Anti-Wishes: The Universe Has Reading Problems – Manifestation Tricks & Ironic Spirituality Under the Law of Attraction

So, apparently this old forgotten trick is making a comeback again — like low-rise jeans or another full moon crisis. It’s called anti-wishes. Yeah.

You basically write what you want… but backwards.

Instead of “I got a promotion,” you write: “I didn’t get a promotion. ”Instead of “I went to the sea,” it’s “I didn’t go to the sea. ”You get the idea.

The logic behind it? Apparently, the Universe has reading problems and doesn’t see the word not. So, if you say I didn’t buy a new car, the Universe is like “awww sweetie, here you go,” and boom — new car.

For some people it actually works, in this weird, messed-up, backwards kind of way. Like, Universe is drunk but generous.

I know, it sounds ridiculous. But I tried it. Of course I did. Curiosity is my toxic trait.

Twelve anti-wishes. Nothing serious — just small stuff to test it out.

And here’s the funny part — some of them worked. Not all, but enough to make me question my sanity. It’s like the Universe saw my list and went, “Oh, you didn’t want it? Perfect timing, take two.”

Apparently, when you write like that, you trick your own brain into relaxing. You stop clinging to the desire. You stop begging the sky for attention. It’s like you whisper, “yeah whatever, didn’t get it anyway, ”and boom — energy clears, things shift, and life starts delivering.

Still, it’s not a universal hack. You try writing I didn’t recover or I never found love — and congratulations, now you’re just sad. This trick is only for light stuff, funny stuff, small things that don’t wreck your mood.

So yeah. The “anti-wish” thing works —for some people, sometimes, in a totally unscientific, slightly dumb, but strangely magical way.

Basically, the Universe has no sense of grammar, and somehow, that’s working in our favor.
