The Top Five Habits of Annoying Psychics
It’s not always easy to own the psychic or intuitive profession. So many of us on this path come to it only after spending months or years worrying about what other people will think of our work and profession. Time and time again, I work with Soul Realignment students and Practitioners on “coming out of the psychic closet.”
And then there are those psychics who are so determined to “be okay” with this job that they swing way over into the other direction! They seem oblivious to social intolerance. In fact, they seem determined to knock people over the head into full-fledged acceptance of their psychic gifts – whether they like it or not.
Unfortunately, it’s these very well-meaning, over-the-top psychics give the rest of us a bit of a bad name. Stepping out of the psychic closet for the world to see is one thing. Trying to shove psychic abilities into the face of a disinterested world is another. Here are the top five habits of annoying psychics:
- They can’t listen to you tell a story without getting a far-off look in their eyes. Invariably, they’ll begin their next sentence with “What I’m getting is ….” This will be followed by a full-fledged, on-the-spot channeling session that you did not ask for.
- They will call you and let you know that your Guides have an important message for you. Apparently, you were unavailable when your Guides tried to talk to you. Interestingly enough, your Guides will choose the annoying psychic as a go-between, even if you don’t know the annoying psychic well or don’t even particularly like them.
- They can’t have a conversation with you without name-dropping one Archangel or at least an Ascended Master that they regularly communicate with. Most popular on the Archangel buddy list would be Michael.
- They will insistently give you information you didn’t ask for, didn’t want, and have no use for in any practical application. However, the annoying psychic will stress how very, very important this information is, not just to you, but to the entire planet/galaxy/Universe.
- They will insist that they are correct. Any lack of resonance you feel with their information is because you are obviously disconnected from Truth, and therefore in even greater need of their invaluable assistance.
We love the spiritual realm. We know it’s real, and an invaluable resource. We also must honor that everyone comes into recognition of their spiritual resources in their own perfect and Divine timing.
Let’s not be annoying psychics.
Blessings,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
I SO agree with everything you have said, we have our free-will and ‘choice’…unfortunatly these “well meaning souls” have a lot to learn about “ego”!!!
I am a Metaphysical Teacher and my guidance ALWAYS give people choices, recognising that everyone has their own unique path and no two people are going to “do it” the same way!
Years ago when I was working in a Crystal Shop a particular lady would come in and go up to complete strangers and tell them they needed “healing” and promptly put her hands on them! She would also tell them that she was being told that they HAD to buy a particular Crystal….she frightened many customers away!
There’s a fine line between “coming out of the “psychic closet” and “shouting from the rooftops”!!!
Namaste,
Lin

Andrea, I found this article hilarious, beginning with the first point: “They can’t listen to you tell a story without getting a far-off look in their eyes.”. LOL.
I’ve never actually run into a person like this, but in other life areas I’ve often seen people who take things a bit too far and are oblivious to how absurd they appear.
On the other end of the spectrum, I love the intuitive Mary Occhino, who I listen to most weekdays on the satellite radio. Often people will breathlessly call to tell her of things that go bump in the night, and she’ll tell them to go fix the loose shutter outside their window.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your abundance of common sense.
So True…
We have all felt inclined to tell people what we are picking up around them and it seems to be the people who are least connected spiritually and think you are off your rocker!!! Thanks for the straight up advice….If you have anymore advice on how to grow a business around one’s psychic ability I would be very interested. Thanks again!!!

THANK YOU for that Andrea! That was so funny and so very real! What I would love to add to your wonderful article, is that those types of psychics (the annoying ones who are giving us all a bad name) act that way from their ego, not their soul. I believe that they have a need to be recognized. If they were purely acting from spirit, they would KNOW that the info we get is not OF us, it comes THROUGH us, (it ISNT ABOUT US) and that it is completely unethical as a professional practitioner of psychic arts, to approach anyone at anytime with something they did not ask for. What I also make up, is that they are of the belief that they are “special” or “different” when the fact is, we are ALL wired to be six sensory, and if they really want to make a difference, they’d put their energies into helping people help themselves…by deepening their own awarenesses. I have actually stopped doing straight readings for this reason. I noticed a tendency for clients to get too dependent on any info I could get for them, and I dont believe that is the best thing for our clients. THEY need to do “their work”. And so, I have chosed to blend my intuitive work directly into my coaching,…to help others develop their most valuable resource….themselves.
I am a VERY new reader of yours….and I LOVED this article….you got me girl! I am now a devoted reader!
Much Love & Laughter to you!

Hello,
)
Have you ever had one with an important message that you needed to come over and hear but since you are on the way– can you stop by the grocery store and pick up a few things- I just happen to have a list ready……….
Oh yeah, it really happened…..
I’m more on the client end of things. I didn’t realize it could get *this* bad, but I have had some annoying psychic experiences (not to mention unhelpful and unsupportive, while being proffered as the Truth, just as you said).
One incident happened at a book fair. I was there offering my book for writers and a fellow author, an intuitive from Santa Fe, was there offering her book on self-awareness. I was at her booth, chatting about my fears of putting myself more into the public with my book, when she got that faraway look in her eye. She then pronounced that she had looked into my aura and could see this limitation was about Judgments I was holding.
First of all, she scared the pants off me with her low-voiced, melodramatic way of announcing this. It took me right back to childhood and that fear of being in trouble. Secondly, it was intrusive. When did I give her permission to do that? Thirdly, this did not make me want to avail myself of her services.
“Why?” she might ask. Because she did the opposite of winning my trust. Trust is the first indicator I look for when choosing someone to work with. And I wasn’t impressed with her method of proving how psychic she is.
Andrea, thanks for another great article. And your new site is gorgeous!
Andrea, this is right on!! I love your post…I was in gales of laughter due to its(unfortunate!!)truth! Great post!
Thanks for being ‘out there’ to positively promote all of those who are wanting to very respectfully provide high quality intuitive services to our clients….with permission from clients! And thanks for letting people know that we can all learn to develop and trust our own intuitive skills.
Andrea – THIS is EXACTLY why I’ve been struggling with in calling myself a professional psychic – instead of something like an “intuitive consultant”. It’s more obscure – but less flaky. The word “psychic” has a bad rep… When I think of the work psychic I think of psychic fair charlatans – because that is what I’ve always heard from those around me. Hence the reticence.
Has “professional psychic” worked better for you than “professional intuitive (consultant)”?

Once a few years ago I was in my favorite metaphysical bookstore when I saw an older woman chase a couple and their child to the door of the store to tell them something that her guide had told her about their child. Needness to say, she scared the couple with information they didn’t ask for and weren’t prepared to handle. They couldn’t get out of the store fast enough and probably never came back.
What I saw was a woman desperate to sell her psychic abilities to people who weren’t even interested. This woman was supposed to be a world famous psychic. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time. If I had ever considered having this woman do a reading for me, she changed my mind with her demonstration in the bookstore. She didn’t quietly pull the couple aside and gently give them the information. She scared them away with her aggressiveness. Everybody in the store could hear the information that she was directed to tell the couple. Her behavior was totally unprofessional and inappropriate.
Andrea, I love this post. It’s about really trusting that we have our answers…that we are connected to spirit… I’ve learned that I need to listen… I’m good at listening to others, but not always to my own intuition… Thank you..
I don’t yet have the confidence to think myself worthy to even try to be a professional intuitive consultant – but as a “client”, I wouldn’t listen to a word told to me by such people as described here. Such behavior, to me, would indicate a large degree of unawareness.
As an aside…in reading this and other such sites I note a remarkable paucity of men. What’s the deal with that?
What a great site. Lots of information and well written. 5 stars.
This was a hilarious article and as a professional intuitive i found great humor in it. I also was a trained psycho therapist, so the psychic part was something, that took me a while to accept, publicly. I especially like the far away look, cause I DO do that. I really do see visions and look up and to the right when they come through. Someitmes I close my eyes. When I did a tape for a show, they asked me where are u looking and I explained that is how i access visions. your periphereal vision is the opening of your third eye.. That is why we think we see ghosts, out of the corner of our eyes, cause we do! I promise you though , I don’t where a turbin. I still found the article humourous and well written.
Thx for posting this! Very true. Very funny. You ALWAYS tell it like it is.. I love that!
Hi Andrea!
I know that this is not a recent post, but I stumbled upon it for what seems to be a VERY good reason; I used to do ALL of it. What an eye opener. Thank you so much for the post! I stopped telling strangers what their “guides” revealed to me because it just felt intrusive. I did it one time and that was enough for me.
Years ago I got a message in for a co-worker that I really didn’t know, and it was a message that a woman was going to steal her identity. I struggled for days on if I should tell her, and then finally decided that if the shoe was on the other foot, I would want to be told. So into her office I went, and told her. Thank goodness she wasn’t weirded out about it….perhaps because I had the name of the woman who was going to do it. She told me the woman was her best friend and she had planned on having lunch with her that day…but because of the warning, canceled it. 2 weeks later she was called by another friend who was sobbing because this girl had stolen her identity, credit cards, etc and it was a real mess.
I guess it’s all about HOW you do it. But after that I really didn’t want to be the one who goes around warning strangers of impending doom, so I kind of “took myself of the spiritual list” of people willing to do this kind of work. Now, I do it for my bookkeeping clients, as a “Financial Intuitive,” but ONLY if they ask for it, and it has helped them tremendously. Normally, if people don’t directly ask for it, it won’t help them anyway, and they tend to “run” when they see you coming!
