Can clothes somehow absorb good and bad energy from some fortunate or unfortunate events and keep it?
I have a couple of clothes that are definitely 'unhappy'. Though I tried hard not to believe it and even made myself put them on regardless of anything I found they worked every time. I had a tank that I actually wore only twice and both times really bad things happened to my bf which affected our relationship too. I also have a sweater - sad things always happen when it's on me.

Thank you to all who answered my question. Thank you for sharing your views. However, I would like to find out if anyone else has experienced something like that. In the first example I gave the bad things actually happened to my dear one and there was no chance it could be influenced by my mood .

no. but because there has been things that you experienced while wearing them that to you they have a negative aspect. clothing are made from cloth and cloth cannot absorb any type of energy. it's all in your mind. i beleive that there are other clothes you have worn that has had a negative happening when you have worn them, but because these has had a negative affect that was closer to your heart that you beleive they haunted.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, Latin for after this, therefore because of this, is a logical fallacy which assumes or asserts that if one event happens after another, then the first must be the cause of the second. It is often shortened to simply post hoc. Some philosophy books translate the Latin to simply: "If after, then therefore, because", it is also known as multicollinearity, coincidental correlation and false cause. Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a particularly tempting error because temporal sequence appears to be integral to causality — retrocausation, if it actually occurs at all, is something we do not appear to experience. The fallacy lies in coming to a conclusion based only on the order of events, which is not an accurate indicator. That is to say, it is not always true that the first event caused the second event.

Post hoc is similar to affirming the consequent. It can be expressed as follows:

* When A occurs, B occurs.
* Therefore, A causes B.

Examples

1. A rooster always crows prior to sunrise
2. Therefore: the rooster’s crowing causes the sun to rise.

1. Heavier people are found to drink diet sodas or beverages.
2. Therefore, diet beverages induce weight gain.


This line of reasoning is the basis for many superstitious beliefs and magical thinking, connecting two things that have no actual or logical connection. For example, if a person sees a coin on the ground and picks it up, and later receives good news, that person may become convinced that finding the coin resulted in the good news, even though it was a mere coincidence.

No.
The past incidents may have been coincidences, and you remember them because they strike strong feelings in you. For future, don't think of them lucky/unlucky, your outlook will affect the outcome. For example if you keep thinking you will be sad today, you will end up being sad because you have pre-determine yourself to think such.

For the past several years, almost any item of clothing I buy turns out to be jinxed, so much so that, with some of them, anything that I set out to do becomes a failure, and with others become very difficult to achieve. Let me tell you of an incident.
There s a piece of sweater that I bought, and I realised that whenever I wore that sweater I would encounter a lot of problems. But, I still wore that on a night when my parents and sisters were supposed to go to the station to catch a train to another city, where they were going for a few days. I was supposed to drop them in my car, and I was wearing this particular sweater. We were already late, by the time we got out, but I was hoping to drive fast and reach the station before the train leaves. To our horror, the car simply wouldn t start. After trying for 10 or 15 minutes. I gave up and in panic ran to find an auto-rickshaw. I had to walk for about 15 minutes to the rickshaw stand. Almost every rickshaw wallah refused to go. One of them agreed but was charging exorbitantly. As I was taking it to my house to collect my family, I somehow, entered the wrong lane (for the first time in my life), and then got lost in my own colony. The rickshaw wallah finally became angry and left. Suddenly, it seemed impossible that my family would be able to catch their train. It s very difficult to find train reservations in India, and if they were to miss their train, they d not only lose out all the money, but they would not have found another reservation, and they had an important family even to attend. We were all standing and wondering what else we can do. We decided to take a cycle rickshaw to the metro and go to the station through metro (although, it is a long walk from the metro to the station, and my father had trouble walking and changing metros).
Just then I was reminded of the sweater. I ran back to the house, opened all the locks, took out the sweater and changed into another one. When I came out of the house, my sisters had already left on a cycle rickshaw. I took my parents and hired another rickshaw for the metro. This time, there was no problem. On the way to the metro, suddenly I found an empty auto-rickshaw (that was very rare to find on that street), and I asked him if he d take us to the station, and he readily agreed, without overcharging. I immediately took the cab, and reached the metro station, collected my sister and reached caught the train just in the nick of time.

Needless to say, I never wore that sweater again, and gave it away to my uncle.

There is no such thing as lucky or unlucky clothes. However, how you feel in something it can affect your mood.

Nice question. If you saw that one episode of Drake and Josh when Josh had that lucky shirt, it was kinda cool.

It depends on what you believe.
