Why do not my own thoughts get through?

I guess I didn’t realize that we don’t always choose what we are thinking about . Our own thoughts get blocked and replaced by someone else’s thinking. Like someone says “Thou shalt not think that.” Actually, I like my own thoughts maybe better than the “boss’s”. Someone just wasn’t being helpful.

Like when someone says, “Whatever you do, don’t think about pink elephants?” And then it’s the only thing you can think about? Ugh I hate that!
