I was very upset after listening to the fortune teller help me calculate. Is it really credible?

Behavioral psychology research has found that many people think that fortune tellers are accurate after consulting them. In fact, those who seek the help of fortune tellers have the characteristics of being easily hinted.

When people are depressed and frustrated, they often lose control of their own lives, so their sense of security will also be affected. An insecure person will often become more psychologically dependent and suggestive than usual. In addition, fortune tellers are very good at trying to figure out people's inner feelings. As long as they can understand the feelings of the helpers a little, the helpers will immediately feel a kind of spiritual comfort. If the fortune-teller can say something general and harmless, the helper will be convinced.

In fact, psychologists have studied fortune tellers and found that almost all brilliant fortune tellers know people's psychology very well. Their most common psychological phenomenon is that "when people hear a few ambiguous words from each other, they often look in the direction they understand, thus creating the illusion that' the other person knows me'." This is a psychological phenomenon of self-verification.

For example, sometimes fortune tellers suddenly ask, "Is there a big tree in front of your house?" If there is, you will think that he really knows how to pinch and calculate; If you answer "no", he will say to you quite calmly, "Oh, no, it's for the best", as if he really hopes there won't be any, so you won't doubt him at all. Sometimes he will ask, "Ah, you have a good relationship with water". At first glance, it seems to refer to water, but this is actually a very unclear expression. If there is a word "water" in your name, you can't help thinking: If he doesn't know my name, how can he know that I am destined to be water? If you work in a bathhouse, as a sailor, in a waterworks, or in an energy-saving and water-saving office, you will often be surprised: if he doesn't know my work, how can he know that I have something to do with water? If there is a river or pond near your home, you will also think: If he doesn't know where my home lives, how can he know that I am destined to be water? And so on.

People's psychological activities are actually very subtle. When people hear positive hints, they often think of them immediately. For example, when you mention apple, the shape and color of apple often come to mind immediately; If you hear an uncertain hint, a series of things related to the hint will pop up in your mind. When you hear the fortune teller say that you are "destined to be water", your mind will think, "Oh, I used to swim in the river and almost drowned." In this way, in essence, you are smart enough to turn a rather vague sentence from the other party into a definite fact.

The trick used by fortune tellers is to provide some vague information so that the other party can find their own experience, thus concretizing the fuzziness of information. All fortune tellers with "immortal fame" are just smart enough to detect each other's feelings and troubles at that time in a short time and provide some appropriate suggestions. If a person gets some vague information, he will speculate from all aspects of himself, and the more he thinks, the more he thinks. Whether a fortune teller can induce skillfully is the difference between cleverness and clumsiness.

A concept often mentioned by clever fortune tellers is "sincerity is the spirit", which is to give you a positive hint and let you have a favorable attitude first. On the premise of believing, your thoughts will usually go further and further with his guidance: "Two years ago, you had an opportunity to make a fortune, but you didn't seize it;" You will have good luck next year; The year after next, you have noble people to help you; You will have a catastrophe before you are 30. These languages will make you recall similar events in your mind like lightning and search like a movie. In fact, you are trying to prove the correctness of these words, and finally come to the conclusion that there seems to be such a thing, and what he said is quite accurate, and it really lives up to its reputation!

Fortune tellers sometimes even use people's fears to attract customers. Those who believe will be fooled, while those who don't believe and leave angrily will be in big trouble. Because fear and self-verification can put people under great psychological pressure. In this case, although some people explicitly warned themselves that "he is not sure", they were extremely nervous, so they couldn't sleep well afterwards, fearing that there would be a catastrophe as the fortune teller said. As a result, they were out of their wits and looked in a trance. In the end, the disaster that hasn't happened yet is really unlucky because of the dark ghost in their hearts. In this way, it is better to know more about psychology than to spend money on fortune telling.

In fact, everyone has their own happiness. As long as you believe in yourself, you will certainly have your own happiness.
