Near109s

Near109s refers to a group of individuals who often find themselves in close proximity to the number 109, whether in a literal or metaphorical sense. This can manifest in various ways, such as frequently encountering the number 109 in everyday life, such as on license plates, street addresses, or clock readings. It can also extend to a more abstract connection, where individuals feel drawn to or repeatedly think about the number 109. The phenomenon is not formally recognized in any scientific or psychological discipline, and its origins are largely anecdotal.

Some theories, often shared in online communities or informal discussions, suggest that these occurrences might be coincidental or a result of confirmation bias, where individuals are more likely to notice and remember instances of the number 109 once they have become attuned to it. Others propose more esoteric explanations, ranging from synchronicities to personal symbolic meanings attached to the number. The term "Near109s" is primarily used within these communities to identify with others who share similar experiences. There is no universally agreed-upon definition or set of criteria for identifying as a "Near109." It is a self-applied label that denotes a personal experience with the number 109.
