandmother came from a remote Irish village where superstition was, and still is in ways, very predominant. She would not clean the fireplace entirely & forbid anyone from doing it in case you disturbed the brownie.
I don't mean an edible brownie. A house gnome. Or a house spirit/guardian. Has various names, in England they'd call it a hob. It was believed that the brownie would help around the house at night - the "elves" who helped the shoemaker of Disney's Pinocchio would be like brownies - and keep evil spirits away from the house as long as the occupants of the house respect it.
But when you grow up in such a setting superstitions will be in the back of the mind.
I believe partially in karma and ill wishes from the heart.
In my case whenever someone wronged me or betrayed me, I cursed them and yes they got the taste of their own medicine.

I simply choose to be skeptical. However, you have to admit this kind of scenario is hard to explain:
Multiple parties show up at a police station, all frightened. One looks completely normal, while the other looks sick and cold from being stuck in the harsh weather, and the other seems high or srunk from partying at a friend's house. All parties report a strange sighting, giving the exact same details - location, description, and maybe time frames as well.
Of course, there's always the case of crazy people lurking around in the darkness beyond. But in this specific kind of scenario, what does that mean for things that aren't as natural?I am not. Many I have talked to are, and they go to mediums, and the like. Those who deal with Tarot cards, will not let me nowhere near them; they fear that whatever power they have with them will be gone, if I touch them.
I do know there are powers in this world, and I also know they are linked directly to demons. Ghost cannot harm you, or contact you. But, demons masquerading as a loved one will contact you.Enough to be uncomfortable around dolls and that's it.
extremely, and it's nonsense but I still do it (knocking on wood)
Quite. I believe that there is more to this world then we can see or even understand.

There was guy painting a mural at one of my old jobs. He had 2 latters lined up next to each other in front of the entrance to the building and was asking that we walk under the latters. I called out of work because I thought it was a bad omen. 2 weeks later we found out one of our co workers hung themselves in the storage room on that day.
I'm not superstitious.. I'm just a little stitious lol

Long story cut short I've being wearing the same underpants for the last 6 months and we still haven't won a game!! ... this is definitely a joke lol
I'm more substitious.
I believe in things that are actually there, but few others believe in,.I try not to be superstitious but I can't help to drop some water on the salt if it falls on the floor 🙄
Only when I'm home alone watching a scary movie and I've had a couple drinks.
Only slightly.
I'm superstitious in that I prefer inaction over action in complicated "girl situations.". Because I don't want to say the wrong thing and jinx it.
But other than that, no; I rely entirely on science.It's crazy but I never look at my cards until they're all dealt.
I'm very superstitious
The writing's on the wallI'm bad with 13 if it's 13 minutes past or to the hour when I check the time I literally can't do anything until it changes
I have very little superstition.
Not at all. Zero, zilch, nada.
