upset with psychic reading


Question Posted Thursday April 13 2006, 1:47 am

I am so upset with a psychic reading that I had today. I paid a lot of money- 80 dollars for the reading and it was done over the phone. I only did it because my mother said she's been going to this guy for the last 15 years and that he was very good- and his other testimonials on his website looked promising. Well I asked him if I would end up with the guy that I love- I've been friends with him for a long time. He was really negative and said he did NOT love me- that he thought of me as a fantasy and not reality and he would never commit to me. He told me to cut off contact with him forever- and not to tell him I'm cutting off contact with him or else he'll do anything to be my friend again. I was almost in tears because I feel in my heart that he does love me but is shy. I don't want to cut off all contact with him I think this psychic is nuts. But my mother said how good he is- what should I do? I am so upset!

A good, reputable psychic will never give any negative feedback. They are there to guide you and not give definitive answers. They should certainly never tell you what to do. We are given the freedom of choice and if you feel he has taken away that choice please don't ever have anything to do with this psychic. You must follow what you feel is in your heart and what is right for you. Good Luck.

You came up with one BRILLIANT statement in your query: "...this psychic is nuts."

RIGHT... now, let's take that a step further. YOU are nuts! Your MOTHER is nuts.

Your mother recommended a phone psychic to you? One she's used for 15 years?!? I don't mind being the one to get people to realize how far from Earth they are, but something gives me the feeling that you're in for a culture shock when you and your mother finally (if ever) get a chance to stroll around on good ol' terra firma. I just fear you could have had a couple more toys as a child had your mother's life decisions not been made at a cost of $4.99 a minute. Maybe a couple more hugs too.

You should ask her if your conception was a result of a conversation with Gerald Croiset.

But I digress...

If you really want advice on how to interpret the blatherings of a down-on-his-luck, working-from-home dolt with a copy of "Tarot for Dummies" in front of him, here you go: Why did you call a psychic if you weren't going to believe him?

Is a psychic only good if they tell you what you want to here? If you're going to spend $80 on this idiot, you may as well let him make your decisions for you.

All I can do is give you a cynical, common-sense piece of advice: Be very, very careful about handing over decisions about your life to someone, anyone, else. Ever. Your life, your choices, your instincts.

Presumably this guy has never met you and so despite this claim of psychic abilities (which may or may not be true) cannot possibly hope to know you or your guy better than you do. Psychic or not he's only human and can be wrong.

Personally I'd advise you to shrug of this psychic's reading and never ever contact one again. That whole business is something to be done lightly if at all whereas it sounds like it affects you very strongly and which you set a lot of store by, presumably in part because your mum's so into it.

Your life is yours and frankly no-one knows how it's going to turn out any better than you do. Only way to find out is to live it. x

The amazing thing about life it that we all have this thing called choice.

You can choose to believe the physic or not.

If you don't believe him, you have no problems, but if you do, you still have another choice:
You can choose to stay with your boyfriend or to leave him.

Lets take a look at that choices eh?

If you stay with him, he might choose not to commit.
Slowly you'll come to realize that as he keeps saying 'maybe', or 'not yet', comes up with excuses and shows you that his values and desires aren't the same as yours. You'll trust your own senses and learn that sadly, this guy can't give you what you want.

Now even if you believe the physic you must agree there is a slim chance that your boyfriend will wake up, see the light, realize you are his dream come true and do what he takes to keep you.

If you choose to break up with him and cut him out, especially without an explanation your boyfriend will be understandably upset, desperate to understand and will try to speak to you, help you and find out what is wrong. There is no way the two of you will have a solid relationship after that, effectively fulfilling the physic's prophesy.

It's your life to live. You can choose to make the physic's prophecy true, put your trust in him completely and keep shelling out the money to let him tell you how to lead you life OR you can trust your own heart and your measly five senses, make mistakes, get hurt, learn something, and be a little richer.

Even a real physic isn't going to tell you anything you can't realize on your own if you keep your eyes open, and there are certainly scam artists out there who are hell bent on making you dependant on them and getting rich off your misery. (If he told you that you and your boyfriend where going to live happily ever after and have two kids and a collie you wouldn't have any reason to call him back now would ya?)

I'm a big believer in the paranormal and I do believe some people have psychic abilities.
But this does not mean I believe in psychics.

Most psychics are just people who are in it for the money. They tell people what they want to hear (Usually, not in your case it seems) and usually say things that are pretty univeral to everyone. Sometimes they get it right. Sometimes they don't. But people still place a lot of faith in them because they've heard how "accurate" they can be. When my grandfather died, my Nanna went to a psychic to ask if he was at peace and whether he had any messages. The psychic said he was fine and that he just wanted to tell my Nanna to look after the kids and grandchildren. He then said she had 3 kids (She has 2) and guessed my grandfather was in the war (DUH!) and that he was British. That's basically all she got and she paid 40 bucks for it. But of course, she felt extremely happy afterwards to know he was at peace even though anyone could've told her this. But the fact he claimed to be "psychic" made it seem all the more accurate. People go to them like they're Psychologists and will help them with their problems..

Anywho, don't take any notice of what this guy said to you. If it feels right to you, your intuition is far more important than a random money-making stranger. This guy probably thought he could control some poor girls life by manipulating her with his "ability" Don't listen to him. Don't cut off contact with this guy who you obviously care a lot for just because of what the "psychic" said.

I think psychics are a bunch of crap? Do you honestly think someone can prophesy and tell the future? I highly doubt it. Don't let this guy get to you. Live your life w/ out worrying about this guy. Enjoy him. Don't doubt the love you have for him because of what a guy, that doesn't know either of you, says. I don't know if you are dating the guy that you love, but if you love him, and you two are meant to be, it will happen. You just have to give it time...it is hard to do, I have to do it right now, but everything will work out whether you end up w/ him or not. Good luck...
