Why is fortune telling so accurate?

Many people think the fortune teller is "accurate" after consulting him. In fact, those who turn to fortune tellers are easily influenced. When people are depressed, they lose control of their lives, so their sense of security is also affected. An insecure person's psychological dependence is also greatly enhanced, and the suggestibility is stronger than usual. In addition, fortune tellers are good at trying to figure out people's inner feelings and can understand the feelings of help seekers a little, and help seekers will immediately feel a kind of spiritual comfort. The fortune teller's next general and harmless words can convince the helper.

In daily life, we can't always reflect on ourselves, nor can we always observe ourselves as an outsider, so we can only know ourselves with the help of external information. Because of this, when everyone knows himself, it is easy to be hinted by external information, get lost in the environment, be hinted by the surrounding information, and take other people's words and deeds as a reference for their actions. "Barnum effect" refers to a psychological tendency, that is, people are easily hinted by external information, which leads to the deviation of self-cognition, and think that a general and general personality description reveals their own characteristics very accurately.
