I could still sense all the different tracks, but instead of her thoughts being a stream, a linear track like they usually are, they were all over the place. Shooting off in disparate streams, totally unconnected. So I tried to hold onto one but wasn’t able to get a foothold and follow any of them (and then she booted me out by thinking about a girl she likes, a tactic she’s discovered that is deeply annoying). Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. There have been people with confusing and scattered thoughts, of course, but never to this degree, especially not with her. She’s a really ordered person in her thinking and each train of thought always has a really distinct feel (which is what makes nope-ing out of there any time she’s thinking about anything remotely romantic very easy thank GOD), but other than a few clear tracks, it felt like some of the thoughts weren’t even … tangible? Like there was no train to grab onto.

Has that ever happened to anyone before? Any telepaths experience a non-drug-induced block?

tldr: Something has shifted in my sister’s head that’s making it hard to read her thoughts. She also got hurt recently and has been kind of squirrelly around us, telling us she had a Rollerblading accident but sidestepping giving any more details. She wasn’t seriously hurt at the time, or so I thought, but could she have a head injury? Is it something I should talk to my parents about (both “Unusuals”) or should I just let it go?

damn, dude, your posts are always my favorite—do you sell any of your original writing? I would totally buy a kindle book of yours. With all the mind reader fiction I’ve read, I never would have thought about when it doesn’t work.

first of all, why do you assume I’m a guy? second of all, I’m still learning, just chill. not everyone is good at fully immersing themselves right away.

n/iwannabelieve I think you might be looking for the community/scifirpg or community/fantasyrpg pages. This forum might not be right for you.

where did you say you guys lived again? I might know a doc who specializes in *our kind of stuff* who could help out.
