Thread: Accidental telepathy?

You are so good-looking. Killer eyes, they're fantastic .

TB

Heh... I'd say killer-everything But as I said in my PM. You should learn how to control your remarkable gift, not get rid of it. Force it to obey your will. I think that would be the best solution. But then again, I'm not you. So ultimately it's your own desicsion, of course, but that's my suggestion. Easier said then done, I know...

This is some information I found off www.crystalinks.com/telepathy.html -

Once you open the door to telepathy - it should work like a light switch. You can turn it off - tune off - or turn it on by focusing your thoughts. Rarely does one find that they are bombarded by the thoughts of others all the time. It would drive you crazy.[/b]

That's exactly the problem. It's driving me crazy!

So you said it isn't everyone you can hear but how often do you hear people? Not a day goes by where you don't hear someone else's thoughts?

I noticed you have a myspace. I got one too, It's in my profile if you wanna take a look.

It sounds to me like your condition is similar to schizophrenia. You are hearing mumblings or voices and it is driving you crazy...easily a form of schizophrenia.

I recommend trying any of these natural remedies for schizophrenia and/or psychosis and anxiety:

St. John's Wort
Ginko Biloba
Ginseng

You can purchase any of those in a drug store or a store like Walmart. They help to clear mental functions and help you think clearly, and to put your mind at ease. I think if you try those, especially in combination, you will notice it going away.

But I do suggest for the interest of science and further understanding of this little-understood and unproven condition, that you apply to be tested by the James Randi foundation, so they can see this phenomena first-hand. You can refuse an offer of money of course, but it would sure help in advancing science. But anyway, you can try out those herbal supplements I suggested.

I say don't get rid of special gifts like that or you'll be sorry!

I can't hear everyone clearly, but I can hear the people who are thinking loudly- especially angry or upset people. It averages about five times a day when I'm at home, significantly more if I'm at school, work, or somewhere similarly crowded.

What I'm experiencing is definitely not a form of schizophrenia. I've tested it many, many times. As a waitress, I see tons of customers every day, and I can always hear what the louder thinkers are going to order beforehand.

Dagonis, your myspace doesn't work.

I say that you probaly can't get rid of it only contorl it, and by the way like I said before it's not all happy happy joy joy, if your too sweet to use it to ur advantage then what good is it?
Any person whould love to read minds buts thats because there only thinking or themselves, but like I said before you probaly shound't listen to me I don't know much about these things

whoa when the hell did I get over 100 posts?

Wierd it works for me when I click it... Oh well *shrug* I sent you a friend invitation. I'm a little bit like you I feel bad when I take advantage of people. I don't think I'm as sensitive as you are about it though. If I had the ability to hear other people's thoughts I probably would use it to help me as long as I wasn't hurting anyone in the process.

Than i know something a link! i used to beleve it was real but i stoped if you want advide on how to controll it go to http://www.psipog.net psipog stands for PSYCIC STUDENTS IN PERSUIT OF GUIDANCE it might be a great site for u if u need any help feel free to PM me i say dont get rid of it but grow it since now you know psicic abilities are real and i dont beleive in em becouse i didint get results after MONTHS of practising but look up sheilds in psipog.com ah il just give you a link here

http://www.psipog.net/articles.php?cat=202

i suggest reading all of them and trying it out. it might take practice! also the chat in psipog is great for help and dont forget the Q&A i dont think your crazy but im sorry if i offend anyone but i think your lying but i dont know if you realy are and if psycic abilities are real. Good Luck! i suggest reading the newbie guide first and try making psiballs before doing sheilds.

PS. psiballs are mostly invisible and are only visible sometimes as PSIPOG says.

PPS. if i would of gotten any results from the psipog practices i would of stuck with it but i didint so i go with BS

Im sorry if i have offended anyone those are just my opinions

The supplements you mentioned don't in any way cure schizophrenia. There is currently no cure for schizophrenia. The only way to improve is with the combination of psychotherapy and drug therapy, usually with use of neuroleptic drugs, though I think there are some newer drugs that don't have the normal long term side effects of other neuroleptics(tardive diskinesia and akathisia).

Also Quitch, I don't think you have schizophrenia. But this is just what I have gathered from what I have read and I'm not a psychiatrist. I honestly don't know how you would go about trying to make these things you hear stop. I suppose you would have to try different methods of thinking to maybe try to focus your mind away from the thoughts you hear from other people. I personally am a little skeptical, but if people can have shared dreams I suppose a lot is possible so I guess I'll be open minded. Anyway, I wish I could help you more but that's all I got. I hope you find a way to solve this problem.

As one of the people suggested, try going to psipog.net and learn their shielding techniques.

You could also try to use your gift to help people, this way it won't seem like a burden to you and more like an actual gift.

The only way to make that stop that I could find involved burning you on a stake. But I'd much rather you join my team of super villains. So far it's just me and a guy who can light his farts on fire, but we're still pretty bad ass!

But in all seriousness, pay attention to how you have your awareness focused on these people when you hear their thoughts. You may notice that you latch onto them, so to speak, with your awareness in a way you can avoid doing in the future. Really the way to make it stop is learning how to make it happen whenever you want.

I believe that I've inherited my father's "talent" to hear the thoughts of others.

Since this accidental telepathy turned out to be a huge problem for my dad in his early 20's until he figured out how to silence it, I was discouraged from using this ability, and it eventually went away. ( or so I thought ).

However, in the recent years, it's been returning. It began with me frequently asking people what they said when I heard them mutter something, with me being told that they hadn't said anything at all. It's progressed to where I can hear certain people thinking very clearly. I think perhaps some people think louder than others?

The point of this post is that I don't want this ability, and would like advice on how to get rid of it. I feel as if I'm invading the most fundimental aspects of human privacy by listening to the thoughts of others, and I want to turn it off. Although I've asked my father for advice on silencing this numerous times, none of his suggestions have helped at all. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, and do they know a cure?

Happens to me from time to time, a cure? Didn't consider it a disease.

yea dont go to a doctor ! they will say you have bi-polar and ruin your life.

No experience in the field, but it sounds like you compare this to hearing. It is possible to block out things that you can hear, right? You just kinda gloss over outside sounds, like when you are concentrating hard on something. Maybe telepathy works the same way, but takes practice(note that my method will require you to use telepathy to learn to stop it)

Find a friend that is a loud thinker. Come up with some cover excuse to go somewhere with them, somewhere with a crowd of people. See if you can keep yourself focused on the thoughts of your friend, and not on the others in the crowd. Hopefully you can learn to only hear the things you want to - and then choose to hear nothing!

If all else fails, it could be a useful tool as a teacher.

i try to keep an open mind about things and have long since learned that there are many things in this world that are stranger than most people would believe could exist. however, I have a hard time believing that what you're experiencing is actually telepathy in the way you're leading us to assume it is. I'm not saying that what you're experiencing isn't real... just that i'm skeptical that it's really what you're making it out to be. Everyone gives off energies, and I'm sure its possible for the subconscious mind to be able to detect specific feelings of someone and be able to put those specific feelings and the current scenario into words. There are a lot of things the subconscious mind can do that just seem crazy sometimes. But actually hearing exactly what someone is thinking... sounds a bit hollywood. Either you're starting to show signs of schitzophrenia, in which case I would probably see someone about that. (and if your father experiences these same things... i dont know... studies have shown that schitzophrenia show strong signs of hereditary cause) Or you're more in touch with the abilities of your subconscious mind. Abilities that everyone has, but not everyone knows how to use. If that's the case, I wouldn't worry about it or feel like I was invading someone's privacy. If you really don't like it and can't learn to ignore it, maybe you should see a therapist?

No offence, but even though you may not want this ability, think about it. What if by getting rid of this ability you are cutting a future race of humans who inherently have this ability right out of the gene pool? Any inherent psychic talent is not something to be squandered.

Consider it.

EDIT: Btw, the correct term for your ability is 'empathy,' not telepathy. It's different. Your ability is not telepathy (active communication between minds) it's empathy (ability to sense others moods and thoughts without trying).

EDIT EDIT: Actually I may be wrong on that, I'm no psychic-ability-termage expert. Look it up to be sure.

Cool ability, how do you do it? Do you hear their exact thoughts to the letter, or do you hear something similar? Do you hear their thoughts verbalized in their voice or in yours or in some neutral voice? Can you always do it, or does it happen once in a while? Does it happen with everyone, or only with certain people you are close with it?

It´s all in your head. There is no connection between your brains and the brains of other people. You are just thinking things, and cuz of some reason you hear your thoughs. When you know, what people are gonna order, well: you are a good guesser.

Just know this: It is no "telepathy". But it is something inside your head.
