A feature on many smart phones that often causes one to make unwitting hilarious, retarded, offensive, and/or douchebag-like statements when texting. Especially hard to catch when preoccupied with something else while speed texting.
Michelle broke up with me 'cause while I was watching the game the predictive texting on my phone called her Michaela instead.

A boxing prediction is a statement you make before a boxing match stating what you think the outcome will be.

To determine an outcome or situation BEFORE it was thought of by someone else or put into motion...
Therefore “pre-predicting” the thought of an end result of a plan that did not begin.

A high-tech version of, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It improves reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Predictive maintenance allows things to be repaired when they become at risk of breaking down, while avoiding repairing things that are not at risk.

Prediction phobia creates self limitations.
Being slaves to predictions, never to test if predictions are true.
Fear prevents a person from being oneself, and never test if predictions become reality. This prevents the brain from becoming calibrated with reality. Some of our predictability comes from people failing to be creative and simply parroting behavior of others.
A person who always pays attention to how he/she behaves, and don't let go of this prediction of how others look at him/her-self.
When focusing on what you predict others' opinions/reactions/views of you are, you will restrict yourself and act worse than you would otherwise.
How do we know anything for sure?
The cure is to test every prediction that comes in the way of doing what you want. See how often your bad predictions were incorrect, and how they affect your life.
You make predictions reality by focusing on them. Let go of the prediction's control over you and start controlling yourself. Wake up, enjoy the now, stop predicting.
Prediction phobia stops you from doing what you feel like: dancing, getting to know strangers, not drinking beer at the bar, not laughing at jokes you don't think are funny, playing loud music, talking loud, singing, talking to groups of people.

"You didn't try to hit on the girl when you had a chance?"
-"No, I didn't think it would work"
"Haha you let prediction phobia take control of you, you had your chance and you didn't even try."
-"No I don't, I play the lottery even though I know I won't win, but this is different."
"No I don't see your logic, your self-image isn't going to be damaged. Risk rejection or go home mad at yourself for not taking the chance?"
-"Wow thanks! I will start to ignore my predictions."
