Remember that set of numbers I kept seeing, and you said it's nothing, it just seems worse then it is because I'm looking for it?

Other day, a laptop sent from QVC had ram with those same three numbers.

Today, two Chinese fishing calls, last three digits were the three numbers.

A random Google search about five days ago turns up those three numbers.

All told, I think in a week, those digits popped up at least five times (Counting the Corona page)

What are the odds?

you are in the mirror universe 😄 😄

What you're experiencing is called the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.

Once you notice a pattern, face, name, situation, etc., depending on how your brain processes future stimuli, you'll start noticing it all over the place.

The only way to ground yourself and help yourself feel better about seeing the same thing over and over is to check yourself against the frequency of those things naturally occurring.

For example, you are likely to see hundreds of numbers each day. You just don't notice them. But if you're fixated on a specific 3-digit integer, like you are now, you'll notice it a lot. The first 1,000 positive integers (or 'whole numbers'😉 of the base-10 number system are amazingly common in everyday life. If you start taking note of EVERYWHERE you see them, you will see how common numbers really are.

Take a step back at the phone number you mentioned. A phone number is a set of 10 digits. You are fixated on 3 specific digits in a specific sequence. But what about the other 7 numbers that were NOT in that same sequence? What about other phone numbers you were exposed to during the day but simply didn't notice because you were only noticing that specific 3 number sequence?

Like, right now, on my computer, I can take note of about 25 different sets of numbers. It's all over my screen. The date. The time. Character counts. Page numbers. PostIDs, time stamps from messages, URL numbers, inbox unread messages, etc. You get the idea. Since almost ever last one of those numbers are within the set of all whole numbers less than 1,000, how often will I be able to fixate on exactly 3 digits in a specific sequence even if I can see 10 digit numbers? Quite often. Very often, in fact.

So when your mind gets stuck in the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, check your reality against realistic probabilities of the observed object actually showing up in your everyday experiences.
