Reactions To Mind Reading

What kind of things do you do if any whenever you experience or have mind reading, telepathy, or thought broadcasting? Do you create new thoughts and use them as barriers or obstacles where they cant steal your thoughts? How do you feel about the experience when it occurs? frightened, happy, sad, not alone, annoyed, vengeful, burdensome?

When I was still figuring myself out after my onset and I was sure I was thought broadcasting I would read books like ā€œTreasure Islandā€ and stuff like that so if people were going to read my thoughts, they would be reading a book.

If there was a thought in my head that I didn’t want someone to see I would think of the ocean. I would just stand and face the water and concentrate fully on that. Trouble was, I too would forget my thought and what I was doing and saying, and where I was going. Then I’d be stuck.

I did hate it. I was sometimes mad at myself for having such a loud head. Then I would be mad at the people who I figured could easily hear what I’m thinking and yet seemed to play dumb.

As I went to therapy and got counseling and more stable on meds, I’ve come to realize that people can’t hear my thoughts.

Yes, people can not read somebody’s thoughts. I have learned a technique during many years. When I hear voices that typically are wasteful, I put these voices in the trash box in my mind, ignore these and eventually these are gone, although new voices may arrive and these go also to this same trash box in my mind. I do not let these voices to disturb me.

Personally, I used to think people were watching my thoughts on the TV when I left the room. This made me terribly uncomfortable, because as soon as you think someone is listening to you, you involuntarily start thinking of all the things you wouldn’t want people to know.

My response to this was to stay in the living room and make sure they couldn’t watch my thoughts. This was my only coping mechanism until I got on medication. It’s terribly frightening and depressing.

I don’t know about people, but somebody sure as ā– ā– ā– ā–  can.

It sure as hell doesn’t make you feel safe, with all of this other ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  going on we really don’t need to worry about that either.

i went through this belief but it didn’t actually bother me until it turned on me. then i was petrified that a) everyone i met and knew and even people over the other side of the atlantic could hear my thoughts. and b) hated my guts and wanted me dead. now i don’t believe that anymore simply because of rationalising it. i don’t hear the majority of the strangers voices anymore. i getthe odd sentence now and then but i don’t believe they’re real so they’ve lost any power to scare me tbh. i still have a host of voices, mainly lead by mel gibson and melanie brown but i don’t believe they’re real either. too many things just don’t add up with it. it’s all sooooo covenient and unlikely that i just don’t go for it at all anymore.

I got thought broadcasting way before I showed major symptoms. I remember the first time I thought I should control my thought better so when ppl read my mind I won’t embarrass myself. I was 13 or so.

I came up with an offensive strategy against mind readers. Basically I would think the most random ā€˜out there’ thoughts imaginable and look around to see if ppl had a ā€˜WTF?’ expression on their face. Then I would know if they were reading my mind. Never caught any mind readers that way though.

Not long ago, I read a post of someone who used the same kind of strategy.

When I was sure my ex husband was opening up and reading my (snail) mail (before the internet), he denied it of course.
So I sent a letter to myself, a single page written in a big fat red crayon that said ā€œwhy are you reading my mail, you StinKHeaDā€
When I asked if I got any mail he had a stupid look on his face that revealed the truth, though he never admitted it.

Kind of do the same thing to mind readers. If nothing else, it makes me smile.

It scared me at first until I came to terms with it. I was at a Quaker boarding school, and we sat in ā€œcollectionā€ or silence for 15 or more minutes. During then I began screaming in my head because I felt like everyone could hear my thoughts, it was odd. It was like I could put people under psychic spells. So I was walking outside and I heard two of the students mock me, by screaming in the same tone and then laugh. It was very odd.

I’ve also seen and learned things from psychic dreams. I’ve had only a few precognitive ones. I had a psychic vision of the plane being hijacked a few weeks ago in March the Malaysian ones that went missing because a family member was on a trip to Asia across the sea, so I coincidentally tapped into the vision of the plane. I wrote about it on my blog.

I’ve had people jump up and say things randomly that I was thinking, or that I was afraid of like in the movie Red Lights, which has to do with paranormal investigation and apocalyptic metaphors. I’ve meditated and burnt sage and it started raining or the weather shifted, and everyone in a sort of daze, but people can’t tell when a person manipulates the weather because either we have strong spiritual protection, or it’s just impossible for MOST PEOPLE to break this psychic barrier.

They’ve had psychics spy on Russians and Germany to find out bombs and submarines. Telepathy is provable and exists. It’s how you manage it that matters.

Those who are too frightened by the possibility are better off sheltering themselves from it. But being unaware of psychic abilities also makes you more susceptible to hypothetical psychic influence and mind control. I don’t know if such mind control exists today. My mom told me all about ELF and how the government was using it, she had A TON of knowledge. ELF and Sonar are why whales are beaching themselves. A lot of military technology is destroying the world, biosphere and habitats.

I hope my reaction doesn’t bother or trigger anyone. It’s all about higher thinking and being self aware.

I separate spiritual and psychic phenomena from delusional and histrionic perceptions.

I don’t think beliefs should be controlled.

They certainly don’t act like telepaths on the surface but I’ve had a whole slew of noise that I’ve attributed to telepathy. I certainly hope it’s not real and it seems to finally be going away. The process has transformed me. I think a lot differently now than before. In my mind they call themselves straight people and they have told me I have to learn to be a straight person. The way I’ve interpreted this is learn to be someone who knows that there is telepathy. Those lucky bastards have known their whole life and I’m just now being told at the age of 24. They have unwound me, strung me out, and beaten me down to the point where I’m thoughtless, but I do feel better in a way that I never have before. I’m just hoping I can get back to a regular life with out all this telepathic intrusion so I can at least pretend to have some privacy. They really are ruthless what they’ll do to you. Either that or I’m just schizo and I live in a false reality that I have constructed around myself.

All in all it makes me feel very uneasy. Like I want to physically hide away from people. They seem so alien and different when I believe they are telepaths. Because that means they are capable of doing all the regular things while simultaneously reading my mind and making their telepathic comments.

bryan, i’ve had the same thing u have and believe me, it’s not real. ur mind is producing these voices just as mine did and still does. i don’t hear a lot of strangers anymore but i still hear movie stars and singers both living and dead but the difference is, i now don’t believe they r real. they r just my mind doing impressions of these people. our reasons for hearing them r different but the end result is the same. come on. think about it. why on earth would every one in the country b telepathic and have not told only u about it. i’m not telepathic with u, nobody else on this site is telepathic with u but u can bet ur arse that if we were in the same room u would hear my voice in ur head right? it just can’t b true my lovely. we simply don’t have that capacity and why on earth would all these strangers want to b nasty to u when they don’t even know u? i wrestled with exactly the same delusion twice in about 3 years. the first time it finished i thought it would never happen again but it did and i didn’t fully believe in it but it was very distressing and i questioned my reality. but it wasn’t real. i heard my parents, kids, husband, friends, neighbours, extended family, dog walkers, strangers in shops, cafes, supermarkets…i even saw them in my mind hating on me. the looks on their faces terrified me but it was all bollocks. all of it. nobody can read ur mind. no one. i still have some of those voices now but i don’t believe they r real at all. mine were put in under torture so i was forced to believe in them. i don’t know how they did it and i’m still amazed i fell for it being the rational person i am but i did fall for it so i know how scary it can b but i promise u it’s not real. we just don’t have that capacity. if it was real then why did the c.i.a stop funding remote veiwing experiments? because there wasn’t enough evidence to suggest that it was a real phenomena. proponents will always try and convince u that it’s real but there is no evidence to suggest that it is at all. surely if it was real then someone would have proven it by now. when u think of all the people that wuld want it to b real. all those with an interest in psychic phenomena. why haven’t they been able to prove it? why? because they can’t because it’s not real. i suggest u read ray hyman. he is not a skeptic but he is a debunker. his test criteria for psi experiments is very high and so far nobody has been able to prove to him that psi exists. it may help u in moments of darkness. hope this helps xxxx

i’ve just ordered a book called ā€œthe elusive quarryā€ by ray hyman. it should b a self help manual for anyone suffering from mind reading beliefs.

Yes I feel that I’m battling entities I like to call, (hidden observers). Just like the movie being john malkovich. I also made up the term, (being malkoviched) and now it’s in a Nicki Minaj song called (out of my mind) featuring BOB.

I feel my intellectual property and human rights and freedom of thought are violated every day… I speak as the conditions are quite strange. Today David Petraeus is in my head…started drinking.

I have the opposite problem: I imagine I can discern people’s thoughts (usually negative about me).

The reality is, even if people could read minds, they’d be too preoccupied with their own lives to care.

As someone above mentioned ~ I would get paranoid that I was going to think something absolutely dreadful and embarrass myself and then Ironic Process theory would see to it that I did.

One evening standing guard watch in a conveninece store filled with about seven people all reacting to my thoughts I surrended and emualted a Pac-Man coinop machine.

Someone, somehow is going to have to introduce this odd science issue to a broader range of folks because side-stepping around it is only scaring folks all the more.

Personally I think it’s a disorder where TOO MUCH specific information (ie; chattering, visions) is coming to mind when we’re only meant to be sharing general insight.

Here - I’ll teach you a trick. Next time you are in a room with someone pay attention to the topics coming to mind:

ā€œā€œCatā€ …why did that come to mind? I don’t like cat’sā€¦ā€
ā€œHey, Rachel…did you ever have a cat when you were younger?ā€

Rachel: ā€œAh, funny you should mention… The cat I saw at work today looked like my grandmothers’…the relative we’re going to be visting in the hospital today.ā€

True.

Also you would mostly being hearing garbage thoughts farted by the other’s sub conscience while doing it’s cleaning work in the background of the individuals mind.

Thoughts the other did not even know their mind was excreting and could not be held to them as intentional thoughts from the heart.
