1. You sneeze randomly.
If you’re not sick and don’t have allergies but suffer a random sneeze attack, it may be because someone is thinking about you.

2. You feel a burning sensation in your ears.
Often, your body reacts to things without you having any conscious idea of why.

3. You get random hiccups.
A Russian superstition claims that a random hiccup attack means that someone is thinking about you.

So not only do you know that someone is thinking about you, you’ll also know who that person is by the time your hiccups go away.

9. A butterfly lands on you.

12. They randomly send you a message on social media.
This is a fairly obvious sign that someone is thinking about you but one that shouldn’t be overlooked.
If you open your DMs to find that someone sent you a meme, it means they not only thought about you when they scrolled by that particular post but also felt strongly enough about you to send it to you.
13. You think of them out of nowhere.
If this is someone you haven’t had contact with in a while but you suddenly find that they’re on your mind, chances are it’s because they’re thinking about you, too.

If you find that you keep seeing a specific sequence of numbers as you go about your day, it may be a sign that someone is thinking about you.
