tired of it all:
I read through this whole thread again too. Thank you Bella for bumping this up.
My heart goes out to those who were misled or disappointed by psychics. Or ripped off by those pretending to be psychic. I damn sure know how it feels.
A few years ago I had closed my account on Keen and stopped getting readings. I had finally reconnected with an ex but once it happened I realized there was no way I would want him back. I felt disgusted because so many readers had told me we would get back together. I thought they were all wrong. I felt like I had wasted so much time and money. I wrote it all off as bullshit.
But none of that even compared to what I have been through since I went back on Keen. And I've beat myself up about it and wished I had never gone back. I thought what a stupid horrible mistake. After awhile I got extremely paranoid that most of these readers are just scam artists. Nothing was happening like they predicted. Often the total opposite was happening. I had lots of people telling me stuff that contradicted what the readers were telling me. It looked like the readers were all wrong.
Things slowed way down. Over a year went by where I didn't see any signs that this one situation was changing at all. It looked totally dead and done. Then out of nowhere things slowly started moving forward again. It has been exceedingly slow progress. Most people probably would have given up. I wouldn't blame anyone in a similar situation if they just wrote it off and gave up.
I don't know what the eventual outcome will be. I will not make excuses for psychics who made wrong predictions. But I know now that they were not as wrong as I thought they were. What looked like "reality" was not reality at all. And when I took actions based on what I SAW as the reality - it reinforced it and made it seem even more real.
My situation might be different from others. This is the thing, most of us don't want to give out our whole story here. It's easy to read what someone else is saying, read between the lines and then assume you know the whole story.
It's worth remembering that you don't know what you don't know. That's true of other people's lives. But it's true of our own as well. Things may not have unfolded completely yet. There can be more to come.

Whatever works for you, personally, is what you have to go with. If it works for Kicking to turn the page and put this in the past, then so be it. It may not work for others, but it works for her.
All I wish to say or contribute to this thread is that hyperbole is hyperbole. "All psychics are", "none of the psychics were", "predictions never", "every prediction is", "100% of predictions", "0% of the members" - these are all hyperbole. And the truth lies somewhere between. What does that mean? It means that while it may appear that psychic predictions are not accurate to some people, it is simply that - a perception by some people. While it might be that former members have NOT come back to report on predictions there are any number of reasons why. One of those reasons could be that their psychic predictions did not manifest, but it could also be for some other reason.
I'll give you an example. I was married once. To a man that I loved dearly. He cheated. They stole everything and the only way I was able to heal was to blog about that experience. I did so daily. I blogged about as the events unfolded, each event, each incident,. day-by-day for years. Until one day I met Mr. Wonderful and the blog - out there in Cyberspace - remains just as it was that day. I never went back to complete it...although events continued to unfold. Although events turned out in my favor. Why? Because my focus was shifted. It didn't mean that nothing worked out in the end. It meant that I was distracted and by the time my life returned to its normal pace and cadence..."that" episode that prompted me to chronicle each experience became less significant.
Perception is everything. I have learned that while reading with psychics. I maintain that it is highly possible that we control whether psychic predictions manifest or not. I believe, and you are all welcome to disagree if you wish, but I believe that in order to see what so many of these talented 6th sense seers can see, it involves a paradigm shift in our own thinking. If we don't do it, chances are it might not become our reality.
So, if I were to advise anything here and today, I would simply say this. Believe what you wish. Accept the reality that is before your eyes, but remember, what you see today is what is here today. Tomorrow is completely a different case. For those of you who feel in order to debunk psychic readings you must face the cold harsh reality that you face today, please do so. But remember statements like "I know 100% he is not coming back" are simple hyperbole. If psychics have no ability to see the future, then what makes you believe you can see it either? Today's reality is today's and not tomorrow's. Open your mind to the possibility that you also cannot possibly know what tomorrow will bring.
