Sometimes ive been going along with my friends most of the time its just with one person...infact one guy....one scene is stupid its where we have been going along and in silence and ive answerd the questions on his mind....and another scene i even predicted he needed the toilet even though we was in silence and i told him the easiest way to the men rooms. he kinda just stared at me then afta a while sed thanks ive onli got a few friends and im scared of looseing this one wondering how i can keep it under control because it just seems to pop out my mouth without me thinking if that makes sence
Stuff like that bites, and can be the end of some friendships. But you need to find out the trigger of it, and then work on focusing the trigger.
For me i used to get post and precog when ever i touched something, and had to wear leather gloves of some for even in the summer for like 3 years before I got it fully under control. When Im in a big city I still gotta have a pair close just in case, But for me it was transfered through touch. I touched something and it was the cause, if you can find out what your cause is, Then you will have a better way of getting it under control.
If they are your true friends they will accept you the way that you are, and this is a gift not a curse
Really think about what's going on with this ability. Is it just this one guy, or has this happened with others and you just didn't think about it then?
Once you've figured out when and why it happens, then you can learn to control it. Be patient, because it may take a while before you master it. Until then, figure out when it's appropriate for you to just "pop off" and when you should just keep it to yourself.
A true friend would be cool about this sort of thing but control is also going to have to be big here. You need to learn to think before you speak just so you don't make him freaky uncomfortable.
Sweetheart, if this person can not accept you for who and how you are. Then he is no true friend at all. These abilities are gifts. Not something to be ashamed of. In my experiance, the more you try to shine away from your gifts... the more it will push itself on you.
Why is it that you can sense the ice cream truck from ten blocks away but you can't hear your mum tellin' u to take out the trash??? Spooky!!!
Yes I would like a sh*g... selective what?... oops there I go again... I think I can guess the expletive you'll use in reply
yeah its weird but, like they said you need to keep him and try to watch what you say even though i know its hard to do, and if you trust him enough tell him about it maybe he'll understand
It is a sad thing but a lot of PPL have such abilities yet are treated badly because of it.
U have a gift why should u hide it, perhaps u could try using tac full words so it doesnt sound like u are reading someones mind.
I have to agree with who said if they are your true friends they will accept you for who you are . If they don't they were never your friends at all . Believe me i'm starting to find that out now .
Too many times I wish that I didnt know what some were thinking or wanting without them saying it. I really get frustrated when I mention it and they want me to elaborate more than what they really need to know. Trouble is how much is too much? I have yet to figure that one out.
thanks for the posts back!
I've told tht one guy how I feel. He just gave me a hug and sed it was wicked he said someone has to sort out his mind sumtime cos he wont. We just kinda laufed it off.
though answering one persons message who said is it just this one person? ive been thinkin and the answer is yes! mabye it because i realy care for him! but i didnt tell him that part lol other then that it just happens with objects when ive lost them i can think exactly where they are! whish it happened more then once a day cos i swear i loose everything lol!
I think a true friend would accept this ability and not stop talking to you or ridicule you for having it. I am not really sure how you could gain control over it, I think it just takes time.
If they are a true friend they will accept you as you are and understand it is a gift you have and deal with it.
I am glad to hear he was okay with it when you told him!
I have to agree with some of the other writers. If these person/people can not accept you for who you are then forget them. Trust friends are a dollar in your pocket and that is if you dont have a whole in it. Let them go...work on your gift and make it your own.
With any ability you just have to learn how to control it...
Most people don't welcome the fact that one person can "sense" what is going on with them. It's an invasion of privacy so to speak.
Try keeping your thoughts to yourself with certain people, that's the only advice I can give at this point.
Your true friends would understand about your gifts..Sit down with the friend and explain to Him about things..Most people if You explain things will understand and will be there for you. What I would recomend is You sitting down with this friend and talking to Him about this..instead of hiding it because in the long run being truthfull is the best way to keep friends and to teach friends about what You are..
sounds to me like you just need to tell him whats goin on, like the other above said if he's a true friend then he'll accept you for who you are
Tell him and your friends what's going on.. if they really are your friends they will stick by you.
Yes, think before you speak. You need to learn self-control. My advice would be to meditate. This will also help you control your 'unwanted psychic ability'. It's all about control. ;)
Theres just one problem bout thinkin before uve sed it....i dont actually think before ive sed it. it comes out then i relise ive said it and after relise what ive said hard to explain its lyk not me sayin it yet it is me
Ya i agree that must suck..i kno my friend has psychic ability that she hates she can sense when sumthing awful is going to happen and she hates the pressure and the thoughts that come along with it...
True friends will always accept you for who you truly are.
Just wondering but have sat down and writen some of these things? Like done Spirit writing? It might help get things out.
I am like that with a friend of mine. Her name is Cindy. She and i can read each others minds. I remember we went to dinner with a group we are online friends with, and she just stared at me, and was like that guy Freddy has a nice package, and I immediately just laughed, and thought too bad he is a nerd, and she said the glasses make him look like a geeky Al Hitchcock! We have good times with our abilities.
First, be upfront with your friend and if he can't accept the fact that you have an ability, then he really isn't a very good friend. Second, you need to begin meditating on a regular basis with the intent of controlling this ability so that it is less likely to come at odd times. Third, focus on a planned thought process- practice keeping thoughts that just pop into your head in your head- ask yourself, "why did I think that", if you can find a reason that you thought of something such as a "well that reminded me of this that happened the other day" then you have the excuse of being overly attenative to detail.
I have the same problem and have been working on keeping my mouth shut for years.
Well if your friend is a friend at all they will accept your ability as a part of you and encourage you (as I am going to do) to explore and learn more about your gift. The more you learn the more you will understand it and then you will have some control.
Also stop thinking its a curse, it is hard I know, think more positively and hopefully you will attract like minded people to you, people that understand your situation and can help you to grow and learn :) VR is a great start for that.
I agree with most everyone else. Friends will be there no matter what. But with time you will learn to control your gift.
I think the only reason a psychic ability would be unwanted- is because conservatives had beaten it into the person's head that it was evil. To have keen intuitions is a gift. Take it as that.
hey..it's who you are...I would love to have a friend like that
I have had similar situations happen through out my life. Some people I seem to be more in sync with So I can feel their presents if they are near by or had just been in the place where I stand. I can hear their thoughts as if they were my own and can feel their joy and pain when we are apart..But never had I feared loosing a friend over it.. I can always trust the truth with my true friends as you can trust your true frinds..
I am sorry I'll sound rude but sometimes the best action is no action at all, th ebest words are no words at all.
Act as if you see, feel or ear nothing.
Silence is gold, unless its lifethreathning then just be silent about it.
yes friends are hard to find and sometimes you need to think before you speak but if your friend cant accept you because of your ability than that person is not your true friend
Well this is your gift it is a part of you, it is a part of what makes you who you are, and if your friend can accept that then maybe you need to fins better friends (no offense)
only thing i can think of is try to learn to speak when needed. have you already asked if he minded?
Umm, If he's really a freind he won't care.
If you want to cling to a fake freind, then just don't say anything.
You're one of those people that thinks out loud aren't you?
i can relate to this . the best way to deal with it is act like there crazy for not reambering telling you .. that they had to go to the bath room or tell them that if they go into the next room that YOU hear that there was a guy that got muged or what ever the case may be .. its cool ive been there
all I know is that I am able to control emotions around me...it's quite odd...so I know how you feel..and I don't know how to change it...how to control it
u were gifted,,,,,,,,,,and i know u dont like that word,so u can do something with it,dont waste your powers harness them,if that person is a true friend they will work around it,i have had the same prob. and i did harness mine
Try and determine what is psychic and what is spoken aloud. Then determine if you want your friends to know if you have the ability or not. If yes be open so it doesn't seem odd that you're suggesting the nearest bathroom. If no, learn to hold your tongue.
until you learn the art of silence, I would suggest the truth...real friends except you for who you are...333
In my own experiences I must say that there will come a time that you will figure out that sometimes its a good thing you have a special connection with certain people. Especially if communication is bad with words at the time.
That being said, if you really want to know what's causing this problem/complication/communication you should see if you have any history, any past life experiences with this person. It might point you in the right direction.
Just do what your heart tells you and you should be fine. :)
Is it just with this one person that you have this ability with? If so it is usually a sign that he is meant for you...
Your powers are you there is no way to get rid of them, you can block them and its simply that you have to convinve yourself that it isnt real or it doesnt exist but it takes awhile and its not easy, I dont recommend it because it can come back full force, also sometimes when we are afraid of losing somthing we wrap our energy around it so that we can also have it and you needing and wanting friends is your thing that you fear losing so therefore your energy is mixing with your friends and you are picking up his thoughts, if he and others ae real freinds it will work out, wuit worrying cause otherwise it will just get worse
ive had the ability to see things in dreams ive done it since i was 4 and it seems like everytime someone in my family is in trouble i get these bad craps ..for like an hour...when i was 4 i dreamed a grocery store was burning down and the nexted day my parents went and checked and yep it did
I've has simular experiences but mostly with my family. It's happened a few times with close friends. Like the others have already said it's just another ability, you have to learn to control & it is an ability not a curse, it's a part of you and if ur friends can't except it, they r not worth having.
It is a special link. you have the gift of empathy, which can be a wonderful gift that can bring you closer to people. much closer than ordinary people. you are special, and the right kind of friends will truly appreciate this. of course, the wrong sort of friends will be totally freaked out by it.
such abilities can be a gift or a curse - it is up to you which; but like it or not - you are stuck with it. it is part of who you are, you just have to learn to treasure this gift and treasure yourself. Don't fight it - follow it, go with it, and eventually you will learn to control it. the key is to accept it.
Remember, if someone truly loves you, they will want to share their thoughts and feelings with you.
That sucks and I know how it feels. But you just need to learn that if they are friends they won't care how you are.
you are gifted with such an ability. Just learn how to control it, use it and make the best out of it! I'm sure it will soon stop being a problem and will become a very handy tool ;-)
Lol, would love to be able to do that. Like everyone else says, try to get it under control, for example, trying reading people but not pointing out what there thinking >.<
My answer is soooo obvious >.<
This thread's been around for a while, I just posted in three that started today and they're all already dead.
Like I said earlier, your friend shouldn't care. And just try not to speak anything out loud unless you want it to be heard.
when you dont want it it sux alot but if you learn to live with it it very well may come in handy
Things like that have alway happen to me, all through out my life. When things like that happen. Normally I just let it pop out of my mouth. True friends will stick by you & accept the little weird quirky things you do like that. After a while, they get used to it, & kinda expect them from you. I wouldn't try to hide it with your friends, if you do, then your hiding a part of yourself from them. So then how would they really be your friends, if they don't really know you? Just my opinion, but the true ones will stick by you & even possibly encourage you to embrace your talent.
Sometimes that happens to me...like ill just say something that someone was thinking, but mostly i pass it off to coinsidence lol. i wish i had that tho! lol.
Perhaps you could carry around a small pad and a pen start writing things down at random and perhaps while you are seeking out your cause of these visions instead of saying them you could write them down.
Your friends should accept you for who and what you are. Everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin, sometimes it's hard, but if you surround yourself with the right understanding people you can make it.
Couldn't have put it better myself Jessica, be yourself, learn to control it & use it, it's a gift, if you're friends are worth having they will accept it as part of you.
and if they don't accept it then they was never your friend.
That's hard.
Well first, you should find a teacher who will show you how to harness the ability and take control of it, tone it down a bit.
Second, try to think before you say anything when you're around people that might be wary of it. Just be on guard until you have it under control.
But it is true...If your friend can't deal with what you are, then you need to find some friends that understand. No friend is worth the effort if they disapprove of things that you cannot control.
Just focus on what you are doing more and how you feel and learn to control it
i agree with most on this thread. if they are a true friend they will accept the idea. but then again on the other hand, i keep it to myself as well because you dont want to run off any good friends and people that since saying something are afraid of the fact. so it does go both ways.

Infernalmage, the gift you speak of in which you use touch to sense things is called Clairsentience or it is also known as psychometry. I too have that gift.
As far as the current discussion, the gifts we possess are ours for a purpose.... If you fear the loss of a friend because you can do something they can not, the easiest thing is to just not say what you know they have not said.... Have you ever thought perhaps that maybe it is merely one person because you are meant to help and guide them or even protect them? I'm not saying that is your purpose for them, but just another way of thinking on it.
cemeteryclown brought up a good point here.....writing it down instead of saying it will help a lot....people won't get freaked out...or upset...
If your friend stops hanging out with you over something like that then he really is no friend at all, and you need to find better ones who will support you...
meditation hun try doing that it might help you not to hear the thoughts so much i hate it to but that has helped me.
controling the mind and controling the mouth are two different but equally important things. Alot of ppl can not handle knowing that you see their thoughts, so it is best to keep these things to yourself unless it is something you feel feel moved to speak of.
what? that would make a friendship with me even stronger! i can be practicly mute sometimes, having a slightly psychic friend would be amazing! befriend mute people with open minds if you want my advice.
It's been said before, but you need to find yourself a mentor who can help you to control your abilities. That is priority number one.
get a real friend... but good luck there hard to come by these days.....
if they wont accept you . F#$@ them right in there hershey highway and be on with your gift with out them
Maybe you can find a way to bind your powers if you really don't want them.
Perhaps if you can learn to focus and gain control of this power you would be able to deal with it better.
gifts are sometimes trouble-till we learn how to set limits you will be fine it just takes patience
i mean if you freak some one out with clairvoiance they may then think its evil just casue it scares them
If I had a friend like that I would look at them and say "You're so awesome." Thats all I'd say heh...
I would love to hav the gift. I would sue it to help and to warn people of dangers. I think its unfoiurtunate that some people that do have the gift dont even want it where there are so many people that would lov to have one as a friend.
The only thing that you can do to keep from seeping this gift away is to practice it. If you practice it will get stronger. You have to have a strong faith in what you are doing. This person is your friend so be careful not to intimidate or harm them. With a gift like that you must be humble but faithful.
I agree that if people are really friends then they accept you as you are. I have a friend who's sentances I can finish. She can do the same thing. But I dont think I'm psychic or any of that. We've just been friends for a really long time and know how the other thinks.
also if you still want to keep your friends then just learn how to control your powers or atleast control them where you do not weird your friends out
you can not get rid of your psychic power, And it is hard for some people to take it when they are told u have a psychic power
If you get the feeling where you know something the other person wants or needs or is thinking, stop and think yourself, do you know this because of your ability or because the person said something, make a decision wether to speak your thought or not based on that
Well, i know it is a common reflex, but try not to say anything unless they ask first.
I use if for a lot of things.
healing, mischeif, being naughty...
I find it useful not unwanted.
If they are really your friend, they will accept you as you are and that includes accepting your psychic gifts that you have.
My best friend has some abilities and she tries hiding them, shes had a troubled life and ppl have thought she was crazy and wanted to commit her....so be greatful your friends dont think you are a nutjob. If they did, they wouldnt be your friends.
the next time that you are around this person, make a mental "note" to keep your presence out of their mind..allow your energy to surround, but not invade them. hope this helps.
let me clarify...you need to discipline yourself to distance yourself from that person's mental space...practice and it comes with time...
yep, you need to learn how to control it, once you do so you sure won't want to trade your little gift in anymore ;)
I have personally lost friends due to similar situations. I also have lost other friends when I tried to let them know about my gift. My "real" friends have accepted my gifts and are fine with them.
But like it has been said many times already, you must learn control. Once you control them, they will be a great asset to you.
