Somewhat Random Thought: "Psychics" completely nutso?
sunshineluv7:
Have you ever wondered if any of these psychics are really not psychic at all but completely nutso? Think the "end of the world" person on the streets in a major city. Totally 100% believes what they are saying is true, but wayyy out of touch with reality.
Or the people who have theories about conspiracies, aliens, etc all that stuff. Like THAT type of person becomes convinced they are psychic and talk to angels/spirits/etc and then charges for it, and the "beauty" of it is that people pay on the spot and not "After it's come true" and give feedback the same way, so ... you rarely if ever found out they're totally full of it.
Haha. I've wondered that a few times. That's why I pretty much only go on recommendations.
Or, it's someone who isn't that nice who just thinks people are desperate suckers, sitting in their living room watching TV on their laptop... keeps chat open... etc.

I think some are excellent intuitives (something anyone can develop-intuition), have general empathy, logical guessers and great wanna-be psychologists and therefore think they're psychics because they can guess a couple of details here and there and make mini-predictions. Fun fact: anyone can speak to their closest girlfriends (if they have decent ones to began with that aren't apathetic) and tell them their situation and I can bet you that those girls can make the same exact predictions and throw in some timeframes here and there. I also made predictions for myself and have gotten them right whereas those psychics have gotten them wrong. Am I psychic? Nope, just intuitive coupled with empathy and I am good at weeding out people's thought processes and intents due to my own life experiences.
I think the real psychics are the ones who can state extreme specifics and end up being right. Extreme specifics that there is absolutely no way of them knowing. For example, a birthmark or when you and that person started dating vs when you guys ended things. Or if they can pull out actual names and dates. I know a psychic on CP.com who is well known for this and it is because she is a channeler. I think she is the real deal.
I also think there are some who believe they genuinely speak with angels, spirit guides, etc., when in reality it is just in their head. Ouch, I know, but these things DO happen.

I've always wondered if some of them truly believe they are psychic, which I'm sure some do. But many are probably in situations like being single parents and are taking advantage of the work from home schedule and extra money. Some are probably also just doing it out of greed.

Walter from CP was actual able to pinpoint the house I am living in as well as my birth mark, which scared me because it seemed so incredibly accurate, but all of his predictions were wrong. I could not understand how he knew these things but not the predictions..I think he does have some psychic ability, but prediction wise he has not worked for me on either POI.
Amb:
Tara from CP picked up a rare disability with someone I called about without me prompting anything. It freaked me out at the time. Still waiting to see if things unfold from her read.
