Am I physic? (Honest answer, no **** please!!!)?
I know that most of you people think that physicity is a load of ****, but I'm wondering...?
I have had a couple different things come true (READ THEM!)-
1-I thought something was wrong with mky great aunt, and sure neouhg, she was getting abused in her nursing home.
2- I thought that Shawny or Mr. McGruff (my aunts dogs) were going to get hit near the mailbox. Sure enough, Shawny did. He died...RIP!
3- I thought that something HORRIBLE was going to happen to my sister, liek soem big accident or soemthing...Sure enough...She got pregnant at 16.
4- I felt something bad was going to happen to my uncles knee (he got is all jacked up in the air force). Sure enough...He had a tumor thingyyyy in it.
5- I thought something was going to happen to my gereat aunt again, and sure enough!!!--- She got sick again and almost died.
Is this just a hightened instinct, or am I 'physic'?
NO SHITTY ANSWERS PLEASE!
Okay, well....Sorry. I spelled it wrong! Hahahha. ANyways, I am unsure. I am not paranoid, just once in a while I get these feelings that some SPECIFIC thing is going to happen. There have been good things, but I don't feel liek naming them. They're personal. I kniow everybody is physic (shut the **** up!!!) to some extent, but I think I am greater then most.
I HAVE SEEN GOOD THINGS! I AM ONLY 11 SO I HAVEN'T BEEN 'TESTED' FOR THIS! GODDAMN!
Just saying this: I do not want to do anything with this...I don't care. I don't want this 'power thingyy' anyways. I want to be normal, okay? Don't tell me to channel it or anything!

Yep. Very powerful occurances such as these lead me to believe that you have a natural gift. Learn to embrace it, and try to do something about the negative 'vibes' you will get at times. Try to stop them, if possible. Your instinct is one of the strongest parts of you, you can learn to use it to help people.

It is very possible you are psychic, if not that, a very strong intuition. But let me just advise you not to take advantage of this gift. This is a gift that can be rewarding, or lead to spiritual darkness. I have a psychic person in my family, and at first, she went the wrong way, turning to tarot cards and other sources of practical magic to heighten her psychic ability. Sophist it to say, a curse came back to haunt the family from centuries ago, and it was fully realized the mistake of delving into the supernatural world. The supernatural world is not to be messed with. Though, I think there is great credibility to horoscopes and numerology, I think it is a territory to be careful in. Take this from a person who is NOT a religious zealot by the way, and don't be sucked into "white magic" either. Magic is never a good thing. I hope in the future you can work as a honest to God psychic. My mother attended a psychic who could just look at the person and tell them their future, in a very cryptic, but correct fashion not using any sort of tool to guide him. I hope you can be like that some day, but as said before, be careful spiritually, because being psychic is a door that can open up to a lot of dark things when taken advantage of.

You're just paranoid that bad things are going to happen to people, and it just so happens that bad things happen to people a lot. Unless you have more specific visions (i.e., you think a specific, otherwise healthy relative is going to be diagnosed with a specific disease at a certain time of the year), and some visions of things that aren't negative (cause why would you just predict bad things, really?), and they too come true, then you have no reason to chalk this up to anything but coincidence, especially if you've had similar feelings that DIDN'T come true.
Note: I once had a dream that a girl, who I had no way of knowing was attracted to me, had a crush on me and was going to tell me soon. The next day, she did. But that doesn't mean I'm psychic; I had similar dreams about two other girls that never came true. And I wasn't just having these dreams cause I was into these girls; only one was even attractive. But the thing is, when the dream about the one girl did come true, I thought it was really strange. However, I never noticed that the other ones didn't come true until I really started thinking about it. Funny how that works, isn't it?
This phenomenon is called a selection bias; it means that once you get a notion in your mind, evidence that supports that notion will be more noticeable and seem more significant, while evidence that contradicts the notion will be harder to notice and seem less significant. Hence, you wind up thinking you have strong evidence for an idea even when the evidence actually contradicts it, and by no fault of your own, either: it's just a quirk of the mind.
I had this same problem with the ideas of divining rods and divining pendulums. Even long after I'd become the hardcore, naturalistic atheist I am today, I maintained a firm belief that somehow, maybe due to magnetic waves or something, divining rods could detect water and divining pendulums could detect the gender of an animal or a pregnant woman's baby. I believed this because my parents told me these things worked when I was young, then showed me how they worked, and I believed them. I had seen divining rods detect water and divining pendulums detect gender so many times I thought they couldn't possibly be fake. But eventually, after hearing enough arguments from fellow atheists, I decided to put them to an objective test.
I tried using divining rods where I knew there was water to see if they reacted. They didn't. Then I thought maybe my father knew some trick to using them that I didn't. But I immediately recalled several times when he had used divining rods and gotten very inaccurate results.
Well, I thought, maybe divining rods are a myth, but I'm absolutely sure about the pendulums! So I tested those. The way divining pendulums are supposed to work, at least the ones used for determining gender, is as follows: You thread a pure silver needle, then stick the needle into the eraser of a pencil, preferably one sharpened down to about half the length of a new pencil. Then you hold it over an animal or a pregnant woman's wrist. If the pencil swings back and forth, the animal/baby is male. If it swings around in a circle, it's a female. When held over an inanimate object, it doesn't move at all.
So I tried testing this. Every test I did confirmed that the divining pendulums worked. But then I tried testing them a little more rigorously, just to be absolutely sure. The naysayers claimed that the pendulum worked due to something called the idiometer effect, which causes a person with previously held expectations to unconsciously influence events to meet those expectations. In this case, one would move one's hand subconsciously so as to make the pendulum swing as one expected it to. So I tried hanging the pendulum from something other than my hand, then placing my dogs (one male and female) under it to see if it would move. It didn't, but I supposed this was due to a need for a hand holding the top of the string to provide magnetic or electric fields or something. So I then placed my hand at the top of the string, while it was still suspended from my desk. It still didn't move, and this I supposed was due to the desk acting as a ground to cancel the required magnetic/electrical fields. So I tried just using my hand again, as I had originally, but by this time I was doubting a little bit. And I found that, when I doubted the string would move, it didn't. It just hung slack. So then I imagined in my mind the string moving back and forth, and it immediately began to do so as soon as the thought popped into my head. I imagined it moving in circles, and it did. I imagined it hanging still, and it did. I examined the situation carefully and saw that, sure enough, I was very subtly, totally subconsciously, moving the top of the string with my hand. From any considerable distance, the motion was totally invisible, but it was enough to move the string.
So the idiometer effect was real. The divining rods and divining pendulums weren't. It was all in my head. I was honestly shocked when I realized I had been so utterly bamboozled by a simple trick of the mind. But it taught me an important lesson, too.

hmm i would say look into it. go onto the web and look at legit looking sites with information about this kind of stuff.
Do some of ur own test runs. i find that letting the information run out of u helps. its like u have a feeling right?
so as soon as u get it write it down, tell someone who is around u. etc. it works because the more u find ur right the more confident u get in ur ability. ( i know because i am like u )
dont get freaked though. just go with it. its a god given gift and it should be used not abused.
u can email me if u need more info or just want to know how i handle it!!

no. this happens 2 many ppl in a stage in life where they decide 2 b perceptive and instinctive. studies show that this is a normal phase of life that many ppl go through. it is happening with me 2. i was meditating and saw my great aunts death in my head. she died exactly 24 hours later. that was the strongest one. the others were just tv shows and ppl doing things. i went 2 a docter and they told me how normal it was in my stage of life. they did the test and verified that by finding the chemical that your boddy releases that gives many ppl these "premonitions." it is a totally normal thing that a lot of ppl go through. u r not psychic

Apparently you have not had any strict testing. For over ten years there has been a million dollars waiting for the first person that can simply prove what they claim. Since this has not happened yet, there is no such person. You must be aware of possible self-deception.

You know being psychic is very common in women. Im not just saying that but this sterotype that all psychics are women is exaggerated but very true at the same time. It is very possible that you have a feel for things and those things come true. I don't think anyone can give you a definite answer but it is very likely that you have psychic abilities.

Scientists have been quite baffled by the popularity of astrology during the 20th Century, and dozens of careful studies have been carried out to see if there is any actual correlation between the positions of the planets at an individual's birth, and any attribute of the individual in later life. NO statistically valid study has ever shown ANY connection, relation or correlation that would give ANY support to ANY part of astrology. There is no scientific question, there is no scientific controversy, concerning astrology -- it definitely does NOT work.
