The definition of contact
LillyPad99:
Yes, I prefer readers where, if they’re even going to mention contact (which POI and I aren’t out of contact so it’s not an Issue for me of If/when), that they’d say exactly WHAT kind they see. I’ve had a reader one time say he’s going to reach out via text to ask to meet up somewhere. I rather hear that, “oh he’ll reach you via email/text/call” rather than just “he’ll contact you” and then you realize that contact was indirect (a new profile pic of POI and a new girlfriend) instead of ACTUAL contact. That’s what I don’t like. It is very cryptic and confusing, depending on the reader, so I can understand why such a question of “what is the definition of contact” is being asked. When most people hear “he will contact you”, they’re assuming the textbook definition of “he’s going to call/text me directly”.
Forgot to add: I remember one reader actually saying she wasn’t sure WHAT type of contact it was, but it would him contacting her and she ran through the list of all possible forms. I was just sitting there with a ???????? on my face 😂 It was my BFF and I was sitting next to her at the time. If I recall, it was some Etsy reader

My post was responding to the title and some of the posts I read that seemed to take other odd things into account as contact!
As this thread continues looks like the literal definition is needed. Contact means (insert my 1st post) and should mean the same thing when it is given as a prediction.
If I see poi looking at my live feed on IG that's NOT contact. Unless the psychic mentioned this specifically. Otherwise if they just gave "contact" as in the general sense w/o clarifers then the literal definition prevails!
This is why I clarify everything with them....because I now weed out readers who have their own definition of words and or phrases that aren't logically recognizable to the average person that speaks my language. If they tell me hes going to contact me, but what they really mean is he's reading my FB page, then they're not the reader for me.
This is why I clarify everything
Psychic: Hes going to contact you....
Me: "what do you mean....he's going to call me?"
A classic example is Yona giving me "updates" as contact. Well i can get updates from their best friend, the news, or from looking at their social media....none of which is contact. Or he could update me by sending a text (which is contact) once I clarified it with her, she just meant I was getting news, I would come to know of certain things.
So, when I gave the definition thats what I expect psychics to mean when they give contact as a general prediction. And as I stated before, this is why I'm trending away from cryptic, convoluted readers who have their own "language".

Wait 😳 a new post appearing on your insta search page doesn’t count does it?! As it’s an update but not actual contact from them to you themselves

It *shouldn't* count as contact, no. Unfortunately for some readers/psychics, it does (if that makes sense), which is ridiculous. If the POI didn’t actually REACH out to you to have communication directly *with you*, then anything else IMO isn’t “contact”. There are psychics, however, who will try to excuse that very situation you described as a form of contact even if they didn’t indicate that was what they saw and they just said “oh s/he will contact you on or around >>INSERT DATE<<“ if, however, they said “you’ll get an update on POI”, then yes, I’d say your insta search would count...depending on what the search showed, I guess.
