The definition of contact
PurpleRain:
I am the same way.

Here is my 2 cents...
IMO, I am going to side with Purple Rain.
I am researcher by default, always have been, always will be.
Contact to me is has to be absolute direct contact as in calls, texts, emails, sliding into my dm's, or social media comments made directed towards me.
I typically need to see or hear the facts or evidence to believe something to be true.
That being said there is a minor gray area (MINOR)... If a POI likes your posts or pictures, I don't look at that as "contact" persay but an acknowledgment that you still exist and they see you.
If someone is watching your stories or what not and never say anything then I am sorry they are just a troll and shouldn't been entertained at all.
Maybe it's just me because I am someone who is super direct and straightforward with others that if I want to talk to you or have something to say then I'll reach out. Otherwise, I won't bother with you.

But, the title of this thread is "The definition of contact'
Lmao @ 95% aren't psychic just guessing...Sad thing is you're probably right.

It was if it could be considered the contact the psychic picks up. I stand by my feelings that most aren't strong enough to know what they are seeing. Heck 95% of psychics aren't psychic at all and just guess. Most "contact" predictions don't happen especially if you have been out of contact awhile. I would never hold onto hope of a contact prediction.

LMAO yeah the title says definition but the original post is what actually happens when they say contact. I think we all feel the same that they say contact constantly and nothing happens or something happens and its not what we expect it to mean.

This. We don’t need the literal definition of contact. We all already know what the textbook definition is. The thread was asking basically “what does it mean when a psychic says ‘contact’” and that is what prompted the many responses about social media, indirect contact, etc. Every psychic is different, but for most, those count as a form of contact unless they state otherwise.
LillyPad99:
I, again, think you’re confused. No one is saying that we believe the psychics and this form of contact (well, I am not and I can only speak for myself). I was simply offering a psychic’s definition of what contact may be. It wasn’t stated, by me at least, that their version of contact is believed. In fact, most get contact wrong anyway, so it doesn’t matter either way. You’re reading way into some of these responses.
FWIW, I don’t think your post came across as a Debbie Downer/Negative Nancy. Just a bit over analyzing what some of us are saying. We’re just offering our two cents, not saying we hold any psychics to these contact definitions because, as you stated, they’re utter bull. As Purple stated, if someone is inquiring about contact, it SHOULD be the textbook definition, not whatever Psychic A, B, C, or D *thinks* it should be (which sadly, they typically mean everything BUT direct contact).
