Stop getting readings!

Let's say it wasn't readings, but something else you had no interest in. Maybe they spend lots of money on an expensive hobby that doesn't include you.
Yep...we can all decide for ourselves what we want to do. And then think, well anyone who doesn't approve, that's none of their business. So what difference does it make, what someone on a forum thinks. Do whatever you want. But if you want to get married, it is definitely going to be their business what you spend money on. And what would they think, if they find out you spend a lot of money on readings?
I mean I know if I hear a man justifying his habits the way I see people on this forum getting defensive over their choices...that would be a huge red flag to me. We all have things we like to do for ourselves, and there is nothing wrong with that, but there are times in life where you also have to be willing to set those things aside.
A guy who wanted to date me last year, told me he lost over 10,000 gambing one weekend. I was like NOPE. Sorry. I can relate and all in all I am not that much different, although I did it spread out over several years instead of all at once like that. It's not like I am standing in judgement over it or saying I'm better. But that's just it...why get involved with someone who probably shares or reflects my own weaknesses? What bothered me was that it was very recent and he expressed no deeper insight into why he did it or how he was going to stop. He wasn't happy about it but acted like it was no big deal either. I would never want to get emotionally involved with someone like that, much less financially involved. What if we shared a bank account, and he impulsively drained our account on a gambling trip? No freaking way!
One of the biggest things that made me quit, is I kept thinking about how a potential partner would feel knowing I spent this much money on readings, especially since a large portion of that was spent calling about other men. I know I would hate to be in that position, if I knew that the man I wanted to be with had spent years and thousands of $$$$ pining over another woman. I could definitely relate, but all the reasons why I could relate to it would likewise scare me away! Or worse...what if some guy had been getting readings about ME? I would not be flattered!
Or what if the readings weren't about romance at all...instead it was just for advice or having someone to talk to?? I'd be like...you better learn how to turn to ME for that! I don't want to be with someone who calls strangers and tells them our personal business! I wouldn't want to be business partners with someone who has a habit like this either, or work for them! In short...it's not an attractive habit!
People talk about feeling judged here...uhhhhh...people out in the real world, will judge you and they should because your habits could make or break their own well being if they get involved with you, whether personally or financially. And people on this forum, relatively speaking, are VERY supportive compared to what you would most likely hear elsewhere. It shows just how much your priorities and perspective are out of balance, if you get bothered by not having 100% support and agreement with your own life choices.

There's probably $25000 worth of readings here. They are going in the trash. I haven't had a reading in over a year. Please please please stop wasting your money!!!!!! Go live your life. Whatever you're calling about will happen or not regardless if you call. Live your life, be happy where you're at and SAVE YOUR MONEY and buy a house!!!!

OMg I feel ya on this. I have spent probably enough to buy a house over the 20 years of psychic readings and people who have not spent a dime have all that I hoped to have when I bought the readings lol I could have been studying in sweden now or something. Anyways, the past is the past. best for us to move on. Even if there are some gifted readers out there, I feel like for some, getting too much information is not good. I am still struggling with this idea of fate. I dont buy it... however, one reader did warn me about a particular person to show my emotions more with him or he would move on. in my mind i thought i was doing a good job. Either way , he went to the other person and they are married now and have a kid. maybe it was meant to be? who knows... but her warning didnt change anything if those two were meant to be together.
If it is hard to really quit, make a long term budget plan because it adds up without you even knowing... it adds up to a trip overseas , a gym membership, a hermes bag lol,
200x12= 2400 (enough for a trip to the Bahamas)
300x12= 3600 ( fun with a couple of escorts)
400x12= 4800 (down payment on a car or land)
however if you spend no more than 50 dollars a month on psychics ... darn that is still a lot. it comes out to 600 dollars... back to my calculations... 25 a month is 300.

Just wanted to express my thoughts about this topic. I understand not everyone might agree with it but this are just my thoughts.. I totally agree with everyone who thinks there was nothing wrong with the initial post since I think that over time this place has in some sorts become a place where some people can vent about their experiences and in some ways part of their lives. I do believe that maybe a few people (not everyone tho) develop this addiction to online reading b/c they might in some sorts feel a little lonely or lost in regards to some aspect of their lives. This forum should remain a safe haven for everyone who wants to come express themselves b/c you never know if a simple post of someone venting might help someone else who is struggling at that particular moment.
That getting said, I think that getting online reading is not bad at all if you are aware that you are getting the reading for "guidance and advice" and not for relaying on them 100%. Unfortunately, we can not deny the fact that getting to into online reading can leave your pockets empty for sure.. and if that happens to you and you end up feeling horrible about it just remember that it is OK.. it has happened to lots of us and you are always free to come on here and read different threads to give you strength and make you feel a lil better or maybe even tell us your story if that is something that will make you happy.
Wishful Thinker:
Firstly, i don’t understand why people are saying that some were intimidated by the initial post. I’m not intimidated by anything or anyone on here. I’m looking at things logically and not emotionally. And what I interpreted her post saying “since I’ve had readings upon readings for years and nothing has happened for me, they’re not going to happen for you either so save your money.” Just because predications didn’t happen for her doesn’t mean they won’t or haven’t for anyone else. If you have spent that much money on Psychics, you have a much bigger problem that needs to be addressed.

There are people new and old on here who want to express themselves about things that have come true for them on here but feel intimidated because they will be attacked by those who have gotten readings and nothing has come to pass for them.
I also understand that there is a vent tab in this forum; however, I don’t see a tab where it says to save your money and don’t get readings.

@WishfulThinker, am I mistaken, or wasn't it you who introduced the idea to this thread that people feel intimidated. It's right there in your post above...
