A friend says I'm pitiful, and someone invites me to play with her. Should I go? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Here's the thing. Last year, a friend recommended that I find an 8-character fortune-teller, but I personally don't think that person is very professional or has a strong moral bottom line. From any perspective, I'm not that miserable. But that person, well, it's like they said I should just feel like dying. So I told this friend about it, and we lost touch for about six months. Recently, she suddenly contacted me and spent a long time talking about how another friend had cheated her, and then said that the 8-character fortune-teller told her that my 8-character fortune was very miserable...and on and on. The point is, she said she only remembers what she wants to remember, and that person told her that I was depressed or something. I'm at my wits' end. And she said that I haven't enjoyed the kind of wholehearted care and selfless love that she has. If someone like this invites you to hang out with her, would you dare go? Waiting online in a hurry. What kind of mentality is she asking me about?

Hi, I'm Strawberry.

If we're happy with our lives, we wouldn't go to a fortune-teller to find out what the future holds. Fortune-telling isn't proven by science, so it's more like a form of psychological suggestion.

After contacting this teacher, the questioner felt that this person was unprofessional and had no moral bottom line. They had not been in contact for half a year, which shows that the questioner and this friend did not have a deep relationship. After an interval of half a year, the questioner had probably long since let go of this so-called teacher.

The questioner's friend still talks to this teacher. She wants to change things and has problems relaxing. She believes this fortune-teller can help her and solve her problems.

Some people find fortune-telling very accurate. This is the Barnum effect: people are easily influenced by others. The herd mentality is proof of this. People are constantly influenced by others.

Would you go if she invited you? I want to ask her what's wrong.

1. Stay away from him.

If they're good friends, they should have seen that the questioner didn't believe this person. But after half a year, this friend still told the questioner that the teacher said the questioner's characters weren't good.

A good friend wouldn't say these things to upset you. They'd also think about how you feel. But this friend doesn't know how to communicate well. They ignore other people's feelings.

A friend like this should be avoided. They say things that affect people's moods and instill incorrect concepts.

2. Be yourself.

After the original poster contacted this teacher, he felt the teacher was unprofessional and had no moral standards. This shows that the original poster, his friends, and this teacher have different values.

People who give advice are doing it for a reason. I once heard someone close to me say that professional teachers like this would tell people seeking help that their future is very bad. This is where the teachers come in. They can use protective items to change hopeless futures.

If you believe it, you have to keep listening. The question asker is right: ignore them, don't pay attention, and just live your life.

3. Find ways to relieve stress.

At first, the original poster chose to believe his friends and try to contact the eight-character teacher. All I can say is that you are troubled and need to find a solution. People encounter pressures when they go out. If you can detect your emotions and find a way to relieve them, it won't affect your life.

If you can't handle the pressure, get help. Try sports, singing, painting, traveling, etc. Talk to friends or try the counseling rooms and communities on the platform. There are communities for specific problems, with professional counselors and listeners. You can use other people's advice as a reference, but don't act on it all. Everyone has different problems and solutions.

I hope this helps the questioner. Best wishes.

Zachariah Davis To forgive is to give ourselves the gift of a clear conscience.

I wouldn't want to meet up with someone who seems to twist situations and words like that. It sounds like she's projecting her own issues onto you based on what a fortuneteller said. I'd be very cautious about how much I share or agree to do with her.

Eugene Miller Knowledge of different legal and ethical principles and literary works is beneficial.

Meeting up might not be the best idea if she has such a negative outlook and seems to misinterpret things. It feels like she could use some professional help rather than relying on fortunetelling. Maybe suggest she talks to a counselor instead?

Patrick Miller There's no substitute for integrity.

It sounds like this friend is struggling but taking it out on you in an unhealthy way. If she insists on meeting, maybe propose a group activity with mutual friends where there's more balance and support all around.

Scarlett Bloom Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Her behavior sounds quite manipulative and distressing. I would feel safer maintaining distance for now. You deserve friends who see you clearly and appreciate you for who you are, not just fragments of what they choose to remember.

Delphine Jackson Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

This situation sounds really tough. If she wants to meet, perhaps suggest having a conversation first to clear the air. If she's willing to listen and understand your side, then maybe meeting up could be considered, but only if you feel safe and comfortable doing so.
