The fortune teller said that my son would go to college, but as a result, my son didn't go to college, which is not accurate at all?

In life, we often meet many people who have calculated their lives. After coming back, everyone said that fortune-telling was accurate, but some people thought that fortune-tellers were liars. So how accurate is the fortune teller? Bian Xiao analyzed this problem from a psychological point of view.

There is a term in psychology called suggestion, which can be divided into others' suggestion and their own suggestion. That is, when one thinks others are smart, it is rational to see what others do. In fact, this so-called smart person sometimes does something wrong, but out of expectation, he fully accepts and affirms it. On the contrary, when a person thinks someone is a bad person, the image of this bad person will be more profound through psychological suggestion.

There is an idiom in China called "suspicious neighbor steals axe", which refers to the role of suggestive psychology. Then it is not difficult to understand that we apply this principle to the fortune-telling of fortune tellers. Before going to fortune-telling, the vulnerable groups have a psychological expectation that what the fortune-teller says must be right, so no matter what the fortune-teller says, the receiver will cater to what the fortune-teller says through his own imagination.

For example, the fortune teller said that the recipient was LMNT, and then the recipient found a gold word next to his name through association, so he deified the fortune teller's arithmetic. As everyone knows, this kind of association is far-fetched. Simply put, the receiver said nothing through the hints of fortune tellers and self-hints, and finally verified the psychological expectations that the receiver had at the beginning.

For another example, the fortune teller said that the receiver had an ordeal ten years ago, and then in order to cater to the correctness of what the fortune teller said, the receiver kept recalling the accident that he accidentally fell down ten years ago, so the psychological expectation of the fortune teller was realized again. But in fact, many people have had accidents, big or small, whether it was ten years ago or twenty years ago, which means that the fortune teller's advice is actually useful to most people.

Only people who come to fortune-telling have psychological expectations and think that fortune-telling is accurate, so they cooperate with the content of fortune-telling through their own associations. Through the above analysis, I believe many people understand why fortune tellers are accurate. Similar to fortune telling, astrology also belongs to this principle. People who love constellations always associate the characteristics of people in a certain constellation with themselves. Over time, such people will label themselves according to the characteristics of the constellation, which is also the result of suggestion.
