Telepathy.
I really want to know the truth of what people think of me. Especially these "blood relatives".
Why do you care, and what would you do with that information?
Understanding them better to make better informed decisions on whether to rebuild relationships or just burn bridges.
I bet you you don't.
Sounds very psychosis inducing.
this. telepathy seems like it would be great but opens a can of worms.
Imagine knowing every time the person who cared for you most in the world almost slipped up because they were exasperated with you. And there's no real way to know when it's a bad time to read their mind, if it isn't always on. I think it would be hard to be really close to anyone if you could read their mind and they couldn't stop you.
I already have trust issues, I automatically distrusts everyone and assume they have a hidden malicious motive. Knowing addition info would be an advantage.
I'm even suspecting my "parents" are not my parents, that's how fucked up my thought process is. Having mindreading powers would help a lot, I could just ask a question then I know if they are telling the truth.
I have no one to trust right now. Just gimme this power.
I wish you had the power to know who to trust. I wish i had that, too.
I don't wish you this power, but I wish you peace, contentment and sufficiency with a modicum of joy. Best of luck to you.
