‘We Meet Twice’ Theory

Everything To Know About The 'We Meet People Twice' Theory
What Is The ‘We Meet People Twice’ Theory?
The theory states that if someone is meant to be in your life, you’ll end up meeting them twice as it’s the Universe’s way of giving you a second chance. According to the theory, the first meeting sets the stage and the second one defines the course of your relationship. While it could be applied to any significant relationship in your life, like friendships, the Internet is flooded with anecdotes relating to romantic relationships.

The videos, across social media platforms, have racked up millions of views and have people describing the way they met their SO, first as a chance encounter and then sometime later again which led to the start of their relationships.
Is The ‘We Meet People Twice’ Theory Real?
Like most theories that originate on the Internet, this one doesn’t have a solid scientific base. Many sceptics would also say that for someone to be significant in your life, you’ll have to meet them more than once. However, it does coincide with academic theories that suggest initial meetings often involve surface-level impressions and the second meeting allows for a deeper understanding. People have drawn comparisons to the ‘Invisible String’ theory that’s popular online, another favourite of the soulmate truthers. It claims that your intended soulmate is connected to you by an invisible string that will continue to draw you towards the other time after time.

Another adjacent explanation could be the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon Also known as the ‘frequency illusion’, the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon is a cognitive bias in which someone becomes aware of a new concept or word and then seems to encounter it everywhere. So the reason why ‘We meet people twice’ theorists feel special upon seeing someone and then meeting them again could be because our brains are designed to recognise patterns. So this could be psychology and not some mystical force, like fate, at play.
So, do you believe that the Universe is orchestrating your life’s trajectory or is it just your brain falling back on recognisable patterns?
