Highlights
The video introduces a 'pick a card' tarot reading to discern if a person's affection is genuine or if they are using you. It can apply to both romantic relationships and platonic friendships. The three piles are themed after Olivia Rodrigo's songs: 'My Way,' 'Expectations,' and 'Cigarette Smoke,' chosen for their relevance to falling in and out of love. Viewers are instructed to choose one of the three songs, corresponding to their chosen pile.
For those who chose 'My Way,' representing competitiveness with an ex or another person, the reading indicates the person is initially interested and physically attracted but quickly becomes restless and bored. They are not likely to be in a long-term relationship due to emotional immaturity. This person is characterized as a big flirt, casting a wide net, and viewing others as stepping stones to elevate themselves, seeking validation while often being selfish. They tend to live in a delusional fantasy, believing their own lies, and struggle with reality. The presenter advises caution, suggesting this person is only suitable for casual interactions, not a serious commitment. They expect others to constantly impress them and are seen as surface-level, not understanding true feelings.
Those who chose 'Expectations,' a song about accepting less than one deserves, are told they have changed while the other person has not. The reading suggests the viewer is realizing the other person's immaturity and that their initial charm has worn off, revealing a 'lame, boring, and empty' individual. This person presented a false image, and the viewer now feels manipulated and 'duped.' The cards indicate a transformation in the viewer's tastes and a growing aversion to the other person, leading to a strong feeling of 'the ick.' The person is described as a 'bullshitter' who talks a good game but consistently fails to follow through. The advice is to let go, as compatibility is lacking, and the relationship is not what the viewer truly desires.
For those who chose 'Cigarette Smoke,' representing regret and resentment at the end of a relationship, the reading shows a struggle to let go amidst chaos and the need for a major decision. Despite the tumultuous past, this pile holds potential for a real and serious relationship. There is an evolution moment for both individuals, requiring healing and understanding. It's a 'make or break' situation, with clear emotional growth and maturity evident. The cards indicate that the other person is not a user but is 'hurt' and has strong, authentic feelings for the viewer. The decision to pursue or end the relationship rests with the viewer, who is seen as having control. While an emotional trauma bond is possible, the feelings are genuine, and the choice to make it work is ultimately up to the viewer. This connection offers authentic emotions without game-playing.
