What is the latest TikTok trend ‘lucky girl syndrome’?

TikTokers all over the world swear by a straightforward strategy to attract luck into their life, and it’s as simple as just having faith that good things will occur.

This method, often known as the Lucky Girl Syndrome, has frequently been commended for improving people’s lives “overnight.”

“I get the most insane opportunities thrown at me out of nowhere,” the TikToker said, “There’s literally no better way to explain it than it feels like the odds are completely in my favor.”

People have attributed the approach, which in theory is comparable to “manifesting” – the notion that by thinking, believing, and acting in a positive, aspirational way you may have everything and everything you want – to job successes, romantic adventures, and other personal victories.

The phrase “lucky girl syndrome” was first used in 2022, but it was only more recently that it started trending on social media, thanks to a video shared by Laura Galebe (@lauragalebe), who described herself as “one of the luckiest people” she knows.

This type of thinking sets people up for disappointment, according to several users of the video, which has received over 3 million views. Other users simply said that Galebe was insane. Despite the criticism, Galebe maintains her “delusion.”
