What is Lucky Girl syndrome, this new method that is all the rage on Tik Tok?

Essentially you tell yourself that everything just works out for you and that you are the luckiest person with phrases like ‘everything just always works out for me’ or I always get what I want’ and just like that you now have Lucky Girl Syndrome.
