I gave my parent's little hints in 3 day's they got it...now it's the fourth day and my mom didn't believe it...I made a psi ball in front of her and tell her to feel it...Now she believes it Wink .
And my dad did it himself when he was young...at least he said Rolling Eyes .

My mum knows. The whole family is pretty much psychic, so I don't get laughed at or anything like that. lol
My uncle taught me some "cool stuff" a while back and told my mum and she's cool with it. She even tries to get me to tell her, her future Razz haha.

this doesnt break any laws of physics! We use psi (energy) to push something. like the psi wheel for example. Thats so irrelivent. No?

oh i dont realy wanna say yes or no because i realy dont know you or your mom. it all depends on her reaction. if she's going to take you to see a psycologist over it... then, well... just dont lie to her face. lying is the last thing you want to do. Because if you do they're going to think that whatever is worth lying over is realy bad. Soo yah..

I would say, wait untill you can provide visible proof, and not the easily-fakeable pinwheel. Wait untill, say, you can roll a pen.

unfortunately that day will probably never come.

TBH I wouldn't tell your parents, because if you already know they'll then refrain you from practicing, you might lose the chance to learn psionics, which after all is perhaps beneficial.
Now on the other hand, if psionics is pure invention and bullsh1t (but that you can't know for sure now), then maybe you should tell them because they'll get you back on track and you'll stay in line with reality, instead of spending your weekends and free-time locked in a room trying to move things by the power of your mind, to eventually end up in a madhouse.

your choice.

I made the mistake of telling my parents when i could only spin the psi wheel a little bit!!! Shocked
although i think they might have forgotten now (because of my lack of practicing) Confused

wait until you can at least roll pencils.
and then dont prctice it exsesivly when they are home..... because when ever they walk in i lose concentration. Also my parents think it's all fake, so that doesnt help. Mad


Very Happy But you should do what you feel you should do. Very Happy

Believe it or not, I showed it to my parents, and when theyre/sister is watching (no not breathing on the shit lol) I'm actually better, I think its because I'm more confident then.

Don't tell them if you think they won't accept. They may end up making you stop training psionics (yes, and this is happening with me, unfortunately.)

My parental units would receive a firm pimp slap if they ever acused me of anything that preposterous.

i think its better to tell them when your young,theyll think you just watched a movie of a psychic or something

if your planning to tell them at an older age,


YOU BETTER BE DAMN GOOD AT IT

or else you may go to a cusioned room for a year or two

It's not like you're coming out of the closet doing cart-wheels and wearing streamers.

If you're 8~15, your parents are more likely to not take you seriously if you tell them you practice Psionics. That's not to say they won't interfere, they'll just believe it's another crazy phase. So if you're going to tell them, make sure you can at least roll something.

When you approach your more "adult years," and you tell them you practice Psionics, they may be more open to it. They'll trust by now (hopefully), that you're mature enough to make decisions on your own. So even if they don't believe you, there's not much they can do. If you can't do a thing, however, Lord knows what they'll think.

All families are different of course, that's just a common trend I see. If your family is really close and open about things, you've probably already told them (or should). I showed my closest friend, and now I'm moving on to my brother. Eventually I'll show the whole family. Just tell whoever you think will be the most accepting, and move on from there.

I told them, but I don't think that they got the deeper meaning...

They have seen me spin the psiwheel, but they thought it was the comp... hehe.
