Why is my luck always so bad?

Question

Now let's start out with this. Sometimes, I do feel truly cursed. I am a semi-religious person, I pray and thank God whenever good things happen for me but I don't pray to him regularly. Now, let's get started with my bad luck:
I play luck games for fun all the time. I always get myself into a good position, and then I lose because of my luck to the smallest possible team maybe it's one card he can't have or i can't miss or whatever. And of course, he has the card or I miss. (usually money's on the line)
I am a smart person, I believe. I applied for a top school as one of the top i guess you could say, "prospects" and the lottery screws me over.
My cousin ends up friends with someone I really hate.
I win a contest and then a random person points out the slightest non traditional thing done, and they have to reselect.
Girls have liked me when I didn't like them, and when I start to like them, they're no longer interested.
I have a competition to win some good money and right when i have to compute the final step on a calculator, it dies.
I have tons of friends who usually stay after school. The one time I desperately need an important favor done, None of my friends are there except my unreliable friend who can't do anything (not friends anymore)
So why am I so unlucky? Am I just cursed? Do I have a bad connection with God causing this? I honestly don't think I'm setting myself up for these bad things. I always seem to do most things right and the worst thing possible happens at the last second.

Answer 1

There is no such thing as luck. Stuff happens. We percieve that stuff as good or bad depending how it affects us. If we like the outcome, we call it good luck. If we don't, we call it bad luck.



But there was no grand design that some little school lottery or who your cousin dates was personally set up to upset you.



There is such a thing as focusing on the negative, though, and it sounds like that is more likely your problem.

I have a very, VERY similar case to you. Whenever chance is involved, and the odds are even very heavily in my favor, I end up at the *** end of it.



From experience, I realize that luck is more of a condition than a series of random occurrences. I have known people (one in particular) that is completely opposite. He cruises through life with his luck, and regardless of the lack of effort he puts in to anything whatsoever, he always wakes up with a cupcake in his lap.



Luck plays favorites and least favorites, and I can only guess that it's sheer luck that decides who gets the disfavor and who gets the favor

Because God is protecting you from more unlucky something, you're not cursed, just blessed, you're not unlucky, it's just not your day, you don't have a bad connection, just a beautiful one, you're more luckier than I am... You just have to be patient... remember what Regionous quotes say? It says that only trust God and everything I'll be ok... I'm not that regionous.... And now, I'm jealous X3

Ryan. You make your own luck in this world. Be confident and believe in yourself. As soon as you realise what you are capable of if you only believe in yourself you'll be amazed at the results. And stop believing in a God, trust me it has stopped believing in us.
