Do you have a number you hate?

Most everyone has a favorite number. Do you have a number you just can't stand? If you do, do you know why that is? I hate the number 8. I have no idea why, maybe because I don't like even numbers in general. But I just can't stand 8s and try to avoid them like some people avoid 13.

I get kind of a bad feeling about all those 4s together too. I would feel worse about 888. lol

I do not like the number 13 because my mom and stepdad both passed away on the 13th. different months and years though but both on the 13th of a month.

Wow that is really odd. And I can see that it would definately be unlucky for you then.

This topic may seem that it only needed a short answer and that is all I can give but actually had me really thinking about it. Result I have a few "lucky" numbers but I can't think of any number I hate. I could say the day I die but I dont know the date yet!!!(LOL)

I know. Most people can tell you their favorite number, but I know a few people that also have a number that they just don't like. Thanks for your comment.

LOL, I personally hate the number 7 is is over rated. I'm sick of seeing Lucky 7. It hasn't brought me an ounce of luck. I love the number 6. And I have absolutely no problem with the number 13. My eldest daughter was born on Friday the 13th in 1988. So, I got to love the number 13.

Seen now I thought friday the 14th was my lucky day but since you had a beutiful gift of a child blessed to you on that day I guess you got me beat on thinking it is your lucky day. It is interesting that you say that LOVE the number 6, did you know that the number six represents, the female aspect, but it also represents LOVE... so I suppose loving number six should be natural.

i cant stand the number 5! ive always thought it looks ugly and well when looking at tarot.. all 5's are bad indications so of course that just made me dislike 5's even more! 13 is said to be unlucky because 13 is a number associated with the goddess. as christianity became larger they started pushing out pagan beliefs concepts ect.. the number 13 was deemed unlucky since it was associated with the goddess which is associated with paganism and hence was 'evil'.

Well now maybe I can give you an idea. LOL Of course it may have nothing to do with my theory. I do not avoid 13, though it is sometimes a challenging one, for some reason Friday the 13th is very lucky day for me. About the number 8, have you ever read Linda Goodman's Star Signs? If not you may want to, in that book she has an entire extra section for the number's 4 and 8. With 8 there is a kind of challenge that goes with it, it doesn't mean it is negative just that sometimes it is going to be an extra struggle to acheive it. In fact just about the time I first got this book, we were getting a house, I told my mom when the problem first started not to worry it was all going to work out but we weren't going to move in until the fall, but it would be before the holidays. Well we were supposed to have the closing in June, we had it lol the first week of November. Then as I was reading the book by Linda Goodman I laughed. Because it mentioned that the 8 has a challenge connected to it. Well sure enough don't you the house address was a number that when added to gether equaled the number 8 it was 350. So maybe this challenge or sometimes struggle to get things or achieve things that may have the number 8 associated with it could be something you didn't even notice consciously but subconsciously your mind did, and you began to dislike the number. As I said the number 8 can be a challenge. Interesting thing is those born on the 4th or 8th of any month will tend to notice that things in their lives keep popping up with the numbers 8 and 4. It happens to those born on the 13th, 17th, 22nd, and 26th as well but to a lesser degree. I think there may be something on this topic on the website www.linda-goodman.com It is a free site, with messages boards on the various topics related to Linda Goodman's books. Astrology, numerology, lexigrams, etc. If you do check out the website, you would want the message boards on Universal codes. This one can give you numerology info. Is there a number I hate? no not really, though when it comes to important things in my life I do try to keep the number 8 out of it. I began telling this kind of thing to the man in my life. He was entering a pool tournament, and when he did, lol every time he was on a table that was either the number 6, or added to 6 he was fine, he won his match fast and easy, every time he was on a table that added to the number 8, he won but it was a real challenge and struggle to do it, just barely doing so, even when it was against a player he should have won against easily. And this was before he realized about the table numbers, he didn't really know about the number thing with the 8 until the tournament was down to 4 players left, out of a field of 50, he was one of the last 4, lol thankfully his last match was on table 3, not one that added to an 8. So he won, and quite a bit of money too. He just had to struggle at times whenever that 8 was involved. I would have thought perhaps it was in his mind, except that I didn't tell him about the numbers and my theory until as I said he was down to the last few players. And by then it was fine, because LOL the number 8 didn't show up. So I don't hate the 8, I just know that often there can be a challenge when it is involved in an achievement you may wish to make. The upside of the number 8 it is equal to having the four elements, and four directions coming together.

I never considered the challenge thing with the number 8. You could be right, I don't like 4s either but not as much as I dislike 8s. I will try to be more consious of it in the future and see if thats whats happening, and even if its not, it still may be a conditioned response from past challenges and I just came to associate with the number. Very good point you brought up. Thank you.

Interesting, since this started with someone saying the number 8, and well 17 / 1 + 7 = 8 I wonder did you notice this when you responded? I answered this post about how the number 8 and to a lesser degree the number 17 might have a challenge to it.

I don't know if it has to do with numerology or superstition. Its just a feeling I get and have heard some other people have it too. It is sort of strange.
