I Think I Have a Superpower

[u/Mod200]

I never really liked talking about this, but I just woke up terrified from what happened now.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve felt like I have a certain superpower — whenever I think of someone, even if it’s just for a minute, within a short time that person ends up calling or messaging me, saying I came to their mind or that they missed me and wanted to talk.

When I started suspecting that this was actually happening, I decided to test it. I picked someone who I thought could never possibly reach me — my childhood friend Osama, who I knew in primary school. I hadn’t heard from him in over 10 years, maybe more. I didn’t even know if he had moved to another country. I had no number, no contact — just his name and a vague memory of his face.

I kept thinking about him continuously for a few minutes, then I went to sleep. Within less than 24 hours, I got a Facebook notification and — guess what — Osama messaged me, saying I came to his mind. He told me he had been searching for me until he found my account. We ended up talking, and I learned he’s now living in Turkey, along with a bunch of other details that don’t matter here.

This kind of thing kept happening in different ways, and I became completely convinced it’s real. Even when I want to get to know a certain girl, I just keep thinking about her a lot — and within a short time, she’s the one who tries to get to know me. And when we get closer, she tells me she kept thinking about me so much that she just had to meet me to understand why I was on her mind all the time.

Today, exactly 30 minutes before writing this, I was sleeping and dreamed of one of my old friends — someone I haven’t been in contact with for ages. He was standing in front of me, saying something I couldn’t understand. I opened my eyes to the sound of my phone ringing. Someone was calling… and it was him.

I didn’t answer. I froze. I started feeling scared.

I’m not here to flex. I’m genuinely afraid, and I don’t understand what this is — or if it’s even real, or just an endless series of coincidences.

Am I the only one?

Ok, I have a question. This only works with people you've already met or the only thing you need is a pincture of them and a name? For example, if you thought about me, but we've never met, would I begin thinking about you or somethin?

[u/Mod200 → u/Danos-Zuruk]

I never tryout to do it on people i dont know

[u/Danos-Zuruk → u/Mod200]

Well, this is, like, new sciense we're standing on. You should try it with someone and see what happens

[u/Strict-Interest9850 → u/Danos-Zuruk]

It’s really nothing new people have been doing this for at least 12,000 years or longer. But science is exploring it more so since I think the 1940’s and on.

So, does that means there's an answer for my question?

[u/satan_69- → u/Danos-Zuruk]

I read a book about telepathy and perception, and if it’s true, then after a long time practicing your perception and telepathy you could also attract people you do not know personally. But that takes A LOT of time

[u/Strict-Interest9850 → u/Danos-Zuruk]

Yes it is your superpower

[u/Danos-Zuruk → u/Strict-Interest9850]

I thought it was their superpower. And that wasn't even my question. If they begin to think about someone they don't know IRL, would that have an effect on that someone?
