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.

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

        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.

        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.
