Superstitious, quirks, beliefs?

Scissors, like a knife should never be given as a gift. Doing that will cut the relationship between giver and recipient

But what if the recipient of the gift is a crafter or a chef?

I'm one of those people who prefers to always sit with their back to a wall. In most any room I sit in I prefer to sit my back to a wall or in a position where I can see everything that's going on around me, unless it's unavoidable or doesn't make much difference (party or something like that). In classrooms I also need to sit in the back and preferably to the side so I'm not surrounded by people on both sides...a bit of claustrophobia/anxiety when it comes to situations like that.

Other than that, I have a chain and pendant that mum gave me (part of it inherited from my grandmother) honouring my maternal grandmother and maternal heritage that I wear for good luck. I don't always wear it since some places I'm just afraid I'll lose it (which I'd never forgive myself for), but always where it in situations where I need more confidence. Both my maternal grandmother and grandfather were people I looked up to and they both took care of me as a kid, so remembering them after their death is important to me. I find remembering them and my maternal heritage boosts my confidence in situations that are critical in achieving goals/becoming the kind of person I want to be.

To dream of an occupational direction you should take, place your workshoes under the foot of your bed before going to sleep.

For good luck, spit in your right shoe before putting it on.

Trouble comes in threes

I can't stand that I believe this. Whenever something bad happens I start looking for the next two bad things to happen. Once those two are identified I can carry on peacefully.

Help.

Does anyone know another superstition or spell I can use to counter this one?

Seriously. I am trapped.

I have quirks....but didn't realize until reading this thread that I have no superstitions at all.
