Are some people naturally unlucky?

You can be inherently lucky/unlucky and are just stuck that way 68
You have a supply of luck- when lucky events occur, you "use up" luck 10
Inherent luck changes over time- you're lucky one day, unlucky another 39
Luck is dependent on karma, faith, or something else controllable 28
No such thing as an inherent force of luck, it's all random chance 150

    Luck is a human construct. We see patterns where there are none. It's probability.

    I just believe in fortunate coincidence. Sometimes, good things happen without the person deserving it, and vice versa. I don't like it when people don't believe that they control their future, and that it's Gods plan, down to horoscopes etc or other people.

      That is SO not true. Im liked by alot of people and lots of people have actually TOLD me I have a great personality. Ive had the worse childhood it ran through my adolescence and into my adulthood. Arrested at 17, arrested at 21 both cause of gulability. My dads kids are all successful, I can't even go to school. in one week my husband got arrested,my bumper got hit by a truck,i get locked out of my truck and end up paying money I dont have on a locksmith then get lost on my way to my sisters house. We moved to be closer to my husbands job, now hes locked up back home and im stuck in a city I dont know.

    In games like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, 'Luck' is something people either have or don't. :D

    In real life, luck is arbitrary. However, you can perceive yourself to be luckier when you have a positive attitude.

    If you don't think you're lucky, I want you to look around your room. the ancient pharaohs couldn't even dream about the luxury we have today, though a lot of people envied them.

    In fact, the fact that you're alive right now, clothed and fed, means you're a very lucky person. :)

    I voted that it changes over time. Some days are just so much luckier than others.

    I don't believe in luck but I do believe some people have and create a mindset in which they feel like they always have bad luck

    I believe in the RNG.

    There is no such thing as luck, and no such thing as karma. There are only unrelated coincidences.

    My mother is extremely unlucky when it comes to buying anything. For example, she bought a jumper that had no hole for the neck!! She got home with 2 left shoes in the box. There are hundreds of examples...

    As we all know this, we ask her to lift an item, eg. a lightbulb off the shelf (knowing that one won't work) then we life another. She says she missed her calling coz she should've worked in quality control in a factory - guaranteed she would randomly lift every faulty item on the line.

    Regarding karma though - She can be one of the nastiest people you will ever come across in your whole life!!

    In my opinon; there's no such thing as luck. You are the ruler of your own life. You make your decisions and set your own goals. People aren't "unlucky". They just make decisions that aren't good for them and do bad things that come right back at them. You are what you make yourself. Life is what you make it really. You have to stop being lazy, have some faith, and follow your dreams.
