My readings have been nothing but confusing lately. I limit myself to the known "good" readers, but even they are flip flopping. Maybe my readings are too frequent.

The more readings you get, the more confusing it gets.
Not to mention readings sap your spirit.
I rarely call Keen anymore, and it's the best thing I've done.
I'm saying this as someone who called for years.
It's hard to break the cycle, and I only was able to do it after Keen cracked down on sharing the promotions.
And then I reached a certain level of maturity where I realized the readings weren't real, and they were having an adverse effect on my well being. You only realize it after you stop.

I have read this a few times on this board, that once you stop with readings altogether, you feel better. I haven't stopped for long enough to feel a difference and I have always gone back.
I am curious to know how is it different once you stop reading with psychics? What feels different?

I went on a terrible binge years ago for maybe a year or so. Then stopped completely until just recently started to get readings again. First time around I was so naive. So naive that one reader who I completely trusted basically told me she was a fake in so many words and I couldn’t even grasp it. Couldn’t even grasp how much I had trusted her and how much money I spent. They all seemed right about my POI at the time. But they seemed right because of the fact that guess what?
I think the thing here is that it’s not so much that people’s POIs are similar - but that experiences and human nature itself is so similar across the board and especially when calling about relationships of any kind - which many are - well a reader only needs to know the tiniest info from you and then can easily manipulate the reading enough to seem like a genuine psychic. Man those cold read techniques are super tricky.
So here’s the thing. When you stop getting readings you no longer HAVE the thought of wondering if so and so is right and if this or that is going to happen or not or what decisions you’re going to make based on what might or might not happen. You remember what it’s like to be okay with not knowing.
I think the central thing about getting repeated readings is that it can become an addicting way to alleviate anxiety. So when you stop getting readings you are forced to find other (hopefully more healthy) ways to alleviate the anxiety you’re trying to heal. And then the reading creates a cycle of further anxiety because you now are wondering like I said.
Idk. That’s my take on it. By not getting readings you don’t end up with any attachment thoughts in your mind about the reading because you don’t have someone else’s real or not real predictions or empathic abilities or whatever to consider.
You learn to go by your own intuition again and learn other ways of coping with anxiety over whatever is driving you to call someone at the rate of x per minute. No one spends that kind of money on anything unless you are just into completely wasting money or unless you’re seriously anxious about something. Just my opinion.
Lol - as I mull over whether or not I can or want to get another reading myself. lol. ::massive eye roll at myself::

Thank you for this post @flora0250, I agree that calling psychics is a way to alleviate anxiety and wondering about what they tell you is a waste of your energy and thoughts and it can cause confusion.
Right now I am trying to go with my own intuition and do things the way I see fit. I've had psychics give me lots of advice about what to do and not do and it didn't end up being good at all. I went against some of that advice and I trusted my intuition and it worked out better.
Miss Philosopher:
I assume what feels different is, the fact that you aren't holding onto time frames and hope and everything else. You are then just accepting what is and how it is in that moment. I've called and called in the beginning of something difficult and for a few months after. Then you just get to a point where you get tired of a situation and you just stop calling and just accept what is and don't even care about time frames or if said thing even ever happens. That's how it was for me anyway. Holding on does get tiring. It's like your whole life is on hold or something. I get it.
Too many readings within a short time frame indeed get confusing. And to be honest, I'm into astrology a lot, and the most screwy time to get readings is during a venus and/or mercury retrograde. Everything seems to come to a standstill. Why I say that is, for those of you who consider astrological influences, is because mercury is the planet of the mind and rules thoughts and communication. During those retrogrades there are a lot of misunderstandings, fights, clouded thinking, difficulty focusing, lost emails or delayed emails, issues with electronics, things breaking down like cars, appliances, computers etc., higher incidents of car accidents and injuries, a lot of suicides and depression, anxiety, etc., and just weirdness all around. Once that energy lifts, things just feel lighter, thoughts become clearer and things start moving forward. Mercury retrogrades 3 to 4 times per year. The energies of that last 8 weeks each time. With Venus retrogrades, which occur once every two years, the focus is on relationships, beauty, material things. It is high time for affairs and cheating, break ups, over spending money, purchasing products more than usual etc. During this time things appear one way (blinded vision), but when it's done retrograding, it appears as what it really is. A lot of times people get back together after venus is done retrograding. People look back at the decisions they made during that time and think "wtf did I do" "wtf did i buy" "wtf was i thinking" "omg look at my broke bank account why did i spend so much". On the flip side of that, a lot of times past lovers or friends appear whether in person or in thought. Same with Mercury. Retrogrades are all about the past. Review, revise, rethink......just all the "re's" lol. Not a good time for taking action. Most of the time, relationship started during those retrogrades don't last and are short lived. Decisions made during that time typically comes with a lot of regret etc.
Venus retrograde began October 5th but the pre energy started in early September. Venus left retrograde November 16th but the energy doesn't completely subside until December 17th. Mercury went retrograde on November 16th (same day venus went direct) but the energy of it has been around since late October. Mercury went direct December 6th but that energy doesn't fully dissipate until December 21st. January and February will be completely retrograde free (yaaaaaaaaaaay). I'd say, get your readings during those two months when everything is more clear and forward moving lol.
Anyway, enough of my astrology rant. I know I have had some confusing readings since October. October 6th is when my current ex broke up again, which I'm really past caring about it now to be honest. However, ex is beginning to resurface again and we're almost out of retrograde energy so I'm not surprised. Nevertheless, I decided I'm getting my very last reading in January and not having another one for at LEAST 3 months. My life feels better energetically without having as many readings as well. You feel free. Letting go just feels so good and just feels so free. That's the beauty of it. Everyone will do it in their own time. That's my two cents.
