lol, i assume you haven't been watching the right nature docs. deception runs rampant in the animal kingdom is an understatement
If humans were telepathic you’d never leave the house. Imagine what a walk around the city would reveal……… oh shit that woman is cheating on her husband with another woman and is planning to leave him next week, omg that guy that just walked past me killed his wife and got away with it, he buried her body just off of Route 1 in Danvers, ha what do you know the cashier at CVS is skimming money from the register, omg my sons school teacher is a pedophile and exchanges kiddie porn every night on the dark web, (but who can I tell) What do you know ha, ha, ha, the 50 year old bald butcher behind the counter at Shaws market dresses up in women’s clothes at night and masturbates to grannie porn, omg that banker is involved in a Ponzi scheme and has stolen tens of thousands of dollars...etc...
Noo. If I was telepatchic there'd surely be a cloaking mechanism to shield thoughts from other telepathic people. They'd have to study you real hard to read you and you would know they are doing it, so you can wallop! Them on the nose and tell 'em to buzz off. That's the way I see it lol. Otherwise you'd literally just go insane like you say you'd never leave the house lol. You can be beta-hotwater telepathic but I'm going for femme-alpha Irminsul 2.0 telepathic.
