What are your guys' opinion/what can you tell me about curses? Like the ones that trickle down a family bloodline? I'm normally a skeptic, but I'm beginning to wonder...

My family has ome pretty shady history. My great grandfather and his brother apparently had mob ties and left Italy because his brother had killed someone. They settled in Africa and began working in the jewelry business (I can only imagine the shadiness involved there). They then came to American, my great grandfather had 13 kids, and now we have a huge Italian upstate NY family.

I've always seemed to have just terrible luck. Particularly with small things. Everything I own break very quickly, and new things I buy will have some problem with them straight out of the box. I know everyone says this, but it's actually uncanny with me. It's a joke among all my friends that anything I touch will only half-work particularly anything electronic. Also, anyone who gets to know me seems to independently mention that I have bad luck. I've done OK in life so far (22 - just graduated college, decent social life, no gf but not unable to speak to women) but it seems like I have to work 3x as hard for the same result. And it all seems unbelievably too frequent for the same results.

Basically, am I drawing connections that aren't there? Or are familial curses a thing?
