Has anyone ever had a false premonition?

[kraby1]

Hello. This is my first post. Not sure how well I did, but regardless..... I need your help. Long story short I had a premonition of my own death. My vision told me it would happen in 2024. This terrifies me. Can someone please share similar stories of nothing bad happening? And be honest. No lies just to make me feel better.

Please and thank you.

Premonitions are BS.

I'm not lying.

[kraby1]

Thank you for the bold statement. But does anyone have any stories similar to mine? Please. I'm so scared!

I, and other people with anxiety/OCD tendencies have hundreds of examples like that.

You dont have superpowers, you just have anxiety and/or OCD tendencies.

Thank you very much for your story. It helps to know that I'm not alone. I hope that many others can share theirs too.

Seriously, Kraby, what's your scientific grounding for thinking premonitions have any basis in reality?

May I ask why you get stuck on other people's stories and their nunbers?

I don't think I understand the question entirely, but to put it simply, I'm asking if other people with ocd and anxiety have been through the same thing. I honestly don't believe in premonitions, but when I'm anxious it is very easy for my mind to go that direction. I want to prove my anxious mind that this is false without actually waiting 4 years to find out.

I honestly don't believe in premonitions.

So why are you asking silly questions then?

BlueIris is 100% correct in suggesting that pursuing the irrational checking is just validating the anxiety.

If you don't believe in premonitions, there's no need to check.

And if you die before 2024 you won't need to worry about it any more anyway. Coincidence will have kicked in.

I honestly don't know how to respond. On one hand I believe that you are right, by checking it does make it more powerful, but on the other hand if there are people who had a similar story and lived past their premonition, I'd like to use it as a way of proving to my anxious brain that it won't happen the next time it pops into my head. Does that make any sense? The other people's stories would be a tool so that I can convey my anxious brain to stop checking.
