How Can You Tell When Someone’s Thinking About You?

You think about them constantly.

If they’re always on their mind, you’re probably on theirs too. Say you’re walking down the hall on your way to class when they suddenly and randomly come to mind. You haven’t seen anything that reminds you of them—you just start thinking about them. This could be because they’re also thinking about you. Take a chance and send them a quick text saying, “Hey!” You never know. It may just be the push they need to let you know how they feel. Reader Poll: We asked 340 wikiHow readers, and 67% agreed the surest sign of developing deeper feelings for someone is constantly thinking about them and fantasizing about being together.

You dream about them.

You’re likely on their mind if you have sweet dreams about them. While many psychologists theorize that dreams are connected to memory, many new age experts argue that dreams are bridges between the real and spiritual worlds. If they show up in your dreams more than once, it may be because their spirit is calling out to yours or you’ve both had the same dream. Call them up and see if they remember last night’s dream. If they don’t recall their dream, oh well! Use this as an opportunity to strike up a conversation.

Your cheeks flush.

Tingly and hot cheeks could be a sign you’re in someone’s thoughts. Does your face suddenly feel hot without rhyme or reason? If so, it may be because someone’s thinking of you. Unexpected emotions are a telling psychic sign that energies have shifted, and a bout of hotness may be because you’re being thought of fondly. Shoot your shot with your crush if this happens. Who knows? If you’re on their mind, it may be the perfect chance to tell them how you feel.

You get goosebumps.

A sudden chill may reflect another’s thoughts. If you’re minding your own business and suddenly get goosebumps along your arms or legs, it may be a sign that you’re on someone’s mind. Perhaps they’re thinking of a recent memory or fantasizing about you. Either way, their energy is transferring to you. Goosebumps are a natural occurrence that can happen when you’re scared, shocked, aroused, cold, creeped out, or excited.

Your ears start ringing.

Psychics say that when your ears ring someone’s thinking of you. So, have your ears been ringing without cause lately? If you listen closely enough, you may be able to hear what they’re thinking. Spiritually, when you experience ringing in your right ear, your guardian angels are sending you a positive message. On the other hand, ringing in your left ear could be a warning message. Stop persistent ear ringing or tinnitus by relaxing your jaw muscles or taking over-the-counter medications.

Your eye twitches.

A random eye twitch may happen because you’re on someone’s mind. A common superstition is that you've crossed someone's mind if your eye twitches without cause or reason. Some believe that when your right eye twitches, you’re being thought of positively, while a left eye twitch is from negative thoughts. Keep in mind if eye twitches are normal for you. For instance, if you experience frequent allergies or muscle spasms, this psychic sign may just be a superstition.

You get the hiccups.

Sudden hiccups are often a sign that someone’s thinking of you. While hiccups can naturally occur because you’ve eaten or spoken too fast, they can also be a spiritual sign that you’re being thought of. So, if you get the hiccups out of the blue, chances are you’re on someone’s mind. Consider what you’re doing when you get the hiccups. Were you eating, drinking, or talking? If you were doing nothing that could naturally cause hiccups, you might have caught them spiritually. Get rid of your hiccups by breathing into a paper bag, pulling your knees close to your chest, sipping cold water, or holding your breath.

You start sneezing.

A sudden sneezing fit could be a sign you’re on their mind. In Asian cultures, there’s a superstition that sneezing repeatedly signifies that someone’s thinking of you. One sneeze means the thought is positive, while 2 sneezes may signify a negative thought. So, if you suddenly get an itchy nose or can’t stop sneezing, it may be because your crush has you on their mind. Consider your surroundings before you jump to conclusions. For instance, are you prone to sneezing when you step into the sun? Is the pollen count high today? Does someone have a strong perfume on? Cancel out any possibilities before going to the spiritual.

You have indigestion.

Discomfort while eating might occur if someone’s thinking about you. Were you drinking or eating and suddenly felt like you couldn’t swallow, or things weren’t sitting right in your stomach? If so, it may be because someone special is thinking about you right now. Take a moment to check your surroundings. If everything seems okay and you don’t normally experience indigestion, it’s most likely a psychic sign.

Your paths cross.

Bumping into someone randomly may not be a coincidence. Chances are, if you constantly see your crush out and about, it’s because you’re on their mind. Your energies are aligned—perhaps you’re even twin flames! Take this as an opportunity to ask them out. See if they’d like to meet up and chat sometime—they may say yes! Want to know if you’re twin flames? Take our quiz to find out if you’ve met your twin flame yet.

You feel their energy.

Empaths might be able to feel their crush’s emotions. Believe it or not, emotional energy is powerful and can change the tension in a room. If you suddenly feel a wave of happiness, it may be because someone who likes you is thinking about you. What’s an empath, you ask? Empaths feel what other people are feeling and can absorb those emotions, experiencing them for themselves. If you’re not an empath, work on tapping into surrounding energies by meditating and being mindful of your surroundings.

You come across a white feather.

White feathers are spiritual signs that an angel is near. Many believe that spotting a white feather is a message from a guardian angel. Maybe you see a feather floating down from a tree or almost step on one. Either way, your guardian angel is likely saying, “Hey! The person you like is thinking about you—ask them out!” Say a silent prayer to your angel when you spot a white feather. Ask them for guidance when it comes to approaching your crush. They’ve got your back—you can do this.

A butterfly lands on you.

Butterflies can carry messages from your loved ones. In many cultures, butterflies are symbolic figures that carry energy from one person to another. So, if a butterfly suddenly gives you a visit, it may be because a deceased loved one or living crush is thinking about you. Make a wish when a butterfly lands on you. For instance, you may wish for your crush to notice you or ask you out. Who knows? Your wish may just come true!

Their name pops up randomly.

Constantly hearing their name is a sign you're on their mind. Maybe you’re grocery shopping or walking down the school hallway when you hear their name pop up. What you overheard isn’t about the person you know, but it certainly makes you think about them! If this happens multiple times throughout the day, they’re liking thinking about you too. Similarly to this, you may hear a song that has their name in it or reminds you of them and your relationship.

They like your older social media posts.

If they scour your social media, they’re into you. Say you get a random notification from Instagram saying your crush liked a post from years ago. This means they had to scroll through your entire profile to find it—they’re definitely thinking of you! If you like them, like their old posts too, or take your shot and slide into their DMs. This is a great way to say, “Hey! I like you too!”

They send you a message.

A tell-tale sign you’re on their mind is if they text you. The message can be as simple as a “Hey! How’s it going?” or a silly photo of something they did today. Either way, they’re definitely thinking of you. Why else would they pick up their phone, unlock it, hit your contact, and type out a message? Something got you on their mind, and they have to let you know. Don’t be afraid to respond! Let them know what you’re up to and ask them about their day in return, or send them a funny GIF to react to their silly message.
