I've been pondering this question ever since my last go with my one and only reader. It seems she had lost whatever gift she had. Seeing the other percentage rates of others, I probably could have rated her much higher for all the outcomes she predicted for me that came to fruition over the couple of years I read with her. But the last 6+ calls, not one thing has happened as she said. Not one. Has anyone else experienced this - where a favorite reader was so right, and after some time, was just wrong - on EVERYTHING??
What I do know is this: since the time I started reading with her until now, she has become very successful, financially, and even does a radio show of some sort now, too. Also, every time a prediction would not pan out, I would call back, ask why it didn't happen. So, not only was I calling for predictions, but calling for a reason for failed predictions. I got sick of spending this money calling back about failed predictions, so I emailed her. I emailed her several times after the last time I spoke with her, because she did not initially respond to my emails. When she did finally respond, she didn't come out and say it, but she did strongly imply that if I wanted answers, I should call as this IS how she made her living.
I DO understand this is a reader's livelihood. But being as I was a loyal customer, and have spent so much on her, I didn't feel it was wrong to ask for an explanation after going back and forth so many times. So I am thinking that the reason for such failure was due to the glory of money, rather than glory to God. Idk.
Thoughts, anyone?
Hi Waterhouse,
This is a great question that I have often wondered about, especially since I think something similar happened to me with the person I used to consider to be my favorite reader.
I think there are potentially a lot of factors at play here. When I look back at my connection with the person who used to be my "go-to" reader, it makes me wonder if I somehow "abused" the connection. In my case, I called this reader all too often. She would ask me not to call her so much, but I still would. Some days I would call about something else and then would slip in a question about the ex just to get an update. So, if there's validity to the idea that one can call a reader too much and can cause the connection to diminish, maybe I'm the poster child for that.
Another thing I have to take into consideration is that I started getting life coaching sessions from this person. We got to know each other on a different level... it wasn't just a client calling a psychic for answers. I revealed a lot about myself, and even came to think of this reader as a friend. I'm not saying psychics can't read for their friends, but I wonder if the fact that we got closer may have diminished her ability to see my future as well as when I was just another username on Keen.
The difference in my case is that my reader finally admitted she was wrong about C. One day, she actually sent me an email on her own and apologized for seeing the wrong outcome. She said she couldn't explain what happened because she always saw us reconciling, but something went wrong and that was no longer the outcome. She admitted that she's not perfect, and, quite frankly, I never expected her to be, but I won't lie... I was really disappointed because I really trust this reader. I give her kudos for at least admitting that she was wrong.
My case is different than yours, Waterhouse, in that I continue to call my reader about work and new crushes and things of that nature. Do I trust her as much as I used to? No. But then again, should I ever have trusted her as much as I did? Maybe not. I wasn't calling a direct line to God.
Also, I would say you have every right to be aggravated, irritated, upset, and angry with your reader. Yes, this is their livelihood, but this is your LIFE!! If a reader has been telling you something over and over again for an extended period of time, the least they could do is admit they are wrong or respond to an email. There's no excuse for not doing something as simple as that. I'm lucky in that my reader was/is always responsive to my emails regarding previous readings.
I think our relationship with our readers becomes cloudy when we think of them as friends. It's difficult not to think of them that way because we tell them our fears, desires, secrets, etc. We talk about the things our friends just don't want to hear about anymore. Sometimes I have to step back and stop myself from trusting these readers too much, even when they are accurate.
