Can you tell you friend potentially negative stuff about them you learned from your psychic card reader ?

Question

My friend went to visit a card reader, I normally do not believe in that kind of stuff....but keep an open mind, you never know. She warns me that the psychic told her I had to be careful not to do x and y, otherwise I might have an accident. I was extremely upset about it, as I did not see the psychic, I did not want to see a psychic and do not see why she told me that. I don't mind her believing in it, but I don't want to be mixed with it, especially not being told about negative stuff that can happen to me. It is kind of jixing to me (although I also do not believe in jixing, but again you never know).

She says I overreacted, I do not think so. If the accident happen, is she going to sing me "I told you so, I told you so" ??? Now, everytime I do x and y, I will think about the accident. A lot of prophecies are actually self-fullfilling because people tend to remember this kind of things and put themselves in situation that will provoke the result, "predicted" by the prophecy. It bothers me extremely, I have not spoken to her since.

What do you think ? Did I overreact, or do you think a golden rule of seeing a psychic is keeping the results for yourself, at least those not concerning you ?

Answer 1

If this is what she told you she lied. A real psychic do not get a read on someone that isn't there. At the most the psychic would be able to get a read on "her and you" Or her and someone very physically close to her. A reading for a friend who isn't there just isn't done.  I think your fiend is trying to play a bad joke on you. Pay it all no attention it isn't true.

Answer 2

let's put this into perspective, if you believe bad things will happen when you do x or y, then it will through the power of suggestion.  Forget about it.  

Answer 3

You do have a point, but now you're overreacting. You know that even for people who are into this stuff the card reader's prediction is seriously spurious.

Assuming that your friend didn't invent the story for a bit of attention seeking, I find it hard to believe that the card reader actually mentioned you. Your friend decided that the prediction is about you.

I suggest that you choose to believe that your friend cares about you and wanted to give you this warning because she thought it might help protect you. Tell her that you know that she meant well but you would prefer not to get any more psychic warnings in the future. Then forget it.

I don't know if this helps, but my opinion is that the concept of predetermination - especially something so specific - is pure unadulterated bunkum.

Answer 4

Your friend honestly had good intentions.  She obviously believes in this stuff, and she thought your safety was at hand.  I wouldn't be mad, but I would explain to her that it made you feel uncomfortable when she told you this.

Please ignore this, forget all about it, and move on.  That stuff is BS

Answer 5

I'm sure she meant to help.  I have friends who take that stuff really seriously, like it's all just destiny, so if she's that fanatic about it, then she's trying to be helpful.  

I would tell her that you'd rather that she not discuss you with the psychic, that if you wanted a psychic's opinion you'd go to one yourself.  I wouldn't want anyone's secondhand opinion of me, whether it's a psychic or a cardiologist:  when I want their opinion I'll go see them myself.  (Remember that old joke, "when I want your opinion I'll beat it out of you!"?)

If you want to humor her about this unhappy medium of hers, you can tell her that you believe that psychics, crystals, whatever--are only effective for the person involved.  In other words, even tho you mean well, you can't *bring* someone a crystal--they have to go select their own for it to work, and you can't *bring* someone a reading.  It's just all "too personal".  So yes, I believe your golden rule about keeping unsolicited advice to yourself is always good--whether it involves tea leaves or not!

I REALLY think her psychic is a louse who wants to scare you so you will race in there and see her, and she can make money on you.  The psychic figures if this woman's dumb enough to come see her, her friends might be that dumb too!  That's a pretty common MO, and at least in San Diego, the psychics are scam artists who have long records with the police--it's a racket.  That's the thing to remember if you get worried about doing x and y, and any kind of jinx:  these people are fakes.  You can also check out this woman and see if she has an arrest record, and then tell your friend that she's been hauled in by the cops more often than Robert Downey Jr.  



So tell her that if you need her advice you'll ask for it, but you're not interested in what her psychic says, and from now on she's not to discuss you with the psychic.  I don't know why she feels compelled to discuss you with anyone, whether it's a priest or a bartender.  

Or you can tell her that your psychic says her psychic is no good!  

I have a sister in law who is "helpful", who diagnoses family members with diseases even tho she isn't a doctor, nurse or even a vet.  If you get mad at them for being inappropriate, they say you're mean--I totally sympathize!  

PS:  I took all the hexes off you, while I was at this--go forth without worry!

Answer 6

i think it was okay that she told you. i think it's better to know(just in case) when it comes to stuff like that. but it's whatever you want to believe. if you're extremely worried, you should just go to the psychic yourself.  

Answer 7

I would keep it to yourself because good psychic's general will refrain from giving people negative information because of what you have just described.
