Publish Not your original work? Add source My grandma often used to repeat the saying, "Man plans, God laughs." Whether or not you're religious, I think we can agree that life can be stranger than fiction. Just when we think we have it all figured out, the universe plays a trick, reminding us that nothing is guaranteed. Interested in these strange occurrences, Twitter user Naomi (@AMythicWitch) asked other people on the platform to share their personal stories that sound too wild to be true. The request immediately went viral, and everyone started describing the weirdest experiences they've had. We collected the most memorable ones and even managed to get in touch with Naomi, so continue scrolling to read about those crazy moments, and don't miss out on the talk we had with the author of the thread - you can find it between the pictures.

View more comments "I made the tweet because I just launched a new hotline for people to tell their strange and unexplainable stories," Naomi told Bored Panda. "I did not expect famous people like Monica Lewinsky to answer! I think once it got picked up by a few high-profile people, it just snowballed." "I actually asked this exact same question a year ago with not even half the amount of engagement. I'm nosy. I love stories! This is how I operate in real life, too. I ask nosy questions and will listen to almost anybody who wants to share their weird life stories," Naomi explained. #3 Andrewgspeedrun Report Final score: 298points POST Anna Te Anna Te Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago And did you? 87 87points reply View More Replies...

View more comments "High strangeness" is something Naomi is especially interested in. In fact, this week, they will be scheduling a Twitter space to explore more stories that made it into their inbox via the Sleepy House Hotline. "A lot of the wildest ones are not statements people want to have attached to their name and public profiles. This is where the juiciest, scariest, most interesting narratives have come through," Naomi explained. "I'm excited to explore some of the anonymous messages with my followers via Twitter spaces! We already have over 200 anonymous texts and voicemails to work with on top of the massive response to the tweet." "The number is 678-321-7962 and the Twitter spaces event will be hosted on my page @amythicwitch," Naomi added. #6 Drama4No Report Final score: 268points POST Babyoda42 (he him) Babyoda42 (he him) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 month ago Oh god…that’s terrifying 101 101points reply View More Replies...

Proper and effective planning, however, mandates taking into consideration the what-ifs that happen when we don't see them coming. "Like so many other human traits, resilience can be woven into the fabric of one's being (nature) and/or it can be learned (nurture)," career and business coach Marjie Terry said. "One's natural disposition may lead them to always look on the bright side or to look for the silver lining. For others, with an accumulation of life experience, they develop a resilience perspective and realize that, as the old saying goes, what doesn't break you makes you stronger. They develop an ability to recognize that it's important to keep going even when life hands you challenge after challenge-they develop perspective." #10 cjl1954 Report Final score: 236points POST Deborah Harris Deborah Harris Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Case was dropped?

View more comments According to Terry, resilience is characterized by positivity and productivity. "A resilient person will maintain a positive outlook on life and continue to believe that. Even when life hands you lemons, there is lemonade to be made. They will continue to present to the world with a positive attitude," she said. "You are much more likely to be accepted and welcomed by every community with which you interact when you present in this way. When people view you favorably, they are more likely to like you and present you with opportunities. Opportunity leads to more positive experiences, which further reinforces one's belief in resilience and their commitment to it." #14 MHPoison1 Report Final score: 201points POST Draco's Dragonfly Draco's Dragonfly Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Charlie as in Charles Manson?

View more comments For those of us who are not naturally resilient, there are three tactics Terry suggests that can help us build this trait. To begin with, there's something she calls a leap of faith or faking it till you make it. "Studies have shown that smiling can make you happier. Being happier will help you feel more positive about your life. This increased positivity is the beginning of resilience." #18 mythosamante Report Final score: 182points POST Lyop Lyop Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago OMG!!!

View more comments The second tactic we can apply is to approach a trying situation from a different perspective. "If you try to view a difficult experience from a different perspective (e.g. spend a few minutes deeply visualizing your favorite childhood experience and then approach your current crisis with the energy and creativity that characterized you in that earlier time in life), you will approach your current predicament with an altered, stronger sense of hope and energy," Terry said. #22 leegiez Report Final score: 146points POST KittyGotClaws KittyGotClaws Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I live in Ireland now...

"Try approaching a challenging situation as if you are the only person in the world who can make it better," Terry said. To do so, ask yourself: if anything is possible right now (divine intervention and magic aside), what three things can I do to improve my circumstances? "You may not be able to take every step at this very moment, but you can start to create a plan that you can execute over time until you have started to create positive change in your life circumstances." As you can see from the tweets, we can't control what happens to us. But we can decide how to respond to it. #26 4daybeetcube Report Final score: 125points POST Uncanny Uncanny Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago "Hello, beets.

Naturally the the teacher assigned me the responsibility of convincing him that this is a good school and that he should transfer here.

In the mid 1990’s, my wife and I took off the week between Christmas and New Year for a vacation road trip. We wound up at the Gettysburg Battle ground memorial the last couple of days. The last day was New Year’s Day and we were going to head home because we worked the next day. It was a but if drizzling rain/sleet mixed as we took one last look around. As we walked up towards the monument where President Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address we saw two other people already there and heading back as we approached. As we passed each other, we looked and recognized them from our hometown and they were even people my wife went to school with. The only four people in that area in the park that morning were from the same small town in Michigan. All unplanned. We hadn’t seen them in years.

“ That’ s How My Family Ended Up In Ohio” 35 Stranger Than Fiction Stories That Actually Happened According To This Viral Twitter Thread
Rokas Laurinavičius andKotryna Brašiškytė
Publish Not your original work? Add source My grandma often used to repeat the saying, "Man plans, God laughs." Whether or not you're religious, I think we can agree that life can be stranger than fiction. Just when we think we have it all figured out, the universe plays a trick, reminding us that nothing is guaranteed. Interested in these strange occurrences, Twitter user Naomi (@AMythicWitch) asked other people on the platform to share their personal stories that sound too wild to be true. The request immediately went viral, and everyone started describing the weirdest experiences they've had. We collected the most memorable ones and even managed to get in touch with Naomi, so continue scrolling to read about those crazy moments, and don't miss out on the talk we had with the author of the thread - you can find it between the pictures.

"I did not expect famous people like Monica Lewinsky to answer! I think once it got picked up by a few high-profile people, it just snowballed." "I actually asked this exact same question a year ago with not even half the amount of engagement. I'm nosy. I love stories! This is how I operate in real life, too. I ask nosy questions and will listen to almost anybody who wants to share their weird life stories," Naomi explained. #3 Andrewgspeedrun Report Final score: 298points POST Anna Te Anna Te Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago And did you? 87 87points reply View More Replies...

In fact, this week, they will be scheduling a Twitter space to explore more stories that made it into their inbox via the Sleepy House Hotline. "A lot of the wildest ones are not statements people want to have attached to their name and public profiles. This is where the juiciest, scariest, most interesting narratives have come through," Naomi explained. "I'm excited to explore some of the anonymous messages with my followers via Twitter spaces! We already have over 200 anonymous texts and voicemails to work with on top of the massive response to the tweet." "The number is 678-321-7962 and the Twitter spaces event will be hosted on my page @amythicwitch," Naomi added. #6 Drama4No Report Final score: 268points POST Babyoda42 (he him) Babyoda42 (he him) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 month ago Oh god…that’s terrifying 101 101points reply View More Replies...

Proper and effective planning, however, mandates taking into consideration the what-ifs that happen when we don't see them coming. "Like so many other human traits, resilience can be woven into the fabric of one's being (nature) and/or it can be learned (nurture)," career and business coach Marjie Terry said. "One's natural disposition may lead them to always look on the bright side or to look for the silver lining. For others, with an accumulation of life experience, they develop a resilience perspective and realize that, as the old saying goes, what doesn't break you makes you stronger. They develop an ability to recognize that it's important to keep going even when life hands you challenge after challenge-they develop perspective." #10 cjl1954 Report Final score: 236points POST Deborah Harris Deborah Harris Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Case was dropped?

View more comments According to Terry, resilience is characterized by positivity and productivity. "A resilient person will maintain a positive outlook on life and continue to believe that. Even when life hands you lemons, there is lemonade to be made. They will continue to present to the world with a positive attitude," she said. "You are much more likely to be accepted and welcomed by every community with which you interact when you present in this way. When people view you favorably, they are more likely to like you and present you with opportunities. Opportunity leads to more positive experiences, which further reinforces one's belief in resilience and their commitment to it." #14 MHPoison1 Report Final score: 201points POST Draco's Dragonfly Draco's Dragonfly Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Charlie as in Charles Manson?

View more comments For those of us who are not naturally resilient, there are three tactics Terry suggests that can help us build this trait. To begin with, there's something she calls a leap of faith or faking it till you make it. "Studies have shown that smiling can make you happier. Being happier will help you feel more positive about your life. This increased positivity is the beginning of resilience." #18 mythosamante Report Final score: 182points POST Lyop Lyop Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago OMG!!!

View more comments The second tactic we can apply is to approach a trying situation from a different perspective. "If you try to view a difficult experience from a different perspective (e.g. spend a few minutes deeply visualizing your favorite childhood experience and then approach your current crisis with the energy and creativity that characterized you in that earlier time in life), you will approach your current predicament with an altered, stronger sense of hope and energy," Terry said. #22 leegiez Report Final score: 146points POST KittyGotClaws KittyGotClaws Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I live in Ireland now...

"Try approaching a challenging situation as if you are the only person in the world who can make it better," Terry said. To do so, ask yourself: if anything is possible right now (divine intervention and magic aside), what three things can I do to improve my circumstances? "You may not be able to take every step at this very moment, but you can start to create a plan that you can execute over time until you have started to create positive change in your life circumstances." As you can see from the tweets, we can't control what happens to us.
