Never tell people these things to avoid 'buri nazar'

Keep these thing to yourself

Believe it or not, the evil eye or ‘buri nazar’ does exist. If we give it a practical twist, people love sabotaging the good things happening in your life if you reveal it all. There are certain things that must never be shared with others. So here are 6 things that you must never tell people if you want to avoid bad luck.

2/7

Your plans

You should never reveal your plans until close to completion. This is a piece of advice not only to avoid bad luck but also to save your plan from being sabotaged by people who envy you. Many people have a habit of passing negative comments as well and that psychologically affects your conscience.

3/7

Your weakness

You must never reveal your weakness to people at random because people with malice in their hearts may use it against you when least expected. Be very careful of what you say to others.

4/7

Your failure

It is very bold and positive of you to be able to talk about your failures because that is acceptance. However, people tend to judge you easily and your failure will deem you in totality as a failure.

5/7

Your big move

Just like your plans, keep your big move a secret. Move in silence, take action, and shock people with your results. No one will get that time to jinx your progress and the truth is that the feeling after seeing shocked reactions gives you a different kind of high.

6/7

Your secrets

Please don’t do that. No one reveals their darkest to sweetest secrets. It is called a secret for a reason. It is important to understand that your secret may become fodder for gossip by others. Not everyone is as receptive as you. It may just spread like wildfire or be abused by someone.

7/7

Your income

No matter how close to your heart that person is, your income is your business and no one else’. Rich or not, your income is very personal. Keep them wondering if some ill-mannered people are asking you about your income.
