No thanks! I have a hard enough time reading my own mind!

What women want... Mel Gibson !

Will everyone shut the Hell up. Hell no!

So I can't control it? Lame.
I'll take it.

Honestly I hear enough from stupid people I'm good.

Before I read that last paragraph I was thinking yes, I'd like it if I could turn it on or off whenever I wanted to.

Since I can't, I'll say no. Tinnitus is enough for me anyway.

Aha, but you didn't specify as to whether or not you can turn this ability on and off. Since that remains open, I'm going to assume you can. Therefore, I'd be extremely happy to have such a gift.

As a lifelong sufferer of tinnitus, I could easily handle it so yes I would want it.

I feel like i wouldn't want to know what people were thinking. Some of the stuff we all think from time to time is just weird, plus it'd feel like a violation of the person I was reading.

I absolutely would take it, as long as it was dulled by increased proximity. I think you'd gain compassion for people and learn our motivations are very similar.

If I had the power to turn my mind reading abilities on and off, then yes.

That's "reading"

Reading my own presents enough difficulties!

Nope...as it is my mind is a toilet bowl of useless noise ...

Oh... Geeze! ..... no..... I got a dull ringing in there already... all the time. I need a fan to go to sleep. Because I get hot and for the white noise to drown out the ringing. I wore earplugs for 40 years and i still got ir.

The only way I'd want it is if I could turn it off. I'm a firm believer that other people are entitled to the privacy of their thoughts, but there are some situations in which having that sort of access could be useful (e.g., dealing with corrupt people in authority or criminals). But, for the most part, I'd not use it— so long as I could mute it.

I think I like things the way they are.
