Galebe attributed his success to “being delusional” and thinking that “good things are always happening to him”. “I really consider myself one of the luckiest people I know,” she said.
Galebe isn’t sure exactly where she started thinking this way, but she firmly believes that the odds are always in her favor.
‘For as long as I can remember, I’ve always made it a point to tell everyone, “I’m so lucky.” I always expect great things to happen to me, and they do,” she insisted. “Nothing ever goes my way, and if it doesn’t go exactly my way, then something better comes after that.”
Galebe regularly tells herself that “great things always happen to me unexpectedly,” but noted that her luck didn’t change until she he ‘genuinely believed’ what he was saying.
‘The secret is to assume it and believe it before the concrete proof appears. BE DELUSIONOUS,’ she added in the caption.
The #luckygirlsyndrome hashtag has more than 42 million views on TikTok, where several users have posted videos about their own experiences with the concept.

A day or two later, one of their roommates came up to them and told them that they should take the rooms downstairs as they wanted.
“It was literally just an experiment. We thought, ‘Let’s see if it works,’ and it literally works,’ they agreed. Try it and you will see.

Lucky girl syndrome is essentially an old manifestation concept with a new name. Many have compared it to the law of assumption, a theory that whatever you assume to be true will become your reality.
Author and mystic Neville Goddard, a pioneer in the law of assumption, believed that people could change their lives changing your feelings.
Success stories of lucky girl syndrome on TikTok are merely anecdotal, but some experts say adding an extra dose of positivity to your day has benefits.
Hypnotherapist Laurnie Wilson (@laurnie.wilson) pointed out in his video that the lucky girl syndrome and the law of assumption is ‘self-hypnosis’.
Hypnotherapist Laurnie Wilson explained that if you say something to yourself repeatedly and have a feeling attached to it, you can create new neural pathways in your brain.
Clinical psychology researcher Katina Bajaj cited psychologist Dr. Barbara Fredrickson’s “broaden and build” theory that positive emotions can broaden attention
“Experiencing a positive emotion literally broadens our perspective and changes the way we see the world,” he said.
He explained that if you say something to yourself repeatedly and have a feeling associated with it, you can create new neural pathways in your brain that will then change your behavior.
Clinical psychology researcher Katina Bajaj (@katina.bajaj) also shared the scientific reason why he agrees with the concept of trend.
“There’s a difference between how positive and negative emotions are encoded in our brains, and more importantly, there’s a big difference in how they impact our emotions long afterward,” he said.
He cited psychologist Dr. Barbara Fredrickson’s “broaden and build” theory that positive emotions can broaden attention.
‘[It] suggests that when we experience a positive emotion such as joy, gratitude, [or] love, it sends our brain on a positive upward spiral,’ he explained. ‘We seek or search for resources that allow us to feel more positive and notice other good things happening in our lives.
That is the basis of the lucky girl syndrome. Experiencing a positive emotion literally broadens our perspective and changes the way we see the world.’
