I'm calling you bastards out.

[Freeky]

I get that a lot, too, particularly if several people are laughing at something I didn't hear.

Richter,
does this thought ever cross your mind seriously?
i find myself being paranoid about mind reading on, at least, a weekly basis....
i find myself apologizing mentally to people for the wicked thought about them i just had, and then find myself angry at them for invading my privacy.

I have, back in school especially, and the thought patterns took very simialr turns to yours.  I also worked up a litmus test for it; run through funny, random, tragic, or horrible crap inside your own head, and quietly observe others for a reaction.  Look for signifigant corresponding results.  (I've yet to see them, so either no psychics, or a few with very good poker faces.)

I'm a paranoid bastard, but I try to roll with it to make it an asset, not a detriment.  Thinking others are reading my brain is a matter of boredom in a self - conscious / self critical brain that has way more processing power than the current conditions require.  Outside of meetings, class rooms, etc., I NEVER think like that, which was one hint.  Currently, if the brain needs to chew on something, I try to give it more productive material to chew on.  Focusing on situational / social awareness, counting potential fire exits, what people are wearing, etc., are a few of my favorites.    

I'VE BEEN READING YOUR MIND FOR YEARS

Totally agree with you and Vartox.  It's an easy whim that you see more evidence for than against, if you look too hard.
