Why do I keep seeing 22?
Psychologists describe a frequency illusion: once a pattern such as 22 becomes meaningful to you, your attention starts catching it on clocks, receipts and licence plates that you previously ignored. That explanation does not make the experience less useful. Treat each sighting as a prompt to pause and ask what you were thinking about at that moment — the number is a bookmark for your own attention.
What to do when you see 22
- Reach out to one person you have been meaning to reconnect with.
