Is jinxing real????????

Question

You know the word jinxed? Well, how do you get jinxed and is it real or just a madeup story? i am scared like if i talk about something like omg it's not a bad place to be, will i be jinxed? Where did this come from?

Answer 1

1600's Salem I think along with the idea of The Hex which was passed on from a belief  from Germany where there was The Hexenhausen during The 1500's.

As to how to get passed the film The Secret has suggestions.

Answer 2

it just something Friends do they say jinx i think if your really jinxed bad things happen all the time embarrassing stuff happens but it just a saying their no power behind it in-less you believe if you give it power

Answer 3

Jinxes and curses "work" by selective thinking and confirmation bias (along with a bit of a misunderstanding between Causation and Correlation.

There is no evidence to suggest that there is any "real" such thing

The origin is unclear (see link)

Answer 4

Nah, don't get sucked into any of it. The world is as you see it. There are NO myths, ghosts, 'angels' - etc,etc..  only the reality of the physics (science) that explains the 'whys & wherefore's' of earth & life.  

Answer 5

i heard it only works if you believe it
