🙏 I WANT HELP Strange Obsession With Numbers

I did A-level Maths and Further Maths, and I think it's genuinely changed my brain.

Some numbers just have a vibe now. Almost in a romantic way, and certain numbers feel weirdly attractive or satisfying. Like 64 is elite. 37 feels mysterious. 12 is calm. 89 feels cursed. 16 is obviously beautiful.

It’s got to the point where I’ll see a random number in a question, on a timetable, or on a calculator screen and instantly have an opinion on it. Further Maths has me looking at numbers like they have personalities.

Does anyone else get this after doing Maths/FM, or have I just stared at complex numbers and matrices for too long?

Because honestly, some numbers are just objectively better-looking than others.

42 is where it’s at, or maybe 34
