Have you read that book I recommended yet? An End to Upside Down Thinking by Mark Gober?
It might be a huge help and consolation to anyone who sees, hears, or otherwise senses things that others around them cannot. I am not gifted in this way, but I don't doubt that some others are. The problem being that there is almost no way for us common folk to determine the veracity of such things. And so we generally throw the baby out with the bath water. Because it's safer to disbelieve, than to believe in the wrong person.

No, not yet. I did put it away in my book folder to look at later.
Safer than believing the wrong person is a very real thing.
I personally have no trust for "psychics" or nearly anyone using a gift like that as a job, though do have fun fucking with them some and do understand the energy exchange well (some of them really do have something but like you insinuated, which one can you trust?). Its sort of like a prostitute. Why on earth would I ever have sex with one? I've known plenty. The ones I've known all perceive sex the same way... as a job. That is the most boring way anyone could ever look at sex. Like seriously, talk to a prostitute about sex sometime. The average paid guru is similar. If they really had something at one point, it's now a job. You can tell by how they are rich and you can find them easily online what their real focus is. A prostitute may know more positions than the next person yet for me it's ruined what sex is by stripping the passion from it and making it a task. Yet, for some it's exactly what they truly needed for some internal reason and they are potentially the reason my daughter didn't get raped on the way to school.
So I can't even call those people (psychics, people lining their pockets with the suffering, or desire for enlightenment, of others for their own gain) things like false profits or heretics or whatever other name. I don't trust them, or believe what they do is right, yet I also know they have purpose. Because I know that there are some people that actually do really need to be fooled by those people in that very way. I also know that the prostitutes of the world have learned things that none of the rest of us have. Things that I'm certain some of us could benefit from learning. All repetition is learning something.
Actually that reminds me of Gangubai Harjeevandas. Sold into prostitution slavery by her "boyfriend". Created a hell of a movement from what she learned.
Indeed. Stage psychics and others who do cold reading (or even warm reading) are total charlatans, and yet they serve a purpose for some people. They can help a grieving person feel better, or set someone's mind free of guilt, for example. But I find it very difficult to believe in them.
I did once visit a psychic that my mom fully believed in. But I still don't know if she was the "real deal" or not. She had about as many hits as misses. Doesn't matter, I suppose. I helped an old lady pay her rent, and she gave me some interesting nuggets to do with as I wished.
The learning part though...when you learn a lesson the hard way, I'd say most people want to help others avoid having to do the same. At least that's been my experience. The more people I can save from the horrors of disordered eating, the better. I'll never make a movement out of it, but I've definitely influenced a few lives for the better.
Now, let's try this again...

Exactly and in that realm... you are the guide to anyone listening and taking your advice. and since it comes from your person its the most meaningful.
yea psychics are mostly terrible lol. I helped a friend away from a predatory one once. I could not believe she could not see what this woman was doing, she would have taken so much more money from her and was setting her up for continued need of her "help". It was like, by the book. It was actually a carbon copy of something I saw in a tv show... I didn't really have to try to see it lol. so all i had too do was show her the show and she was able to see how obvious it was but it was so strange witnessing her not able to see it prior. Like there was some need or gap that hearing all her made up shit was filling
