Are you a psychic

Answer 1

Every person is born with psychic abilities. We all can sense that something is off or just know that certain things are going to happen. I've had gut feelings that I would soon be burglarized, that others were posting bad things about me online, that certain people I wanted to call were already busy with the phone, or that a particular object would be located in a garbage dumpster. All of these things were true.

Of course, there are 2-3 types of situations that pass for psychic abilities. One is the matter of cold readings. Everyone has "tells" that they give off that broadcast their personal business. Some are conscious like choosing to wear a ring or not, and others are unconscious like talking faster when one is lying. So then there are also things you can surmise about others by asking unrelated questions. If you ask someone what their favorite brand of dog food is, and they tell you, you can almost be certain that they have a dog. The assumption would fall flat if they then admitted to eating it themselves. Or they might give the credit to the psychic -- "How did you know that I ate dog food?" If a woman is driving a minivan, it might be a reasonable guess that she has kids, since why would a woman drive something so bulky when she is likely not owning it to impress others or for some heavy construction trade (which could be verified by looking for dirt and scratches)? As they ask you questions, you might unknowingly give them information about you that they will present back to you as a reading. That is profiling, not a psychic reading.

Another type of situation that passes for psychic is self-fulfilling prophesy. If the psychic predicts you will soon be scammed, and you pay them a nice chunk of money, then you and they just fulfilled their prophecy. Or if a woman tells the psychic that she is abused and asks what will happen to her in the future, the psychic might say that they see images of violence and suggest that the woman leave the abuser. Thus telling her to leave the abuser might actually lead to the event that is foretold, though it won't be the cause, since living with an abuser is always a ticking time bomb anyway. So when a situation will likely be caused or exacerbated by giving someone a psychic reading or other actions on part of the psychic (or the client in response), it is said to be a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Then there are generalities. That can produce the "Barnum Effect" where you are more likely to believe what other people say about your life or your personality. That is why astrological readings seem to work, since they say things that could be true about most people every day. And even if it doesn't match exactly, it often contains kernels of truth about you or some sound advice. If the advice says, "If you start saving today, you will likely have quite a nest egg a year from now." That would be true of anyone being told that on any day. Plus some of the general readings can be self-fulfilling (see previous paragraph) too. If you read that you are going to have a bad day, then you might look for evidence of that and conclude you are having a worse day than the previous, even if the previous one was not much different. You might even act differently in response to the reading and inadvertently complicate your day.
