. . . > This is all probably coming from the dinner party I went to last night. I was having an okay day I thought. A friend or I should say an acquaintance who was unfortunaltey seated next to me for the ten course dinner told me she was psychic and could read me. She said that I really needed to get out of my box. And if I didn't get out of my box I could become very depressed. It was all up to me to get out of the damn box. I hope it was at least a Tiffanys box she was referring to. This is when a bottle of wine can really make a difference.Okay I am rambling. Does anyone else have this problem? no not the rambling one.

>OK, I just have to get this off my chest. If that woman was *really* psychic, she'd have seen how much inner pain you were in, and how hard you were trying to hide it so as to not be a "party pooper", and would have responded empathetically . . . gently trying to make you smile, instead of childishly bragging about her "gift" . . .
Sometimes I just can't *stand* people whose method of self-validation is to believe they have a secret or are somehow better than everyone else. Unfortunately I know a couple of "psychics" like that and they just make sorry for them, that they really believe so deeply their own delusions.
Then I know a lady who really does have an amazing gift -- psychic or not, I don't know or really care, I just know it works -- for knowing what's up with people and when they need her. If you ask her directly she can tell you things you thought no one else could possibly know about you, but she never "volunteers" anything, just tries to be supportive of people and help them deal with their inner pain. Someone like her, would be worth sitting next to at a dinner party.
I'm so sorry you ended up sitting next to this sadly clueless woman. Like you needed that on top of everything else going on. Hope you didn't let it get you down . . . at least, not for long . . . .
OK, through venting now . . . honest . . .
