Now You’re A Psychic
You have a pleasant personality and are generally liked by others.
Who is going to argue with that statement? Sure, there probably are a few out there, but if you were cold reading in person, you’d have no problem spotting the type who would tell you how terrible and unliked they are. The word pleasant is rather mild and impersonal, so you’re less likely to raise any flags. The word generally opens the path to many vague possibilities, but it is nothing definite. It is in a way similar to an open-ended suggestion.
You can be easily hurt at times…
Well, unless you are a robot this can apply to you at least once.
…and as a result are more careful with displaying your feelings than you used to be.
Children display their feelings outwardly in any setting until eventually they learn that it is not appropriate to cry for trivial reasons. People get their feelings hurt over and over, lose loved ones, and get bounced around in relationships, making them a bit more cynical than they used to be. This statement basically applies to everyone, except maybe younger children.
I sense a period early on in your life, teenage years perhaps, when you felt misunderstood as if you couldn’t really get close to anyone.
We’ve all felt misunderstood at one point or another, and just wanted to keep to ourselves. It is part of being human. This is a common feeling as a teenager, so using perhaps gives you this option.
You pay attention to health and physical fitness at times.
I didn’t say that you’re spending hours in the gym every day. You may have at times been concerned about what you ate or bought some exercise machine in the heat of the moment after watching an absolutely mesmerizing infomercial. You get the idea.
You have had a few worries recently concerning money…
Rich or poor, this applies to you. And how recently? Yesterday or last year? The effect is similar to nomilizations, allowing the subject to fill in the meaning, not you.
Your progress in this world has not always been as fast as you would like…
How many people have you met that are completely content with their achievements? Unless you are a successful Buddhist monk, you most likely want more of what you don’t have. Now once I buy that Porsche, then I’ll be happy. Riiiiight…
You have sometimes wondered if you have made the right decisions at times..
Yesterday I had to decide between tea or coffee. I wasn’t really sure if I made the right decision. We’re all forced to make decisions every day which aren’t necessarily that substantial. Did we make the right decision by going to see Transformers instead of The Bourne Ultimatum? Oh the pressure.
Romantically it hasn’t always been easy, and your outlook on life has changed because of this.
Yeah, show me the perfect relationship. And you’ve changed even if you married your high school sweatheart in the Mormon temple with Jesus at your side.
Shortly you will receive some pleasant news.
Will it be in the fortune cookie at lunch or maybe you can go home early from work? It could be anything!
I see some travel in your future and several new horizons beckoning.
First of all this statement is appealing to most, so there won’t be any argument here. Since it is sometime in the future, there are many possibilities. And travel could mean across town, but not necessarily across the world.
I can see you happy and productive in your old age, surrounded by friends and family.
You’re not likely to hear the response, “No, I’ll die young, alone and unhappy!” So it fits.
As you can see all these statements have no meat. They really don’t mean anything, and yet they still apply to the majority of people.

One of my cold reading lines that always seems to work is “At times you are really out-going, you are the life of the party and at other times you are a bit more introvert and reserved” I think this would be true of anyone, as people respond and act differently in different environments
