Freaking out astrology and palmistry

[Rana]

Please help I reading about astrology and it was talking about it predicting your health and then I saw people talking about palm reading and that it’s accurate the readings. I have not nor ever go to a palm reading but being the anxious girl I am I looked up about life line and health line and saw a post about a line that means you’ll have cancer and it scared me. I’m not sure it my lines are that or not I keep looking at my palm and getting terrified. Do you think anyone of this is true or anything worry about

Cancer | Hand & Palm Analysis

Cancer will show as islands on the Fate line in the Left Hand. It will show on a time line sequence at the time when it began or will begin.

Not a believer in any of this at all. looking at a person's hand and seeing their future. Just something somebody came up once upon a time to entertain people. Nothing more than that. Same as Astrology. Looking at the stars and how they align to predict your future. Is nothing behind it at all. Much like all the other similar things out there. Some buy into them. Most date back to France and King Louis XIV and his been called the sun king. They started to entertain him with astrology. And it simply went on from there. Be surprised at what people claim they can read to see your future. From animal guts to tea leafs. I am just one of those people who thinks it is all rubbish and I wouldn't worry about anything that a reading was meant to say about me.

Cancer occurs due to genetics and/or environmental/lifestyle factors. A line on your hand will NOT determine whether you will get cancer It is much more complex than that.
I took a look at the link you put in your post. This website is right in that keratosis can over time develop into cancer (key word: can. You can have keratosis patches and never get cancer!). This is because keratosis develops due to too much UV exposure over a prolonged period of time, which can sometimes lead to skin cancer. But in terms of the actual lines on your palm...these have no connection to whether or not you will get cancer. Lines on your palm are just creases in your skin that formed when you were very young. The skin has to fold and bend when you close your hand, thus creases are formed. That's all.
It might be helpful to learn more about how people get cancer, UNLESS of course you think this will trigger your anxiety even more - then don't do any googling, please. But this is not anything to worry about. I can see why it would be scary, with some people claiming that this is accurate. But consider: many people have cancer. Many people probably also have this line on their palm. The fact that some people have both is just a coincidence

Thank you I know logically makes no sense that lines on your hands could ever mean anything about your health. I guess my anxiety wants to me think about all the people who believe it it’s insane

People were all saying palmistry is real and science and they say I’d you have lots of lines on your palm it means a difficult life and illnesses and you have lots of worries. This scares me since I have anxiety and worry about everything I worry that means it’s true I hate if

Anxiety can convince you of almost anything, I know how frustrating it can be. The thing is - no one knows how exactly their life will go. Everyone experiences difficult and challenging times, and everyone experiences illness at some point. Everyone experiences their own worries as well. People have these experiences regardless of whether they have the "right" lines on their palms or not. I'm not here to bash palmistry. I don't believe in it myself (I don't think you have anything to worry about here), but I don't want to discredit other people's beliefs. Some people find comfort and clarity in things they think can predict the future, because many people worry about the unknown. Some people just want to find something can serve as an explanation for their experiences in life. Things like palmistry and astrology can draw these people to them. Anxious people can also be drawn to them, looking for answers.
I guess what I'm saying is that you'd do best to just go and live your life, and try not to get caught up in what this all means. What will happen will happen, regardless of any lines on your palm. I know it's easier said than done. But for your own mental health, it might be good to avoid these kinds of sites in the future

I forgot to add that when I heard about karmic debt numbers my number was lowest number and what it said all the struggles are same as this says about lines on hands and also it says it means having gastrointestinal and stomach problems all my life I do have acid reflux for years. You think that means this is all true? Am I gonna have stomach cancer this is all too much?

 

[alwaysworried]

I think that's just a coincidence. Stomach problems are common for many people, I'm sure there are thousands of others who could have the same outcome. Just because you have acid reflux, it doesn't mean that this test holds any truth. Things like astrology and palmistry that claim to predict the future often predict things that could apply to many people, hence why people agree with them/think they are accurate. Like some horoscopes that predict you'll have conflict in the coming months (for example). Many people will experience conflict, but not because the horoscope said so! It's just life.
In statistics they say a lot that correlation does not equal causation - just because two things are related, it doesn't mean that one causes the other. It's sort of a similar concept to what we have here. Just because your experiences may correlate with what these websites are telling you...which are broad experiences that could apply to many people...doesn't mean that the lines on your palm or your karmic debt numbers actually predict anything or have any bearing on your life whatsoever.

You may have stomach problems now, but it doesn't mean you're destined to have them forever. And like I said before, cancer happens due to genetics or lifestyle/environmental factors. You're not going to get cancer because this website tells you you will

Thank you I’ll try to ignore these thoughts

I started worrying again after reading about the lines on inside of wrist bracelet lines ensue called and that number of lines you have means years of life this isn’t true right
