How Do You Define/Interpret 'Coincidences'?

I don't think it's withdrawals causing anxiety anymore; every time a supposed 'rational' thought comes across my mind, the house creaks. My mind is constantly gutter-littered with "how real is all of this?", and the whole 'we're all the same person/god experiencing the universe itself...and when it feels rational, something is queue'd in the environment.
For christ's sake, a song I've never heard on our radio at work (which loops, but randomized) is playing "when fate has turned on you, and you can never go back" , instant, nausea, and anxiety.
I've gone completely insane. Has anyone else gone completely insane?

When's the last time you tripped on a psychedelic, man?..
Sounds like withdrawal symptoms..
Sometimes though the symptoms lurk for a lifetime.. When that's the case well all we can do is laugh it off and remember it's because we're In sync with the cosmos bro 
You should be happy ur life ain't boring

I'm praying it's still minor withdrawals and that I have a BIG EGO or something.
I still want to know how YOU PEOPLE interpret coincidences.

Often when I trip and I make eye contact with people, I think "am I just staring at myself?" The person I'm looking at is really just me... It's so obvious and even when I'm sober I still feel it and understand it.
There are no such things as coincidences. A coincidence means that an event could have happened another way. Nothing that has ever happened could have happened any other way. Whatever has happened could only have happened that way.
People often think that if you're insane or are on pyschedelics, you can't form coherent thoughts. The truth is you can. You just have to hope you don't.
Reminds me of this quote:
-------------------- “But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.”

I doubt they are permanent.. Just sounds like temporary psychedelic withdrawals.. I know it's hard, but u have to make an effort to stay focused and not over analyze these coincidences of yours.
Life is a trip man, if we spent all our time trying to figure out every little thing and y it is the way it is we'd miss out a whole lot on enjoying it and experiencing it, and learning some real shit. Just my two cents.
How do I interpret these coincidences, u ask?, I don't.. I laugh if off like a crazy person.. Jk they're fun, sometimes they make me smile.

Coincidences are when multiple things happen at the same time. I interpret them as distinct events and note that they occurred at around the same time.

hard question. the first thing that comes to mind:
conciousness = the ability for something to realise that it is essentially separate from the rest of the universe
probably completely wrong, but if you put me on the spot thats the answer i'd give
completely misread the thread title. oh well.
i have nothing to say about coincidences even though ive had delusion about them before that lead to hospitalization.
dont feel like typing out a bunch of paragraphs and getting into a whole thing thats barely related to the topic though.

Good input. I'm not done forever with the site by the way.

I'm trying to quit my OCD. Like zZZz says, stop trying to over-analyze things, which could be the hardest thing to do since I've been doing it as long as I can remember.

listen. When people say "all is one", they usually say it because it sounds comforting, spiritual, and compassionate. They often don't realize what it literally means.
You've realized that we are literally all one. You actually feel it instead of seeing it as just a concept or an idea. You understand it emotionally.
I don't see what the problem is. Are you intimated because this feeling is unfamiliar and new to you?

I do not believe in coincidences. Interesting to see how this affects my life, and my choices.

healing said: Dude. This is the internet. You are legally required to go on a longwinded tangent.
since more than one person asked, ill try to sum it up.(and ill post a link to my original post about it that can explain in part why i was thinking this way)
this post has more to do with "delusional coincidences in your mind" than real life coincidences that everyone else around you will recognize.
certain things became profoundly coincidental to me after having a mental breakdown while working out of town on a very cold, miserable electronics/radar army depot in Tobyhanna, northeast PA.
most of my decent into madness is explained in the following link. ill post a few short examples: i was certain that i was being framed. i noticed coworkers following me around and watching me(which actually happened, because it was obvious i was seriously tripping on something, or something was terribly wrong with me. i couldnt do my job but my fellows stuck with it as long as they could)
i was asked by a guy if i knew anything about how someone could fake-dial 911 to his house. i have a tattoo related to hacker culture so i instantly thought he was basically blaming me and trying to get an accusation. this was what kick-started it. that along with the fact that someone i was working with had the tendancy to spit whenever someone said something stupid, which i constantly do. i became convinced everyone was speaking in code and body language and building a giant conspiracy against me.
i was convinced i was being watched and that my phone was as well, at all times. i began not working at all, just smoking and searching for random things on my phone to "confuse" my pursuers
im going to interrupt myself here and basically abandon this post, cause again, too much story just too many small interactions with people that i viewed as significant to explain why i fell into a delusional pit of seeing coincidences everywhere. im honestly confusing myself by trying to piece it all back together coherently
when your delusional, everything is a coincidence(or not a coincidence and pre-arranged depending on how you look at it). i tried to explain myself but honestly i feel im rambling and im incapable of actually relating my psychotic experience with people, especially by such a simple method as "text"
this is the post i mentioned earlier. again, its not really comprehensive of my situation but you can probably get the gist(that i was delusional AF)
