So....
What have you found to be “contact” in terms of how it shows up when a reader predicts it?
I have a theory. I’ve had contact predictions that lined up to times where poi has just been watching my stories more on SM.
Wondering what your experiences were with this....
-
I have had contact mean a FB post or profile picture change. Things I end up seeing that give a bit more info. Even Yona said I would get contact it would not be back and forth but it would be an update. That was on the ex posting he was in a relationship.
-
Well this is unsettling lol
-
Lol, RRW 😂
I believe indirect contact counts as well:- hearing from a mutual friend/family member/ANYONE other than your POI *about* your POI

Really?!
Gosh

It SHOULD NOT count IMO, but yes. I’ve heard several psychics in the past back when POI and I used to be “off”) mention this. Yona included. However, she would tell you what she felt the contact was (direct/indirect). She was wrong with her feeling (for me) mind you, but yes, indirect contact could also, potentially, qualify.
-
I would say, no, IMO. Usually a contact prediction is around the topic of when they will be in touch with me/ reach out etc- using those kinds of words. I’ve had a previous POI watch my stories every single day without fail but when I asked the better readers if he’d be in touch, they said no. He did not get in touch. So if them updating their own social media in a way that has nothing to do with you etc is what is meant or someone else is talking about them then the person predicting is just wrong.
-
Well in my case the FB post did affect me as we were dating and all of a sudden no break up just him in another relationship. That's what Yona saw as an update I would get.

It’s different if they specify that you’ll get an update, that makes sense, that’s not the same as them getting into contact with you. If someone tells you that you will be in contact with someone/ they’ll reach out to you and what actually happens is you see them put something on their own social media that doesn’t include you, I don’t see how they can be considered right. That is really stretching the meaning of “contact”.

But the fact is that we are expecting the psychic to know what they are seeing. They get bits or pieces or just see something the do or say affecting us. It is what they may guess is contact but isn't always the case. Yonas words before it will be an update were that I would hear from him again. That it wasn't back and forth it would be an update. The majority of psychics guess at the little they can see.
-
Yona has never worked for me in the slightest so I can’t speak for her and what she means.
-
When they say they see a contact they also say medium like social media or text/call...someone changing profile pic or an Instagram post aint a contact...smh
Contact only means talking or chatting with POI in my opinion
So if someone blocks someone and psychic says I see a contact how can you even know what is POI upto?

Maybe it’s only specific to Yona but I agree with @maggs30 that Yona does consider updates or posts on social media as a form of “contact”. In my reading Yona said I would get contact from an ex or a person of interest and it wasn’t a message being directly conveyed to me and there was no strategy behind it. Yona specifically talked about the contact was by seeing photos on social media. I will add that Yona repeated this twice in my reading and used the word contact via social media.
When we think of the word “contact”, we’re hoping a psychic is talking about physical direct contact but “contact“ is so broad. A psychic really needs to describe the circumstances of the contact rather than a broad statement like, “you will be hearing from your poi.” In today’s world most people are spending their time on social media and posting updates about their lives. Lots of people like millennials or Gen Z who spend a lot of time on their phones do consider social media as a form of contact.

Besides Yona every other psychic just says contact not what kind unless you ask them specifically. I have read with over 200 psychics over 3 years and about 3 guys. Very rarely have I ever had to ask about contact, but when I have most are wrong or it is indirect within the time they see. IMHO if you are blocked its time to move on. If they do come back are they really the type of person that would consistently make you happy. Everyone is wasting their money on someone who doesn't have the capacity or desire to make them happy.

well all I have realized is this, the forum is filled with negativity and amateurs ...who have no clue how things are and how they work,,, good luck to all
-
Contact predictions are a slippery slope, imo. Some readers are clear that contact doesn’t = reconciliation and some are vague. I like contact predictions so I can be prepared and know what I want to say. I dislike them because it’s not always clear what that contact will mean.
-

Most of your past posts are negative and you have called psychics you don't like derogatory names so don't call people being realistic on expectations negative or amateur. Many of us have been here a long time and know that very few psychics are actually gifted. Those that are gifted are generally only about 70ish% correct. Have fun waiting and hoping for things that will never pass with keen, CP, PO psychics.
-
This is why I'm trending away from convoluted, multi-layered cryptic readers.
Contact means:
the state or condition of communicating or meeting.
communicate with (someone), typically in order to give or receive specific information.
Calls/texts/chat messages/emails/talking F2F= contact.
-
The original question was not what we feel psychics should mean when they say contact or the definition of contact. It was if it could be considered the contact the psychic picks up. I stand by my feelings that most aren't strong enough to know what they are seeing. Heck 95% of psychics aren't psychic at all and just guess. Most "contact" predictions don't happen especially if you have been out of contact awhile. I would never hold onto hope of a contact prediction.
-
I completely agree about them painting the rosey picture for contact. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone on here say well maybe they are reading him wanting to contact but he doesn't I would be a millionaire. I'm so much happier without getting readings and false hope. I just text my dude and say yo what's the deal dude lol
-
I am the same way.
I am 90% sure I posted my response yesterday but it's not here so apparently the powers that be didn't want me to say all that and needed me to rephrase, lol.
Here is my 2 cents...
IMO, I am going to side with Purple Rain.
I am researcher by default, always have been, always will be.
Contact to me is has to be absolute direct contact as in calls, texts, emails, sliding into my dm's, or social media comments made directed towards me.
I typically need to see or hear the facts or evidence to believe something to be true.
That being said there is a minor gray area (MINOR)... If a POI likes your posts or pictures, I don't look at that as "contact" persay but an acknowledgment that you still exist and they see you.
If someone is watching your stories or what not and never say anything then I am sorry they are just a troll and shouldn't been entertained at all.
Maybe it's just me because I am someone who is super direct and straightforward with others that if I want to talk to you or have something to say then I'll reach out. Otherwise, I won't bother with you.
-
But, the title of this thread is "The definition of contact'
Lmao @ 95% aren't psychic just guessing...Sad thing is you're probably right.
The original question was not what we feel psychics should mean when they say contact or the definition of contact. It was if it could be considered the contact the psychic picks up. I stand by my feelings that most aren't strong enough to know what they are seeing. Heck 95% of psychics aren't psychic at all and just guess.

LMAO yeah the title says definition but the original post is what actually happens when they say contact. I think we all feel the same that they say contact constantly and nothing happens or something happens and its not what we expect it to mean.

This. We don’t need the literal definition of contact. We all already know what the textbook definition is. The thread was asking basically “what does it mean when a psychic says ‘contact’” and that is what prompted the many responses about social media, indirect contact, etc. Every psychic is different, but for most, those count as a form of contact unless they state otherwise.
-
I, again, think you’re confused. No one is saying that we believe the psychics and this form of contact (well, I am not and I can only speak for myself). I was simply offering a psychic’s definition of what contact may be. It wasn’t stated, by me at least, that their version of contact is believed. In fact, most get contact wrong anyway, so it doesn’t matter either way. You’re reading way into some of these responses.
FWIW, I don’t think your post came across as a Debbie Downer/Negative Nancy. Just a bit over analyzing what some of us are saying. We’re just offering our two cents, not saying we hold any psychics to these contact definitions because, as you stated, they’re utter bull. As Purple stated, if someone is inquiring about contact, it SHOULD be the textbook definition, not whatever Psychic A, B, C, or D *thinks* it should be (which sadly, they typically mean everything BUT direct contact).
-
Yes, I prefer readers where, if they’re even going to mention contact (which POI and I aren’t out of contact so it’s not an Issue for me of If/when), that they’d say exactly WHAT kind they see. I’ve had a reader one time say he’s going to reach out via text to ask to meet up somewhere. I rather hear that, “oh he’ll reach you via email/text/call” rather than just “he’ll contact you” and then you realize that contact was indirect (a new profile pic of POI and a new girlfriend) instead of ACTUAL contact. That’s what I don’t like. It is very cryptic and confusing, depending on the reader, so I can understand why such a question of “what is the definition of contact” is being asked. When most people hear “he will contact you”, they’re assuming the textbook definition of “he’s going to call/text me directly”.
Forgot to add: I remember one reader actually saying she wasn’t sure WHAT type of contact it was, but it would him contacting her and she ran through the list of all possible forms. I was just sitting there with a ???????? on my face 😂 It was my BFF and I was sitting next to her at the time. If I recall, it was some Etsy reader
-
My post was responding to the title and some of the posts I read that seemed to take other odd things into account as contact!
As this thread continues looks like the literal definition is needed. Contact means (insert my 1st post) and should mean the same thing when it is given as a prediction.
If I see poi looking at my live feed on IG that's NOT contact. Unless the psychic mentioned this specifically. Otherwise if they just gave "contact" as in the general sense w/o clarifers then the literal definition prevails!
This is why I clarify everything with them....because I now weed out readers who have their own definition of words and or phrases that aren't logically recognizable to the average person that speaks my language. If they tell me hes going to contact me, but what they really mean is he's reading my FB page, then they're not the reader for me.
This is why I clarify everything
Psychic: Hes going to contact you....
Me: "what do you mean....he's going to call me?"
A classic example is Yona giving me "updates" as contact. Well i can get updates from their best friend, the news, or from looking at their social media....none of which is contact. Or he could update me by sending a text (which is contact) once I clarified it with her, she just meant I was getting news, I would come to know of certain things.
So, when I gave the definition thats what I expect psychics to mean when they give contact as a general prediction. And as I stated before, this is why I'm trending away from cryptic, convoluted readers who have their own "language".

Well this is unsettling lol
Wait 😳 a new post appearing on your insta search page doesn’t count does it?! As it’s an update but not actual contact from them to you themselves

It *shouldn't* count as contact, no. Unfortunately for some readers/psychics, it does (if that makes sense), which is ridiculous. If the POI didn’t actually REACH out to you to have communication directly *with you*, then anything else IMO isn’t “contact”. There are psychics, however, who will try to excuse that very situation you described as a form of contact even if they didn’t indicate that was what they saw and they just said “oh s/he will contact you on or around >>INSERT DATE<<“ if, however, they said “you’ll get an update on POI”, then yes, I’d say your insta search would count...depending on what the search showed, I guess.
-
I’ve never been told I’ll get an update always contact but who knows at this point lol

What do you mean a new post appearing on your insta page? Did they come to yout IG page and make a comment....then that is contact...Thats a message...
-
I assumed they meant the IG search and/or explore page. You can see when your followers (or mutuals, or someone that *you* tend to search a lot) post IG stories etc (or the main page), but it’s ultimately something that was posted to their own page and not directly to you.
-

😂 this is why I never listened to contact predictions when I would get them during our “off” periods. They were always wrong and/or not what I considered to be actual contact. Some, *very* few, tend to get them right apparently, but I’ve never had any correct ones 🤷♀️ If it happened, it happened. If not, life goes on

Yes this is what I meant :)

Popping in for my bi-yearly hang out. When I was reading contact was almost always direct "a text" or direct message, but every now and then it was him liking a bunch of pics or commenting on the picture. It is hard to tell, since its an esoteric practice, you kind of just have to give your best. Thats why accuracy will never be 100%.

Tell it! So correct.
-
For me it’s varied anywhere from a text to a call to seeing them in person. A majority of my contact predictions have been with texts though due to the nature of my situation at the time. But I feel like the definition of contact can vary from reader to reader.
