Why bother to go to a psychic then, just wear rose-coloured glasses all the time and keep your fingers crossed. It strikes me as being rather similar to blaming a doctor because she tells you that you have cancer....should she edit that of what she tells you!?
Ummm....no.

There are ways to deliver information that are more tactful, and, I hadn't asked about this. It wasn't a "tell me everything in my future" thing. There was really no need for her to say it.

Yes, that is your choice, but I was answering LuckyGem who said that real psychics don't charge.

I had a reading that was scary and impressively true once. She was very dark in nature and seemed to enjoy delivering bad news.

I'm still standing.

Rough times aren't the end of the world. They are how we learn.

Ever gone to a restaurant and gotten a crappy meal? Ever have a friend go to a doctor and get a 2nd opinion and find out the first doctor missed something?

If there is something about your life you want changed, or a direction you need to be moving in, then you need an action plan and to make the best attempt possible. Nobody is right 100% of the time. Nobody.

Don't worry about what she said. You are in control of your mindset. A friend mine is a psychic and I asked her if I would ever get married, she said I would marry. As asked her why she thought I would marry, she said because she knew I wanted to get married. In other words, if you are determined to do something, you will. I've been married for 11 years.

Considering we are asking for their time, I think they deserve compensation. If no one got paid, there would be very few psychics reading because they'd be too busy holding down other full-time jobs.
I knew a psychic who did not charge. He told me that there is a knowledge that profiting from the gift will diminish the gift over time. He was psychic until the day he died, but had mentioned that he knew of psychics who charged and eventually had to lie and guess because the gift was no longer there. He said he knew of the other sort, who were seemingly unaffected by taking money, but to him the money was not worth the gamble.

I don't know where the idea comes from. I don't think they don't deserve money. I just think, as mentioned on this thread, that there is talent there which is often mixed with inaccuracy. I dislike paying for 'guesses'.

I think a psychic can use things like tarot or scrying or palms or astrological charts as contact points for enhancing their abilities.

Tact is a learned trait. Don't shoot the messenger.

I believe everyone has some degree of psychic ability. Some people choose to develop theirs to a higher degree while others do not even realize what they have. I would love to go see someone with great psychic ability but have been afraid to. I would not want to receive any type of negative information/predictions. That's just me.
