    I have a made up word I have never said to anyone.

    Nobody claiming to be psychic has ever been able to detect it.

    While it’s a meaningless thing overall, it is endlessly entertaining to watch someone spiral from “trying” to discover it, to random guessing, to being angry and declaring that I’m lying and they got it the first time.

    It’s kinda like my secret. I have a secret I have never told anyone. It’s another thing I will put before a self proclaimed psychic. Even once they progress to guessing, none have ever even thrown it out as an option.

    And you’d be amazed how many self proclaimed psychics there are out in the world, and how many of them seem to really think they are psychic, to the degree that they’ll accept someone presenting one or both of those challenges.

    The made up word would be a difficult guess for sure. But my secret isn’t something so rare that nobody could possibly hit on it as a guess.

    I’m not willing to outright say that there’s no thing that could be called psychic ability. What I am willing to say is that nobody has ever exhibited such, and likely never will

      “You have a very protective aura, which is a good thing, since it serves as a natural protection and everyone has it. But this also means that I am not on the same kind of energy like you, which is why it is difficult for me.”

      Said a fortune teller once to my mother, who felt like she was being told bullshit. (Which is true, because fortune tellers and the like are a scam.) But such people will always find some bullshitty explanation to still save their face.

      Bro you didn’t make up that word. You heard it on an episode of Always Sunny and forgot. I’d say it but honestly it’s so close to a racial slur that I’d rather not risk it.

      You have said it before, it was the last thing you said to Brian before he went out that night and… well I can sense there’s a lot of unresolved drama there so I’ll stop talking now

      Anyway don’t worry about Brian, in the great hereafter he became really good at Sudoku and is considering reincarnation on a planet in the Crab nebula. Interesting choice considering the people of that world are all female. Humanity won’t discover them for about two weeks but first contact will be surprisingly underwhelming

      Naw I’m messing with you. This was all stream of conciousness… but maybe I freaked someone out who thought I was serious.
