I've had a problem since i was a kid. I have the ability to read people, know when someone close is in trouble, what is in their hearts. This affected my relationship with my mum and boyfriends.

As a kid i had a bestfriend. Anytime she is about to come see me at home i start sneezing and tell my mum that lucy is near. At first my mum thought it was a coincidence and when she observed it occured frequently she became worried and banned my best friend from coming to the house thinking it was from her. In fact she stopped me having friends. I could also tell when a family member is in trouble or be able to see any one i have lost before they go away.

It didnt stop there. I could read my mum's thought and knew exactly what she was feeling, what she thinks, and how she was coping with my dad or anything. She didnt like this very much especially when i was a kid and she tried to stay away from me. I would close to her, hold her hands and tell her as a kid i what happened and try to assure her it will be fine and she will be scared. But with time we became closer and she now opens up to me knowing that she cant hide a thing.

Now i'm in a relationship with a wonderful guy. I can see this in his heart. I can predict when he would call, what he thinks and when he is depressed. I'm just afraid of ruining my relationship as i have ruined the ones before. Though i have been correct every instance but i would have loved to have a chance not to know.

I have tried to hide my secret from him. I just want to enjoy a normal relationship. Is there some advice for me here? Is there some professional help i can see. please try to have an open mind when u read this i really do need help.

Dear Anonymous,

I agree with some of the others on how you should handle your gift. Thing is, you cannot let this control you, your in the drivers seat and your controlling yourself. Basically, accept it and adapt to it, i'll make you stronger. Now for your personal loved ones and your relationships with them, just try not to bring anything up until its an immediate danger, lol. Otherwise, keep your mind on something else, do something else.

When you realize your gift, you'll feel like you can take charge in some situationscause your a stronger person. Anyways, blah blah blah bha.. hahahahah Good luck to everyone in there daily battles in life. peace God bless us all! :p

Same here I predicted my mums death.. warned her many times but she kept on joking about winning the lottery instead. I predicted that her brother would have also the condition and he would be ok due to early treatment..

Amoght other things peole I would meet in my future workplaces.. as well as workplaces i visit.

I've also got serious issues with pushing people out of my life..

ways kind of anxious about the gun to the head in an office.. ^^ my I shouldnt shock myself.. especially if I haven't had any visions in the last few years.. nothing.. hope nothing will happen to me.

I still want to think i would like to win the lottery.. but I can't see that at all.. so I think I usaully not bother to buy a ticket since I am bound not to win.

Do not think of this ability as something good or bad, your value judgement is irrelevent. All you need to know is that it is part of who you are. You need to be honest with yourself that you have it, and honest with those close to you that you have it, otherwise you can never really be honest about who you really are, and this is of fundamental importance. If you can learn to accept and embrace it as part of who you are, that is the best thing you can do for yourself to be happy with who you are, and have happy relationships. Plus its cool.

Seratuki agony auntHi..

I have the same "special talent" as another aunt has put it, and I totally understand how you feel. I had a best friend in elementary school who was the sweetest thing..and I knew she was going to die in a car accident the day before it happened..I remember telling my mother how I felt, in tears. and she pretty much thought I had lost my mind or something...

It seems to run on the female side of my fathers family...I always hid it, until one day when I went out to lunch with my aunt and she told me she had to step out to make a phone call because she knew something had happened to her close friend..turns out her friend had suffered a heart attack only a few hours before her phone call.

I still didn't voice my feelings to my aunt until she came to me and told me she knew how I felt and not to be afraid of it, or I would block the feelings with my fear.

It does seem that the closer I am to the people around me the more in tuned to it I am...

Anyway, my only advice is to learn to accept it as something unique and special, maybe speak to others with the same ability, that may help you not feel so alone and isolated.

Tell your boyfriend about it..I told my fiancee, and it helped him to understand me better than before, if your bf has a problem with it, maybe he's not the one for you after all...

Best of luck to you.. :)

If you ever want to talk, please feel free to contact me.

AngelofLove agony auntI do not understand how these predictions would push people away when it is the closeness to you that intensifies your gift, alerting you to help them.

Nothing to be ashamed about. Not easy to live with this as you feel the pain they feel, you are not alone though.

Sensitive Remote Viewing is a gift underestimated, dismissed and shared by many people.

If if frightens people, just because you know the answer it does not mean that you have to shouting out and letting people know you KNOW.

Although I don't think you should have to hide anything as it is part of you, perhaps dont be so quick to desbribe things and allow people to disclose them in their time.

Like rather than say what happened, I felt this ... Just say Are you okay?

That way, you can help just as much, without freaking them out.

It is also hard for other people as they do not know how to react to your unusual special talent.

Lots of hugs

Jadzia1127 agony aunt Your mum was wrong in trying to keep friends away from you. No matter what you can do, you need people around you to learn how to handle it socially.

Just go slow with your boyfriend and no matter what you 'read' about him don't do anything you don't feel comfortable doing.

If you truly have this gift there are universities that have research facilities that will test your strength and teach you to fine tune it.
