Are you afraid of Friday the 13th?

I've known people who are afraid of this date, but its just another day to me, maybe a bit more fun because I can rib those who ARE afraid of it!

If you believe in God, you believe in His awesome power, you believe that "all things work together for good, to them, that love God", you will not be afraid of Friday the 13th. Because, you believe God is always on your side.

Hiya eileen, I might not believe in it but today in Spain and on the border of Portugal there have been some very serious fires started and not by chance it seems. So I would think it just by chance that things happen on this date. Two Firemen have lost their lives today in one of those Fires. There have been numerous Road Accidents and severe Flooding but again this can happen any time of the year without it being the Thirteenth. Is that King Philip of Spain you mention there? Did he start off the superstition then? I would not be surprised if he did but to me it´s nothing more than that superstition although so many bad things have coincided today.

No i am not afraid of this day and i just realize tomorrow will be that day in my country.

If I think of the 13th of friday, I think of JASON! that guy is so scary! But most of this myths and urban legends about Friday the 13th is just that, myths and urban legends. It's always better to enjoy the day, as you said, it's payday and rest day. =)

I don't think there nothing to feel aghast of the mysterious connotations of the friday the 13th. It is purely superstitious and a mere product of the wild imaginations of our ancestors that were passed on to us. Let us not be guided by this wrong notion because proof of it is wanting. Just believe that every day is a lucky day for us because god has given us another opportunity to enjoy his creations.

I love Friday the 13th. My niece was actually close to being born on Friday the 13th. Anyway, it isn't a bad day, for most people, like me, it's lucky! There are actually a lot of sales this weekend, and the movie I am dying to see came out this weekend. Everyone please go see "SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD!" In theaters now!

I used to be nervous about it, but as nothing bad really happens unless you're in the mindset that you're sure it will, I think it's just superstition. My sister's partner is going over to Afganistan on Friday the 13th, for seven months without leave. I'm praying for him and telling my sister that Friday the 13th is nothing to worry about.

I am not afraid of Friday the 13th....it just another day...the end of the work week and it gives you something to look forward to. It nice to know how it all started though so thanks for sharing!

Hi, eileenleyva. I personally don't like this day. My aunt's Birthday is today. I don't like the number 13 at all. I was thinking about if something bad could happen on this day, my mind wandered off in so many places. I will be staying at home for tonight. I do plan to go out tomorrow morning though.

There is no scientific proof or explanation about this said the Curse of Friday the 13th, so I think I don't believe in this.

I;m never afraid of 13th days. I just ignore the fact that it is said to bring bad luck and all that stuff, and concentrate on what is really important. I for one, had a nice day today. So I believe it's all about how you see life, how much emphasis you put on superstitions and how much you believe it; because if you are superstitious, then you internalize the beliefs and thus, you unconsciously act in an unlucky way.

November 13th of last year was a friday, and my birthday too! Now, imagine that! It's just a matter of how people understand things. Friday the 13th might be that frightening but it's how you interpret it. It's all in the mind.

i'm not afraid of it. in fact, i don't know when but i realized that on that unlucky day i'm actually getting some good luck or i feel lucky. and it's two days prior my birthday so it means i'd get something since its pay day ^_^

Friday the 13th has always been a very good day for me. My husband proposed to me on Friday the 13th and that was 40 years ago and we have been together all that time. I have always had good things happen on Friday the 13th. I am not afraid of it and am not superstitious of it or other silly things like Black Cats or walking under ladders. I have a Black Cat he is an awesome kitty, His name is Syd. He is a sweet cat. I have walked under ladders with nothing bad happening. I think often if people are worried or superstitious like thinking Friday the 13th brings bad luck or something then they invite bad vibes and things to happen more and if think on the positive then good things are more likely to occur. Pay Day hey that is usually a good thing and shopping or relaxing over coffee is also. Have a wonderful day and may it be full of good and fun and wonderful surprise.

Well, a plane crash should be the type of scenario for a Friday the 13th. It feels like the type of thing that bad luck could affect is most likely to be the type of thing humans have the least control over (ie. someone trying to navigate in the sky). Just a few birds can bring a whole plane down. My aunt and uncle is flying today so hopefully, I'm just paranoid.

lol Nope I am not afraid of friday the 13th. Matter a fact it has come about 3 times this year I think, and all 3 of those days have been just normal ones.

This is my husbands "Lucky" day. It is of no significance to me.

I am afraid of Friday the 13th. I am afraid to go out. Like you said, it's a payday, traffic will be terrible! Might as well stay at home. hehehe :-))

I m not afraid on friday 13th ervery one life.we so we have to make our life be very good in nature.we don't afraid any date as well as day
