Eyelid Twitch

My left eyelid has been twitching all morning. It's not a big deal but there is an interesting myth about that twitch. Some older people still believe in it. They say if your eyelid starts twitching that means someone you know far away has mentioned you. The scientist explanation for eyelid twitch which I found on Google is nothing like that of course. The eyelid twitch is caused by fatigue, stress and caffeine. And it may last for a couple of days. Does it happen to you?

@madshadi @xfiacre I get it quite frequently. Very irritating but no-one else notices it and it soon passes. I put it down to stress.

Mine usually will last a few hours and that is annoying enough.

It can be annoying sometimes when the twitch is constant

There's a lot of sayings and perhaps in the past I Tanikka Paulk would joke pertaining to some of the silly expressions. I'm more in tuned now with producing further abundance and seeing a better society become more stabilized.

Its happened to me occasionally and it is annoying. I never heard of the myth about someone mentioning you but I have heard it in relation to ears ringing

I have heard a different myth that eyelid twitching means someone could upset you.Although I do not believe in superstitions.

I wonder where do all those myths originate from. Did one guy make them up and everyone else blindly repeated?

Occasionally I get a twitch in the eyelid but it never lasts for long. It's a bit disconcerting though.
