Are skin readings a thing when it comes to psychics?

I know psychic readings are scams and all, and I had to block this one lady, but it seemed fun because it was free and at first, she did a palm reading, which I HAVE heard of.

But do skin readings actually exist or was this an excuse to get nudes from a teen girl? Because she asked for pictures of my boobs and hipbones for the reading. I blocked her, thankfully, I’m just wondering if this is an actual method used.

Not a thing as far as I’m aware. Sounds like a creepo who wants “naughty nudes” from a teen girl but is disguising it as something else because she thought you’d do it that way and also potentially to feel better about herself for doing it so she doesn’t feel guilty receiving it from a minor, but yeah, she was probably just horny.

Thanks!

I’ve dabbled in the occults during my youth and I’ve never heard of “skin readings”. Maybe it’s an ancient technique that escaped my radar or maybe it’s just a scammer getting your boob pics. I’d be inclined to think it’s the latter.

Makes sense, her “15 yo sophomore friend who is my age” texted me but just wanted to know if she could play with my boobs if we ever met up IRL.

zomboy@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 22:17 collapse

is the friend really 15 too? and if you see a picture of her, reverse image search it to check if it’s from pinterest or something. if not, there’s either a possibility that they got it from another victim or it’s another horny person.

Or they’re part of a cult/gang like 764. Either way, police should be involved.

How was the palm reading done?

blackwitch@lemmy.eco.br on 13 Dec 22:15 collapse

Went on my alt to see accounts I couldn’t see on my main, she just asked for a picture of my palm and read my future based off there and said I should expect to get a new girlfriend and travel to a foreign country by 2026.

IronBird@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 22:59 collapse

definitely a scammer/blackmailer of some kind, or maybe just a creep trying to get some nudes.

see if you’d fall for palm reading pic, then ask for more

blackwitch@lemmy.eco.br on 13 Dec 23:21 collapse

I hope by “new girlfriend” she doesn’t mean her…

zomboy@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 22:16 next collapse

oh heck no. that’s a scammer for sure, like another user said: just a creep who wants nudes but doesn’t wanna feel bad.

Probably was…

You sure about that part?

Lesbians exist.

kn33@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 23:18 next collapse

They do… I just want to make sure OP is thinking about how people might not be who they say they are.

blackwitch@lemmy.eco.br on 13 Dec 23:21 collapse

One thing’s for sure, she’s not 17 turning 18 like she says, I found pics of her from her social media before I blocked her account and she looked in her 20s even in 2020-2021. She does claim to be a lesbian though, but it still could be a man or multiple people pretending.

kn33@lemmy.world on 14 Dec 01:47 collapse

Yeah, in general I don’t trust anyone on the internet is who they say they are

It takes more than liking girls to get a man’s sexual assault stats.

communism@lemmy.ml on 14 Dec 10:36 collapse

It does, but people of any gender can be abusers etc. It is a real problem that lesbian survivors of abuse from a female partner find it difficult to escape their partner because their partners are e.g. allowed into women’s shelters. It’s also not hard to understand that the environment of homophobia and misogyny leads to many women and girls getting into toxic relationships with each other where abuse can develop. I say this as a lesbian who was in some unhealthy relationships in my teen years. A lot of lesbians have similar experiences. I’m not saying that lesbians are predatory on a level comparable with straight men, but I am saying that narratives around abuse and violence completely ignore the violence that LGBT people may experience in their own relationships. Judging by OP’s profile picture they are also a young lesbian.

Judging by OP’s profile picture they are also a young lesbian.

Correct! I am :)

swordgeek@lemmy.ca on 13 Dec 23:29 next collapse

As many have said, this isn’t a real thing. It sounds like she was trying to groom you. The comment about the other girl wanting to play with you boobs is reminiscent of the 764 group, who are dangerous, violent psychopaths.

Most importantly right now, GOOD FOR YOU for blocking her!

Secondly, you should report this to the cops. Please, PLEASE report this person!

Thirdly, if you did send her more than just a picture of your palm (i.e. and aren’t telling us the whole story), don’t be ashamed. Groomers are very good and very practiced, and can get past all logical defenses.

The only people I show anything to is:

  1. Significant Other. If they want to touch me and I want it. Its ok

  2. Doctor. Generally im there for them to look at things or in things. They may need a flash light but its bc I have an issue with that area. Physicals occasionally require 2 fingers and a cough or 2

  3. Prove a “me job” is not possible

Theres all manner of goofy psychic bullshittery out there from palms to tea leaves to runes and tarot cards. I haven’t heard of titty readings or indeed any psychic stuff involving the rest of the body apart from the hands.

I could see someone claiming some shit for blood maybe, and personality stuff regarding skull shape and blood type are both psuedosciences that exist, the latter being popular in Japan, the former with 1800s racists.

cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Dec 13:45 next collapse

Someone posted a similar thing a couple days ago, except it was a guy who posted. Said he was 15. Said they asked for the exact same thing.

Sounds like a scam they’re running on social media.
