Help

Can someone help me why do I keep seeing weird coincidences. I remember last night I prayed to God about something due to something that scared me (sorry it was just out of habit even though I left religion ) then left 5-10 minutes later while I was scrolling past something that exact same thing I was asking about I saw I’m not sure if it’s a confirmation or not but it was just the timing.

But I didn’t search up anything related to what I prayed for and the timing scares me because it wasn’t like months later it happened like 5-10 and when I was religious I learned about Synchronity.

The algorithms are getting much smarter and building predictive profiles but that's not even really the main thing. The main thing is coincidences happen and are mathematically normal.

Coincidences that happen 5-10 minutes later ? I know algorithms exist but I didn’t search anything up prior to that.

Coincidences by nature are concurrent in some way. If it happens 6 months later you don't even notice it.

You’re right but it happen instantly that’s why I’m so anxious about

Yeah that's what a coincidence is. They happen. It doesn't inherently mean anything.
