Making Decisions Against the Advice of Readers
« on: May 07, 2025, 02:46:16 AM »
Hey all!
I just wanted to start a general thread about any experiences you have where you may have gone against the advice of a psychic in whatever situation you’re dealing with. Example.. I’ve read a few times on a recent POI who didn’t ghost me.. but he did get quiet and we lost momentum, but he wouldn’t open up about what was going on.
The general advice I received was to stay quiet and to just let him come to me. I was confused about what was happening so I decided to message him tonight (which is something I would never normally do.. I would let the man come in most other situations like they said) and he shared that he was going through a really difficult time with his mom.. essentially putting her into assisted living for Alzheimer’s. I can tell he’s having a really hard time with it and I feel like he really appreciated my message so I’m happy that I went against the advice I was being given.

This is a mild example, but I’m curious if anybody has completely ruined a situation they were in by not following their instincts or their heart. Like.. has a Psychic ever told you not to take a job and you took it anyway and ended up being the best thing for you? Or were you advised to not reach out to a friend when they needed you most?
Things of that nature

It kind of makes me wonder how much we tend to downplay our own instincts based off these readings.

I came to the same conclusion before. Unless you have been obsessively texting a guy in an unrequited love situation I have also found it’s terrible advice to stay quiet and wait for them to text you when you know in your gut there is a vibe change and they have gone quiet. While they are most likely not emotionally available for a relationship and have a new woman anyway- I have had some instances where I wish I just had texted the guy to have checked in on where I stand rather than waiting since readers said he would come back and be in a relationship which caused months of confusion (like seeing them updating their dating app profile). I also feel that with women saying nothing and acting fine this only encourages more ghosting and flaky behaviours in the bigger picture of the dating scene.

I completely agree, I think these psychics do the “don’t reach out to him, he’ll reach out to you” thing because it’s supposed to be empowering and you not “chasing the man”. I’ve had one psychic that always says something along the lines of “men have primal urges, they like to chase. You can’t make it too easy” OH PLEASE, there’s been plenty of times this advice has ruined my relationships because the guy either never reaches out because he thought I didn’t care and he didn’t want to bother me, or it’s used as a means of him saying that he was the bigger person and reached out. I say “follow your heart” any time I’ve gone ahead and reached out anyways we either make up, or at least can get closure. I think the whole “don’t reach out” thing is based on having pride, their perspective of dignity, and not being rejected but I had to ask myself “who are you trying to prove something to?, “is it worth it?”, “if he rejects you then okay”. I also think that when you talk to a psychic and change your natural actions, it alters the path. If you were naturally going to reach out… then do it.

The psychic that comes to mind is Ricky and Terese (“PS’S heavy hitters)” , I think had I not listened to them and gone ahead and reached out to my POI at the time. We might’ve been at a better place but Ricky fed me so many fairytales and then Terese just backed them up. (Apparently they know each other)
Ricky Even told me I’d see a “tan Volvo” around the time my POI would reach out.
So there I was, constantly searching for a tan Volvo. Never happened, nor did we ever get back together and be on the way to marriage like he stated. So thousands down the drain on him and Terese (so much for “I don’t sell fairytales”) and other PS psychics.

I say all this to say, FOLLOW YOUR HEART. I think unless POI absolutely tells you they hate you, never want to hear from you again and etc… just reach out, a bruised ego will heal but at least you gave it your all.

I agree with Dawn. I found that men appreciate when you just lay things on the table. For example, my love languages are quality time and acts of service. So I would communicate that I want to spend quality time biweekly and appreciate when the guy reaches out via texts to the guy that I think has potential. Then I sit back and watch if hes listening. If does these things, he likes me. If hes not doing these AND on top of that, hes actively doing the opposite (takes a long time to message me back and/or bails last min) then I have my answer. Don't waste time on this person and move on. Better to rip off the bandage ASAP than later.

A handful of men / guy friends have told me they are always walking on eggshells when courting women because one wrong action could lead to the woman ending things. One guy friend once told me that he went on a date with this girl and apparently she was upset that he didnt initiate holding hands with her. This was their first date. Not shaming her at all. I respect her wants and needs. It's just how would he know? Men aren't mindreaders.  Same goes for times when a guy is making you uncomfortable. Voice it. As women, we know how to communicate respectively. It's sad we don't speak out ASAP to set healthy boundaries.

First thing for me is, I hate when I get "advice" from a psychic. That totally puts me off, unless it's the cliche advice of focus on yourself and take care of yourself without inserting additional opinions as to what I should or shouldn't do in any situation. That isn't the point of getting a reading. If I wanted advice, I'd go to a counselor or coach or a friend. I'm calling to see what's coming up at a future time on my path and/or in whatever situation I'm inquiring about. I never listen to any advice given. I make my decisions based upon what's happening in the now and what's happened in the past. I look for historical patterns and act accordingly.

Men are humans too. They also need to feel loved and wanted. There are only certain scenarios to where one should not reach out, and not reaching out isn't for them, it's because it's the healthiest decision for YOU. Otherwise, it's just a game in an attempt to gain control over a person and/or situation. It's infantile.

In my opinion, the only time one should not reach out to another person, whether male or female is in the following scenarios.

1. If it's a new romantic interest: Each relationship/situationship should be mutual. In the beginning, sure the man should show some pursuit because it is true that humans only appreciate what they need to earn. That is a psychological fact. They don't value anything that comes far too easy and they have no respect for it either. It is also true that it's in a man's DNA to hunt and gather. That goes back to the dawn of man. However, we have to be careful with that. If the man has shown interest, put in the efforts, then the woman should equally reciprocate. However, the moment that man stops showing interest and stops putting in effort, then the woman should cease reaching out and never chase that man. Same thing with same sex unions. You have to have a level of self respect and self worth to know that you deserve someone that's going to reciprocate and put in that effort consistently. In a new situation, there's no future and no potential to build with someone that just stops all efforts. And if that person comes back around after weeks or months, chances are this will become a pattern of disappearing and resurfacing because that person blows hot and cold and most likely is an avoidant type of individual. One should cease communications and even interest in a person like that. The first time they do it should be the last. There's never an excuse for that type of behavior or treatment of another person.

2. In current relationship that's been established for some time: Only time no contact should occur is if the partner treated you poorly, then disappeared without apology etc. One should not reach out because that's enabling bad behavior and it will continue. That's making it too easy and creating a space for this behavior to repeat.

3. Break up scenario: If you were broken up with by another person, then hell no you should not reach out. Kick, scream, cry it out, and move forward, even if the psychics say they'll be back. Point is, they made that decision to end things, so they need to make that effort to fix things. If you broke up with said person for any reason and then change your mind later, then YOU need to reach out for reconciliation. Too often people play the break up game in an attempt to change the other person's behavior rather than doing it for themselves because they truly are ready to let go. I've broken up with my current several times due to certain behaviors and each time it's because I really felt fed up and ready to move on. While he's the one that returns each time after a day or two, longest was 10 days, I've still chosen to emotionally detach until such time a major behavior modification takes place and it's consistent. Only at that point will I consider emotionally investing again.

4. Lastly, when dealing with a narcissistic type of individual, a manipulative type of individual, a controlling type, no you shouldn't reach out to those types because that's part of the trauma bond and it will only keep it going. Those types rarely ever change. I don't like to say never, but it is rare. You shouldn't subject yourself to abuse of any kind and by reaching out, you're just asking for more abuse.

Every human on this planet, whether male or female, wants to feel loved. Part of showing that one cares is by mutual and reciprocal efforts in communication, actions, and behaviors. That's how we know someone cares and that's how the other person knows that YOU care. Enough with these silly recommended relationship games. Mature people don't have to play those. The cat and mouse game becomes tiresome and is truly draining.
