For example, can a psychic really tell you specific things on wats going on in your life and tell you wat you should do, or are they just feeding off your responses and spewing general things anyone can connect to?

Most tell you only what they think you want to hear. Others give responses that are too vague to actually be able to help anyone.
You may be better off (& save a lot of money) to buy a deck of tarot cards of your own. Keep in mind that they do not really foretell the future---they are to be used as a meditiation tool to help you gain insight to what may happen if you follow a certain path.
Nothing is set in stone. We all make our own destiny.

Only certain people turn to psychics, they are aware of this. Basically suggestible people needing to be filled emotionally whether good or bad news. Generally we are all nice but all have relationship issues, money problems, family problems etc..Everything happens for a purpose, we already know the answers we just want reassurance sometimes, even if it is from a stranger.

Do you really want someone telling you what is going to happen in your future? Would your first kiss be as exciting if you knew exactly how and when it was going to happen? Don't try to take the mystery and wonder out of your life.
As for psychics you should be very careful. Some are frauds who are there to take your money and some are involved in things that you would never want to invite into your life.

I'm not really sure if psychic abilities are real or not, but I DO believe in scumbags, and I believe that even if psychic people are around, they're probably WAY outnumbered by scumbags parasitically feeding off of weak peoples needs for assurance. If they are real, I'd bet a real one could tell you specific events.

I've been to a psychic on different occasions. Out of all of them (maybe I've been to about 4 or 5) only one has been the closest! She did tell me things that she could no nothing about and things in the future that did in fact happen. I'd say she was about 60% correct. Needless to say, I never went back nor have seen any other psychic.
I guess you can say,, I want to be surprised at what's is going to happen in my life.....or disappointed.

So-called psychics use a technique called "cold reading". Houdini was famous for debunking all "great psychics" of his time and people such as "The Amazing Randy" took up on his legacy offering 1 million dollars for any psychic who can prove that what he or she does is not a trick.

I think that people like to hear things that they might think they want to have happen in their lives, or they look for a way to fit what they have been told into it. For example look at your horoscope at the end of the day and see if your day pertained to it. Now I do believe in the ability to read people by their actions and there inaction's, but to me that is basic human behavior, anyone can learn to do that.

I think all psychics have one gift in common --
The gift of being able to read other people, feed their need, and take their money.

There are many things we cannot see with our eyes or hear with our ears...psychic/intuitive people if they are truly gifted can and do see into our lives, but only if you are open to it.

Who cares what they can tell you, you know already, you make your own future, only you can decide what your future is. Some people are gifted in many ways, you need to stand up and make your own decisions.
