i dont believe i’m psychic but sometimes my friend will say “guess what” and i’ll guess what…or sometimes i will say “this song is coming on next” out of my 1200 song shuffle, and it’ll come on next. and i’m good at reading people. and i have dreams come true a lot (maybe deja vu but still)
is this just a SZ delusion??? i wish i could be psychic. i believe in the power of everyone being psychic but not sure if i believe in myself enough. i read a lot of spiritual books and whatnot. can i be psychic? or should i give up on this because it’s a SZ delusion.
i want to be a writer/environmentalist/psychic
but that’s a lot.
but that’s how my astrological sign works…we are always changing.
I really honestly feel the same way. The other day I was in a therapy group and she made us play a round of charades. I just knew I was going to get the mickey mouse card while we went around and finally I pulled the mickey mouse card and was thankful I was practicing how the hell I was going to act like mickey mouse the whole time or I probably would have frozen up with stage fright. I still kinda did. I feel like I experience this way more than anyone else around me. I also fear it’s just an occasional delusion. I don’t always feel this way but it comes and goes.
Predicting things reinforces the belief I find. I dream about stuff that happens all the time, and get that feeling of De Ja vu every time it happens. When I first became psychotic at 17, I made an absolute idiot out of myself by trying to convince all of my ‘friends’. As you can imagine, it probably made most of them run a mile.
I think that we might be instinctively psychic in some ways but are moving away from this awareness and relying more on technology, because we have a natural instinct to create new and useful things for ourselves that make life more interesting and convenient from our uniquely human point of view. The animals on the other hand are perfectly happy with their own ways of doing things.
Yeah all I would say if there was any truth to this , then magicians, lottery winners , poker players , and generally punters of all shades would be generally more inclined to be psychotic. Are they? No they are not.
I agree this too to an extent. When I start “Trying too hard” to be psychic, it doesn’t come. it’s when I’m not looking for it that I start coming to psychic revelations. And I read a book that said this will happen.
I wasn’t very intuitive when I was 19, but through SZ, I’ve been forced to “gain a psychic awareness” to better make sense of reality. Maybe when I’m 50 I can open my own shop and say “I’m a psychic, get a reading”
I wonder if theres a difference in being physic and just plain psychotic. the term psychotic feels like a loaded term for me. I don’t feel like im a psycho. yet they use the fraise anytime I’ve got extra people in my head telling me im psychic. I love the sound of being psychic. the term psychotic sort of scares me.
I also think I can predict things like that. It’s not like I think I should sit down with a crystal ball or anything, more intuitive like people are saying here.
I have clairaudience (hearing things before they happen), clairvoyant dreams with accompanying intense deja vu, and sometimes I can predict random-selection events (who is calling / when the phone will ring, what song will play next in a random shuffle, which card someone will pull from a deck, what someone will say next).
In the past, I believed several of the voices I heard were spirits haunting my house, trying to contact me or warn me. This became very stressful. Then I believed they were demons trying to control me. Then I decided appearing normal was more important (to everyone around me) than outwitting the demons no one else could hear…
I believed in psychic phenomena as a kid, and I’d like to believe in it still, but I’ve become much more cynical in my adulthood. I deal with ‘psychic powers’ thoughts the same way I deal with ‘intense paranoia’ thoughts – accept it, let it pass, don’t engage, and then maybe (if it’s really bothering me) do some questioning and challenge the belief.
I do like to play with tarot once in a while, though, and I enjoy using the Ouija board and other forms of “divination”. Now I believe it’s about 50/50 belief in the occult/generating answers from our own subconscious.
When I was delusional I thought I knew all about everything that was happening in the world and I would get visions showing me that I was completely right about everything I believed. boy was I wrong. that’s a relief actually.
