If you believe in superstitions, then your Paraskevidekatriaphobia is justified. You can also make fun of your phobia! Taking your fears less seriously makes them less intimidating.

On the brighter side, Paraskevidekatria is a lucky day for some people. Just ask superstar Taylor Swift whose lucky number is 13 and she loves cats! She celebrates her birthday on December 13 and always wins at award shows if seats in row 13 or row M (the 13th letter in the alphabet).

If you are having a bad day on Paraskevidekatria, just remember it could have happened on any day. If you do not believe in something, it rarely affects you. Remain positive!

Carry out your normal activities because bad luck can befall you any day of the month. Keep in mind that the weekend is finally here and nothing bad will happen.

Be yourself, today is just another day falling on the 13th and tomorrow will be Saturday the 14th. But there is always next year!

Do not forget to finish your work on time. There is no Friggatriskaidekaphobia in your boss's dictionary! Losing your job is scarier than expecting bad luck on Friday the 13th. However, remember not to walk under any ladders, break any mirrors, spill any salt, or walk by any black cats!

The fear of Friday the 13th affects everyone, whether religious or non-believers. Even influential people have a fear of the day, the famous one being President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who never travelled on date 13 and refrained from hosting 13 guests.
