AIBU to worry about the evil eye after mentioning my child's success?

[Sahiba2024]

I accidently mentioned a success of one of my kids in front of relatives and i had a sleepless night worrying i opened DC up to evil eye. I feel like it happened with them before when his educational successes were shared and then things went wrong. I am from a south eastern culture where this thinking is more prevalent but wondered if others beleived in the concep or have experoence

To add: if you think it’s about social cohesion etc, being aware of the evil eye/what might stir it up can just make you think that not everyone has the chance to enjoy good fortune (tbh most of us have a mix of good & bad), so more positively it can encourage you to be compassionate in what you say/sensitive to others
