Wouldn't life be much easier if you could read minds? I think it would. It would make business, relationships, and all sorts of things so much more simple if you could tell what people thought rather than being in the dark so much of the time.
The ability to read every thought would get annoying, we all have enough noise in our own heads without adding outside interference, but being able to figure out specific feelings without having to be told would be very nice. I am very good at reading people (how they are feeling, etc.), but sometimes I use that ability too much, and it ends up being a detriment.
Sometimes, I read that someone is unhappy, and it happens to be true, but I incorrectly assume that it is something that I have done and I try to fix it. Fixing things is another part of my nature, I'm a problem solver. In the cases where I didn't actually do anything wrong, though, my attempt to try to fix things ends up making the problem worse for the person I was trying to help. If I don't make the problem worse, I end up being resented for trying to butt in where I had no business. If I realized that I had no business butting in, I obviously never would have, but because I don't realize, I make a mistake.
Maybe I make things too complicated and I read feelings into people where those feelings don't exist. It would be nice to know, though. Maybe reassurance would help. Maybe not. I don't know, and not knowing sucks.
