Almost a month ago, I was walking and saw a man for about 1 second. Then, I started looking elsewhere and probably a building was hiding him from my point of view. When I went neare, (it took me about 15 seconds) I could not see the man. I was expecting to see him because it looked to me as if he was standing
I started worrying that he may have vanished because of a glitch in the simulation system (if im case we are in one). For about 5-15 minutes, I was trying to find ways or buildings he may have gone to. I wanted so much to find where he went in order to calm down. Before leaving, I decided to take 2 (i think) photos of the place in order to show the place to 2 friends and together find where he may have turned or what buiding he may have gone to.
If my ocd was not triggered, I probably would not have taken photos. I just wanted an explanation in order to calm down. Before taking the photos, I started having intrusive thoughts about a punishment from Gods of the system for taking photos. I think here was not any glitch in the place and I was not planning to capture any. I just wanted the place in my photos in order to find an explanation.
I deleted those photos some time later, without showing them because I started worrying. Even though, I found some possible ways and buildings that the man may have gone to, I still worry.
After some days, some coincidences started happening and I am worrying that they may be bad signs from Gods or the programers. For example:
- 1) I was thinking that I may read some specific phrases of excitement in the comments section of a non-related topic. I remembered reading them in an older topic. So, I assumed that I may read them in the newer one too. Indeed, someone had written one of the phrases that I assumed I may read. Due to this small coincidence-guess (even though it was kinda expected), I got a worrying thought that a bigger coincidence may happen. Many times in the past, when small coincidences were happening, I automatically was worrying that a bigger one may happen and that it may be related to my ocd worry as a possible bad sign. So, I worried that if I check the username or the signature of the one who wrote the guessed phrase, I may see a word related to simulation. Kinda like "we live in a simulation" or "matrix" or "Neo". I checked the username and there was no relation. I scrolled down a few comments and someone else had posted a link of a game that had the word "simulator" in its title. I think one of the next days, I asked the one who posted the link why he posted it. He told me that he wanted to make fun of the people who get excited.
- 2) One day, I saw a man in the super market. His face maybe kinda was like the face of the video game character from the 1) coincidence (Wth the game that had the word "simulator" in its title). Not only that but both were wearing similar gray hats. THe video game character was wearing a typical gray, circular hat and the man in the mark was wearing a gray bucket hat.
- 3) I was thinking about the bucket hat coincidence a lot. The next day, I was walking in the street and was thinking about it a lot. I was having thoughts like "why that man had to wear that had?" etc etc. some seconds later, I see a tourist in an almost empty street, wearing a black cappas hat with a feather and taking pictures of a graffiti/painting of a building. I have never seen such a hat in my city. Not only that, but I saw him while I was thinking about a hat (though different kind). Also, the man was taking pictures of a graffiti/painting and it reminded how my worries began (me taking photos of the place in order to find buildings/ways where the man may have gone to)
- 4) I was thinking about the toursist coincidnece a lto. Like an obsession. I was thinking about it while clicking on a random second of a youtube video that I had opened. I was thinking about the coincidence and about 5-10 seconds after the click, there was a quote saying "thats not a good sign"
- 5) One other time, Ι was in my bed with my eyes closed and thinking about my ocd worry and non-related stuff also. I started feeling tired and I started losing control of my thoughts but I did not fell asleep. Suddenly, I cant remember what I was thinking but I ended up thinking a phrase that can be transalated as "oh go to devil". About 1 second later, I probably heard my brother saying that phrase from his room, while playing an online game. I did not hear his words clearly but the melody sounded as if he was saying "oh go to devil". What if I was thinking about signs or my ocd worry when these synchronicity happened? (if my brother said that phrase).
- 6) Some days later, while thinking about this coincidence and while thinking the phrase "oh go to devil" i maybe heard a woman from outside saying the word "devil" exactly when I was thinking it. I am not sure if she said that word because I could not hear her clearly. She may have said an other word. Some time later, I was thinking about what the woman may have said and while hearing an interview from a tv journalist, he randomly used a greek expression that contains the word "devil". Luckily, I think when the journalist used that word, I was NOT thinking about the coincidence.
- 7) One other time, I was feeling better and was not thinking about these coincidneces. Suddenly, I started remembering what the woman from outside may have said. The tv was on and I was afraid that I may hear the word "devil" while thinking about it. But it was commercials and I randomly thought something like "ha I can think about the word as much as I want because ads cant have the word "devil"". I kept analyzing the coincidence with the woman and that word, and spend some seconds thinking about it. An ad started playing that had the word "signs".
- 8) I was scrolling in youtube and I started worrying about my problem. Suddenly, I got a thought like "what if while scrolling I will see something related to my worries? and some scrolling below. there was a video about a weather forecast in which a grpahical glitch happened. the word "glitch" is related to my ocd worry.
- 9) I was thinking about my problem and started thinking stuff like "bla bla bla bla Gods are sending me signs bla bla bla bla?" and on that moment, I hear a tv ad saying the word "signs". I think it was about a face cream. the word scars/wrinkles can be said as "signs" in my language.
- 10) I was talking to a friend about my problem with coincidences. I wanted to send him a funny random message with the word "coincidence". I did not. Some minutes later, I had a message on facebook. I assumed that it may be my friend about the word "coincidence" because I forgot that I did nto send the message. So, when I heard my phone, I remembered my never-send message and the word "coincidence" popped up in my head. On that moment, I heard a woman saying something like "bla bla bla I have a sign...." I
