I don't mean to sound judgy but looking through posts, many people say they're done with readings and going to leave the forum, but then go on to continue posting or stay on this forum, not saying there's anything wrong with that as after all, this is an addiction, and people can do what ever the hell they like. But do people generally feel that this forum helps them to move on, or do they get tempted? I'm generally curious cuz I'm still having readings, and I wondered if this forum does people a whole lot of good, they may get tempted to have another reading again, then another, and another and effectively it doesnt seem to help some people move on cuz they say they're done and their mindset is beginning to tell them look nothing's happening I know so far they've all been wrong, but then by staying on this forum it gives them hope, and pro longs the addiction. Maybe I'm wrong and for some it has actually helped them cuz they have pals on here or support networks, but I know from being addicted in the past for me personally, it only helped me to stay away from forums like these or any temptations.

For me it had caused much more temptation to try new people or even try old people again that didn’t work for me because they appeared to work for someone else. TBH this is why I’m convinced (call me paranoid) that there are many more fake posts about readers than people think. Because posts here just feed into the money making business of it all. So of course - this is a free platform to promote people’s business. There are probably a huge ton of fake posts.

Anyway off the point. I’ve still been tempted because I have a hard time even believing that it would be that extensive - so that must mean that loads of people actually have success. So why haven’t I?!?  But thankfully I’ve gotten over those mental hurdles but I still want to see what people’s experiences are with readers who have gotten some remote viewing things right for me. And I like to read others experiences in general.

But tack on a few thousand for me being dumb and wanting to try out all the readers people posted hype about.

Everyone is different. An alcoholic can go in a restaurant without ordering alcohol . The temptation is there but 9/10 they won’t buy. I’m sure there’s some that can’t go because they know it’s on offer.

I post here still and don’t read anymore . I just don’t see the point when the majority are wrong. I’ve learned to do my own readings .


I’ll spend my money on alcohol instead . Lol

I totally agree that there are people on here who are fakes posting for revenue for readers, and the less I say on that the better, because it makes me frustated when psychics do that, it's not good karma. Perhaps some of the people claiming to have had success with readings are also fake, hard to tell. There's also many people who haven't had any luck, I've had small things come in but neither the biggie.

I feel like it helps me stay away from readers because the incorrect predictions stick with me. However, I did discover Yona and Kisha because of this site. The major positive with that is that they aren’t platform readers and seem ethical. I would rather spend my money and time with a few reputable psychics than the $10/min ones. It makes me feel like I’m in control.
