When it comes to coincidences, you either believe it or you don’t. Even the scientific community is divided when it comes to this topic. Carl Jung, one of the founders of modern psychology, came up with the theory of synchronicity.
Simply put, Jung believes that coincidences hold significant meaning and that these seemingly unrelated events are actually connected.

Then, there are the skeptics like psychoanalyst and author Dr. Gibb A. Williams. He argues that people tend to find connections, even if there aren’t any. Dr. Williams calls it a “psychological scavenger hunt.”
“You look for pieces to fit the puzzle. The completed pattern is experienced as a synchronicity,” he said, as he also describes synchronicity believers as “junkies craving their next fix.”

Found A Random Guy Who Looks Like Me Waiting For The Subway The Other Day
April Pickett 3 months ago
Yeah, I would get that DNA test. You both look the same, and you're wearing the same jackets (it's been shown that seperated siblings can have similar tastes), both have glasses. Of course, one has an earring the other does not, but still....

AND you both look like Jeff Goldbloom, who saved me once during a very bad psilocybin trip!
Some experts believe you can cultivate coincidences. In an interview with Discover Magazine, psychiatrist Dr. Bernard Beitman explained that this typically happens among religious and spiritual people.
“Those who are more connected with the world around them and those who are seeking meaning — or in distress and searching for signs — are more likely to experience coincidences,” he said.

Connecting with strangers is another way to cultivate coincidences, according to statistician and risk researcher Professor David Spiegelhalter. He says these seemingly serendipitous moments often happen when talking to someone you don’t know, and then you suddenly find out you were born in the same hospital.

Synchronicity is a cheeky little goblin pulling the strings in the background, making things happen that, when they occur together, give up their individuality, and we can only wonder...for example, on two city trips to Rome - years apart to each other - I ran into one of my former teachers, namely my Latin teacher, and both times it happened in the Pantheon...THAT'S what C.G. Jung meant when he was referring to »synchronicity«, my fellow pandas...🤔
