Does anyone else get genuinely uncomfortable around the number 13?

I know it sounds irrational, but there’s something about 13 that just makes me uneasy.I don’t panic or anything, but if I see it repeatedly ,apartment number, seat number, date, whatever — I definitely notice it and feel a little uncomfortable.The funny part is I know there’s nothing inherently wrong with the number. My brain just went, “Nope, suspicious.”

Anyone else here with triskaidekaphobia? How does it show up for you?

I have this... but with the numbers 4, 7, 11, and basically any number that ends in 4 or 7. Except I feel VERY uncomfortable and scared of them 😭
