One skill I would like to have: mind-reading.

There is so much said that we don\’t really mean. There\’s so much we want to say, but we don\’t say it because we\’re being polite or we\’re afraid to express ourselves. We are afraid of the consequences, because we don\’t know how the hearer will react.

I want to read people\’s minds and not have to guess what they\’re thinking.

But yet, there was a study done on couples. If a couple was totally in tune with each other\’s thoughts, their relationship wasn\’t that great. At the same time, if the couple didn\’t hear each other\’s thoughts at all, then the relationship wasn\’t great. Optimally, it was supposed to be somewhere in the middle–that both people would know 50% of each other\’s thoughts.

But for me, I dislike guessing. I would rather know. Pry into your mind, please!
