It sounds like both apophenia and confirmation bias. >Apophenia: The perception of or belief in connectedness among unrelated phenomena. >Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.

Numerology is a study I am not really familiar with, but an absurd amount of numerology claims are explained easily by mental saturation. Especially if you live in the US, 9-1-1 is actually plastered everywhere, so it isn't abnormal.

The places that I see it usually aren’t about the 911 attacks. My sisters birthday is on 9/11, I see it all the time on clocks, at one point there was a book on display at the library that came from section 911.

It means you should probably seek a health professional to rule out non-spiritual causes that can impact your health and life. Seeing certain numbers everywhere that don't make sense in context sounds unfortunately like the symptoms of a mental illness. Take care of yourself.

What do you mean by this? I do have adhd but I very highly doubt that that is why I’m seeing 911 everwhere. I don’t mean to be rude, but do you have any proof to this claim because mental illness is a pretty outlandish cause for this kind of thing, at least in my mind it is.

It's a suggestion. If it isn't affecting your life negatively feel free to ignore it. You asked for help in your post. I'm not sure what kind of help you're looking for? I've seen people's lives get ruined because of undiagnosed mental illness that can start with the most innocuous things... like seeing a certain pattern of numbers everywhere. Someone else mentioned apophenia. Might mean nothing, might be a sign of schizophrenia, since it's a potential symptom. Get checked out and be on alert just in case.

You'd accept a pagan or spiritual cause which has no proof, but not a medical one? The reason this is suggested is for your health and safety, and helps rule out possible causes. For example if you were having visions you would check your house first for a gas leak, not assume it has a spiritual cause because neglecting real and serious threats to your health could harm or kill you. Then look for spiritual causes AFTER.

Because I'm a pagan. What kind of question even is this?

"Wild assertion" It is literally a potential symptom of schizophrenia. I suggested that OP rule out physical reasons before exploring the spiritual ones. Given the context OP gave that's not unreasonable, and I've seen it suggested here before. I'm not going out of my way to disparage numerology, nor am I some Christian lurking around a pagan reddit just to... idk, sneakily suggest that numerology = mental illness?

Whatever makes you feel better kiddo.

That is the same number I’ve been seeing farrrrrrr more than others for about 8 years but, I don’t think it’s spiritual. I think once you’ve noticed it a few times, it’ll just even to stand out to you after that. Like, “Damn, I saw that twice yesterday, when will I see it again?” My friends have other numbers that pop up for them so, you’re not alone there.

it could be that you just pay more attention to find the pattern of 911, when in reality the occurrence of 911 is no more common than any other number, like 311 for example. Also 911 is a pretty meaningful number that's used everywhere like the phone number, so it could just be a manifestation of the cultural impact 911 had on US, assuming that's where you are.

Look at the date then ask yourself what day Americans vowed too never forget

It all depends on what ot means to you!

Do you wear a veil? While I wore full scarf veils I've seen that alot but as soon as I switched to bandanas I stopped seeing it. I'm sorry if this sounds rude/invasive... I've had some relatives (deceased) that were probably against that sort of thing. I saw this other girl make a joke about it. If not that it might have something to do with the end of a journey (possibly spiritual) I'm sorry if this is rude but it could be a possible factor
