It depends on the person as well as the intuition itself. Some you get feelings, but some, especially certain type of people especially those who just reject the whole thing, you are much less likely to get any feeling out of them because you get hit by their blockage and have a share of their energy, then the result is you get absolutely nothing.
However that is just one of the possibilities out there, be it external or internal, I think that either way we have the vibe they have too and thus become our own problem... well anyways we a lot of us are no perfect readers.
As someone who has only been reading for a few years too, I really resonate with this! I'm young, and will occasionally do readings for my mother's friends. While I always have great readings for those who I am close with and with my family, I often really struggle with some of my mother's friends who are more "realistic". I lose my mojo- in a sense. I will start to struggle with my words, and have difficulty finding connections and meanings in the cards.
So funny how others can affect us, ha!
Grizabella's advice is wonderful, what perfect wording. I definitely agree that when reading for someone who is skeptical, you really have to focus on not letting that energy stifle yours. I however, definitely need a bit more practice to stop skepticism from stopping me.
