Your reactions?

Question

If a friend could prove to you without a shadow of a doubt that they are able to hear your thoughts and feel exactly how you feel (hypothetically speaking) what would your honest reactions be?

Answer 1

I would just wonder what the trick was... The wizards always behind the curtain.

Answer 2

I'd take my friend to JREF and agree to split the winnings!

Answer 3

Well um I don't want people reading my mind. I'd be shocked.

Answer 4

Not sure if first I should go to prove it and collect my million dollar prize money from the Amazing Randi - or use it in some other devious way first - like for gambling.

But I don't think anyone needs to worry about it too much - since it isn't ever likely to actually happen.

Answer 5

I'd be happy because that's perfect understanding.  That's actually where we are all heading.  Edgar Cayce said we ALL have the ability to do such things.  

Anyway, if for once someone could feel what I'm feeling and know why...it'd be the best day of my life.  Peace :)

Answer 6

I always make sure to ask permission before reading someone's thoughts. Of course, I rarely need to ask, since most of my friends are constantly badgering me to try reading them.

Answer 7

I would say OMG your psychic. Let me help you develop!!!

Answer 8

It would not surprise me at all.  We chose our friends for many reasons.  Some are because they think just like us.  It may even go further then that.  Your brains may even working on the same level or frequencies much like twins.  Some twins seem like they have one brain working both of them.  I have a friend that was born on the same day I was and we are always   thinking and feeling the same things.  My twin from another mother.

Answer 9

I'd be floored. Would their knowledge do me any good, and vice-versa? Could we help each other, or would the ability just be a late-night talk-show 15 minutes of fame?

Answer 10

I'd be very uncomfortable with it because your thoughts are a private thing and lets say that I were to accidentally run into this person that I've been avoiding because they can read my thoughts, Yet I ran into them. I would be concintrating on trying to keep my mind blank of all thoughts. I'd be that self contious.

Answer 11

I would have them deported

Answer 12

I agree with Dexter, I would probably try to stay as far away from them as possible,  or get nervous and start thinking innapropriate gross thoughts that I wouldnt normally think. I'd try to clear my mind, but I think I would have a breakdown.

Answer 13

that would be great in some ways, but knot if you didnt want them too no... i think its cool and i do think it does happen......... betty.

Answer 14

That would be sweet. S/he would learn a lot of things about me, and I look a lot more creepy than I already am. Also, I'd go to Hollywood. Get famous.

Answer 15

At first I would be very excited because having that ability would be amazingly cool. Then after a while I might become weary. Do I really want someone to be able to hear my every single thought? There would be both pros and cons, but overall it would be astounding.

Answer 16

I would stay WAY away.  I don't want anyone that deep in my head.  I would be unbelievably self-concious, I would start thinking thoughts I don't actually believe just because they were inappropriate, and I'd probably drive that friend away because I'd think something about them that I didn't really feel, but he/she wouldn't trust that because they knew the thoughts.
