Do you guys ever feel unlucky to the point where you feel like you are being cursed?

as for me, i got unlucky streak this year non stop, such as :

• i diagnosed with anxiety disorder and depression,
• i lost my 4 years business over simple mistake,
• i got third degree burn on both of my hand because of the hospital malpractice
• even just for simple haircut somehow barber massage my head too strong, causing my head tense until now.
• random lizard fell on my body at toilet around midnight, i have to take bath because of that.

at this point, i think world really tries to mess with me and wont let me live in peace.

2026 is truly worst year for me.

@shojivr@lemmy.zip Yeah, happens. I used to be very focused specifically on a nonstop failure chains, it took me a while to realize that, depending on your mood, you can attach much more significance and importance to individual setbacks than you did during a time when things were generally a little better. I found it to be an important realization to have and keep in mind, even while sometimes it really is just one crap after another with no mental workarounds about that

Life is a roguelite and sometimes the RNG gets bad rolls one after another. Actually happens pretty often.

Sounds like a really shit streak for you though.

I usually use engraving to get out of a shit streak. https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Elbereth

It's not luck. The gods hate me.

Quite often, yeah. Hope you stop feeling that way.

I was born on 1993-09-10 (not in the US).

Imagine enjoying your eighth birthday party, then less than 48 hours later, you saw the North Tower collapse through live TV.

Imagine visiting the Kennedy Space Center in December 2002 and you saw Columbia sitting on the launch pad.

Imagine looking forward to your 32nd birthday, then on the day itself, the internet is abuzz because Charlie Kirk was shot.

yeah i think we are cursed or something that it keeps happening

well at least it doesnt impact you directly, at least not physically and considering 33 years of life, thats not so bad compared to what happens to me in just this year.

thanks, i just want it to stop, i am tired of it already

it did, somehow bad rolls keeps attacking me like i am main target

it seems i need to know how to improve my mood else things wont get better

In 2014 and 2015 I was nearly killed or injured in two separate accidents at work. Luckily I got away with no injury. I've worked dozens of jobs but they are either high turnover roles or they are part-time and barely pay my rent so I need to be subsidised by social welfare. All the people I meet are bonkers and I feel uncomfortable around normal people anyway, because I don't have their lifestyle or any career direction. I've basically been unemployed since early 2021 with very few small exceptions. Prior to that I was unemployed from about early 2016 til late 2020 then had my job for 5 months but quit due to the intense pressure and my boss threatening me with written warnings for not performing tasks with perfect KPI and too many complaints from impatient customers. It's just impossible these days. Even with a job I can't move into a better rental - I'm stuck in a shared house with 8 bedrooms and only 1 communal kitchen which has numerous problems. No car park, so I can't drive to any jobs now, has to be on a bus route. I got sick of having to share a driveway with the other 6 tenants who all own cars. I have to keep moving my car and then on the road there are time limits. I sold my car at the start of the year and made a loss. It didn't take long to spend the money because it was so little. I basically bought a board game, some new underwear and a subscription to a website. Also bought new foam (installed on my computer chair) no money now lol

I spent the weekend sitting on my ass now it's sunday night and I didn't even do the things I told myself I would do haha

yes, I also have felt cursed for personal reasons I won't share

Luck is like a rollercoaster to me: bad luck followed by good luck and vice versa. I'm usually either really lucky/unlucky or barely lucky/unlucky. Never really in the middle.

yeah cannot blame you, job market is actually pretty bad right now.

wow two separate accident and no injury, we can say it is lucky in some point?

most of your problem can be resolved once you got better career for sure.

guess i am not alone feeling about it

well guess its balanced for you? well at least you are not in bad streak, thats already good at least

well no problem, most people spend their weekend doing something fun anyway.

That's true, I just thought I had somehow caused it and that took a long time for me to grow out of that idea.
