Is It Normal for Psychics to Ask for Personal Info Before Reading?
So I tried a reading on one of those popular psychic platforms last week, and right off the bat the reader started asking for a lot of personal details—like my full name, birthday, job, and even stuff about my past relationships. I was taken aback because I thought psychics just did their thing with cards or energy without needing all that info first.
Is this common practice or should I be skeptical? I don’t mind sharing some basics, but it felt like an interrogation before the actual reading even started. I’m new to all this so wondering if it’s a red flag or just how some readers work to connect better. Thanks.

You said the reader asked for “full name, birthday, job, and even stuff about my past relationships.” That’s a lot to share right away.
I get that some psychics like a bit of info to tune in, but it does raise a question: how much is genuinely needed to read energy vs. how much is just fishing?
I’d like to see if anyone’s compared how readings go when they share minimal details versus a full background. It might help figure out if it’s standard or just a tactic to gather data.
