Do people here have more bad luck than good luck? Is this have to do with Aspergers?

I feel like I have more bad luck than good luck sometimes. I think having autism is like having other disabilities, it's harder to fit-in & adapt to & handle things which causes things to go wrong in life more.

I have good luck with my teeth. No cavities at all.
But my friends make laugh on me because every time I shuffle cards, I get the worst hand.
Generally, when it comes to lotteries or other random things, I get significantly below statistics.

It is not luck, it is the disadvantages of being a small minority.

Some people are cr@p magnets. There's usually nothing very special, unique or different about those people except if something can go wrong for them, it does. It tends to be outrageous or hard to believe stuff that keeps going bad but everything just goes wrong for them.

I wouldn't consider myself particularly "lucky." I think that word implies just chance alone. I don't play games of chance since I'm very bad at them. I consider myself fortunate in a lot of ways. I haven't attained full time employment because I lack direct experience with the public, a situation I hope to remedy. However, I have been more fortunate than most people here, some of whom have serious health problems. I at least have that going for me. I need to do certain things to stay that way, but I can do them.

I think with regard to outcomes, I about break even. In other words, you win some, you lose some.

I try to forget about the losses and enjoy the wins. Like, I was happy with how the elections went earlier this month. I think it's important to enjoy, reflect, gloat, and just be happy when you have a win.
