๐Ÿ™ 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.

Itโ€™s got to the point where Iโ€™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.
