More and More peoples have move on from psychics reading
jhuskindle:
I’ve been seeing an accurate psychic for over 5 years. I only branched out a year and a half ago to others... tons has come true, so for me totally worth it. Best psychics are referrals from others who have had things come to pass. I’m on keen so I never fell for it, as well as kasamba.

I think those who are really posting depressing things, stating that "psychics are a waste of money" or that "Nothing ever had come true" or "they barely get things right", along with other negativities, are saying these things out of not any logical statistics, but out of being let down time and time again, by psychics who have failed them, whether they be fake, or just don't connect well with them. I've had a lot of luck with predictions, as have so many others. I understand the need to hold a pessimistic outlook on these kind of things; it doubles as a protection mechanism, to avoid getting heightened expectations crumpled and shot down. Fair. But I think all of these negative posts, from people, being negative, saying these things, are not only incorrect, but it's also not very good to spread this around. I'm sorry to those who have said these things, I'm sure you wanted your predictions to happen, and that sucks. It really really does, and I empathize, greatly. That must really hurt. But also realize that many of the ones you've read with were probably fake, or probably just didn't connect well with you. You see phenomenal success stories every day from psychics. I don't think getting readings is a bad thing, unless you're in debt, and struggling financially. If you're desperate, and need a check-up, to see if things are still "on the same path", that's fine. And you have the right to do so. We all have weak moments, and you shouldn't try to say what they're doing is wrong, if they're getting readings out of desperation. We're all human. I'd simply like to put my two cents in on this subject. I see a lot of negativity, usually from the same few users about psychics, posting negative statements attributed toward them, and speaking as if they're scams, or "usually incorrect". It's not black and white. They were either fake, or didn't connect well with you. And I'm sorry that had happened. You don't deserve that let down. You don't deserve having those expectations shot down. You're all great people. And you deserve the best. But I think it's not very fair to state that others getting readings, whether out of desperation, or otherwise, is wrong. Because it's not. Psychics have definitely helped me, and many others, and not just in the prediction front. They've told us how to succeed in relationships, in work, etc., warning us about what to do, and what not to do to get to where we'd like to be. So yeah. I'm sorry you didn't have great experiences with psychics, but please don't try to push the idea that it's "all for naught", and that they're "usually wrong", or that, "Odds are they won't come back", or that "no one is good with timing... NO ONE", (all which I've heard...), etc., etc., because it's unfair to those who are holding onto hope, and holding on with good reason. It's not unusual for the ex to come back, nor is it as "crazy" and "unlikely" as people here try to make it out to be... but again, it's dependent upon each individual's circumstance, and everyone is different. Sometimes, having that hope and holding onto the readings can actually lead to success with their job, their POI, etc.
Just wanted to put my two cents in. Thanks for listening.

I understand the need to rationalize why psychic readings didn't pan out long term for other people, and I think it is not good for people to act like it is "cool" or "fun" to get readings and downplay the destructive effects they have on most people who get them.

Well, it's only really destructive if
A) the psychic you go to is a fraud (which is the harder of the two to deal with)
B) They're in debt, and are already struggling financially.
Hell I'd go so far as to even say it's okay to get many reading if you're addicted, and have the funds. Getting a reading out of desperation is fine, provided you've got the funds. It helps calm and soothe the heart. Or if you get bad news, and it's a trusted (and real) reader, then you've got what's really going on, and can move forward with your life.
It actually can be cool and fun, and it's totally fine for others to think that way, provided they've got the money. I don't see why that's anyone else's business but their own. And they're only destructive when they're fake, or are just absolute garbage with their predictions, or don't connect well with the individual. And to say that it's destructive for MOST people, is not a very logical viewpoint. It really depends on the individual and how they connect with their reader. How destructive it is, vs, how helpful it is, depends on the person and how they connect to the psychic. I think it's wrong to assume that 'most psychics are wrong', when certain readers have proven themselves time and time again, and while they can certainly be wrong, why be pessimistic about this? It just creates fear, anxiety and worry in those who are awaiting predictions (that could very well come true). I think it's not only very unhealthy, but also quite mean to push negativity or pessimism on someone with hope. While you (not you in particular, I mean 'you' as in the person in this situation) may see it as being helpful, it can be the "break it", in the "make it or break it", to somebody who's predictions would otherwise actually had happened.
I think the best thing to do is stay optimistic, especially if you've already connected well to a reader, and/or had predictions pass. Otherwise, just stay neutral, with hope. Gearing a little more toward the optimistic side of things isn't bad. It's certainly more healthy than leaning toward pessimism. Not to say that holding onto hope with all of your heart for 20 years for a POI to return is healthy either. You've just got to find this balance, and a little touch of extra optimism hurts nobody. But a lot of pessimism and negativity regarding psychics can definitely hurt others in the long run, even if they're just trying to help them to not 'be hurt in the long run'. I can see it from both sides, but I think the negativity toward psychics hurt those who are here, looking for support, or waiting for predictions to pass, far more than optimism will. Not to mention the fact that just being pessimistic about things, can really cause unhappiness in the life of onesself, and the person reading the negativity. I have this one 'friend' who will nitpick, and choose the silliest things to complain about, and while he sees it as him being "realistic", it's simply just him being negative, and it really does affect others, and brings the vibe down. I think it's best to stay optimistic, or give hope, or spread happiness, while on a public forum. Now we're all entitled to our own opinions, but you've got to realize that the negativity can really really be harmful, and hurt those with hope, who may just have their predictions pass. And like I said, provided one has the funds, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being desperate and looking for hope, thereby getting yet another reading, and asking repeat questions, to get a re-confirmation. If one has the funds, then so what, right? That doesn't affect anyone else but them. You know? And if the predictions pan out, that's the thing that kept them going. Take care:)
Just my two cents.

Alcohol can be destructive too does that mean drinking is wrong? To one person, a drink is enough, another it can cost them their life. Same with drugs. Same with gambling. Its not about the psychic readings its about how an individual uses them. One person can have a drink every night and be fine and another becomes an alcoholic. Eating can be destructive too. Should we just not eat then. Its the addiction behind the doing not the actual thing.

Oh my god I LOVE this analogy! That is very very good!!:)
Miss Philosopher:
Just wanted to chime in, even though I shouldn't lol. As others have mentioned, I feel the creator of this post feels very let down because none of her readings manifested. I could definitely understand the jaded outlook there.
Some food for though though @psychicgirl, is that perhaps it is your negativity that is creating a very negative vibe and you are actually unintentionally pushing people away from you. The POI's or the ex's or whoever it is you have called about. Your energy honestly feels very bitter and that is an energy that people will run from. Maybe the man/men you have called about can feel that energy emanating from your being even from a distance when there isn't any or hasn't been any contact for long periods of time. This is usually why ex's or poi's end up reappearing........once a person has moved on and doesn't carry that same energy with them or has made a choice to just release it.
Positivity is a very alluring and attractive energy to carry. That is when people start coming toward you, whether it be new or old. Maybe you should think about perhaps working on releasing your bitterness and transforming it into strength and positivity. Uplifting others really helps with that. Self love helps with that. Positive affirmations help, uplifting music, a good diet, pampering yourself etc. Ask for help releasing the negative emotions and thoughts you have and you will receive it. And then, you will attract better things to yourself and even your readings may change around and start to manifest should you choose to receive any further readings.
I wish you the best of luck and hope that you're able to find peace and release your pain. Sending you love and healing <3
