Do you believe in it?

For example, hb8 flakes on you twice in a row, then next thing you know, hb9 is showing high interest.

Or, conversely, you flake on hb7 knowing you aren’t into it, the following week hb9 flakes on you.

Thoughts?

It doesn't work like that, no matter how much it seems like it. So no, I do not believe in it. That type of belief in karma is always sustained with confirmation bias. You don't pay as much attention to when it doesn't go the way you believe as you do when it happens.

The actual concept of karma seems to be too complex for most people to actually understand. It is a thing, but it has to follow causality like everything else. There's literally no possible link between the supposed cause and effect in your example, so it must be mere coincidence. You can experience coincidences that may strengthen your (incorrect) beliefs and it may not even be rare, but if you can't see a physically possible and logical link between cause and effect then it's best to leave it at that without any assumptions.

Better to say "I don't know" than to let false beliefs guide your life, stay real.
