I'm afraid to be around this woman because she sees my feelings...?

Question

When I visit the in-laws, we usually run into a woman around town who is psychic. Whenever I see her, she blurts out things, in front of the in-laws, about how I am feeling. The worst part about it is - she is right on! She says she can read a lot of things on me and my feelings "because I am needy" in that way. She does not charge for readings, and I have never had in-depth conversation with her. She just stops me and says things. Sometimes these feelings are private though, and she doesn't filter what she says, and she tells the in-laws what she saw in me. Is there a way I can block her from seeing my feelings? I am actually anxious about seeing her again!

I had heard she was phychic, so the first time I met her I was interested when she started telling me about a work situation that just happened. She even used the exact two names of the people I work with, no mistakes.
After that I believed she was.
The next time I was really down about my weight and not getting pg, I said hi and she picked up on it right away. She didn't know the complete details but she knew I was feeling really down, and not even the family knew I was having a bad day.
Many months later she told everyone I was pg before it was announced (I was), and she was right about it being a "beautiful baby boy."
These are pretty specific situations.
After that she got into how I try to keep my husband from his family, how my Mom is jealous of my family, and I am jealous of my husband's best friend (who's name does start with a B) because they spend so much time together. This is all probably true, but not good to say!

Answer 1

Just tell her plainly not to blurt out information. If she has any ethics at all she will not.

there are many possibilities. She could be a real psychic or she could just be really good at reading people and situations, or she could be a fraud and that is why she insists on blurting out information to make it appear she is real.

All the true psychic I know use more tact than that.

Answer 2

I need more information. Did you think she was psychic before or after her comments? What did she say exactly? How specific has she been? How vague? Have you noted any "misses"? Do you wear your heart on your sleeve?

Ever read a horoscope that seems right on the money? Everyone has because the terms and circumstances used are so vague they could apply to anyone. Combine this with cold reading and an attentive eye then present it to a willing and believing person and you have a situation ripe for a seemingly psychic event.

If she were really psychic wouldn't she know you want nothing to do with her?

Answer 3

I don't think this is professional for a professional psychic. I read that one thing they shouldn't do is tell personal things about people in public. I think I've done this before without thinking. I would find out where she lives ...or call her...and tell her that some things are personal and private. Tell her that if she feels she needs to tell you something, to tell you in private. Otherwise, she's just "showing off"...and trying to prove that she's psychic. If you're psychic...you don't have to prove it. It just happens. Or....she could be the town
gossip...listening to what others tell her. (I've been tricked that way too.)
EDIT...try this...next time you see her..start singing a song to yourself..or maybe even outloud.
EDIT...I think that sometimes when psychic's read your mind..they're reading thoughts that THEY put into your mind. (I know that this doesn't apply to the kind of things she's been saying to you.)
EDIT..John S. is right. You need to warn her that she could get into a lot of trouble doing this. She probably doesn't realize people don't like it. (Sometimes preachers will do this too..which is SO WRONG !!)

Answer 4

I would go directly to her ASAP, and I would be quite stern with her as to the things she is saying about you around town. Whether or not she is psychic makes no difference. She needs to be respectful of you and how her mouth effects your life.

Secondly there is nothing you can do to block what a psychic picks up.

Answer 5

Find this woman and tell her to stop talking about you to people. It is rude. You don't care if she is psychic or not. It is an invasion of privacy and she is ruining your visits with your in laws. If she is truly psychic she'll see you are serious.

Answer 6

Here's a test:

The next time you see her, spray her with a garden hose. If she asks, "What'd you do that for?" shrug and tell her, "I don't know, you tell me, you're the psychic."

Let's you know if she's really psychic or just a good reader. Plus you'll get a good laugh.

Answer 7

A friends wife was just like that and they locked her up in a nut house for a while. Just tell her she has no right to blab out personal things about you with out your permission. It's rude and obnoxious. I would slap her if it was me, and tell her it was not you, it was your aura that did it! But that just me!

Answer 8

She needs to keep her mouth shut. I know people who can do this, and it is a serious breach of etiquette even to peek without permission.

You need to speak up and tell her in no uncertain terms to stay out of your head.

Answer 9

you should let her know that although you know she IS gifted telling you these things in the presence of others makes you uncomfortable. ask her to speak with you privately if you want the info., if not ask her to please refrain from giving you this unsolicited info. does she give anyone else with you info.? ever? i think the next step is definitely a private conversation.

Answer 10

Next time she makes an unwelcome comment.Ask her politely to stop.If she doesn't,just laugh at her.Your reactions are what's telling this crone what to say.She's a busybody nothing more.
