Would You Stay If Your Partner Could Read Your Mind? Exploring Trust and Privacy

Hello, my dear readers, and also new visitors to my blog. As usual, every week I bring you a very interesting topic from the HL community.

And in this case, it is about reading the mind.

This offers many possibilities and is an extremely interesting topic because we have all fantasized about having superpowers and acquiring or having the superpower of reading the mind is one of these opportunities or occasions with which we have imagined many times having that ability.

And to get into this topic and not fantasize too much about the side of comics and superheroes, I will start by answering the first question.

What would you do if you found that your partner can currently read minds but never told you about them?

Well, I would really be surprised first.

It would be a big shock because when I found out that someone is able to know everything, to read everything I think, and to know all my darkest wishes, secrets, and my thought processes, it is really something that causes a very strong first impact.

I would be left with a series of questions that obviously my partner would read if she had that power and I don't know how she could react because, first of all, she would ask me why she had never told me.

Why did I have to realize this? And why would she start questioning me? How much confidence would she have in me?.

Or that she would not have confidence because she precisely did not tell me that she had this ability to read minds and she kept it to herself or simply felt so much fear that I had an explosive reaction knowing that she had the ability to read minds that she preferred to stay without telling me, to keep the secret.

That would be the first thing I would do, to start thinking about all the possibilities of why she didn't tell me before.

And this, of course, immediately, she would know because she is reading my mind. Which immediately, or most likely, knowing my human conduct, would lead us to enter into a heated discussion of why she didn't tell me and why I'm thinking this or that.

And we would then enter into a debate about trust within the couple. Which would lead us to an eternal discussion about the topic.

We move on to the second question.

If you knew that she could read minds from the beginning, would you have gotten into a relationship with her?

Well, I'm really going to answer with a lot of honesty.

As a good human being that I am, I would not have gotten into a relationship with her because knowing that someone has the ability to read my mind, it's really that I wouldn't have any secrets with her.

Well, it seems to me that the relationship wouldn't be interesting because, precisely as human beings, we always like to have that component of the unknown.

That challenge of not knowing how the other person is going to react.

And the fact of knowing that she knows how I'm going to react and how I'm going to think or the possible solutions that I'm going to try to realize to a certain amount of problems takes away the challenge and the interest in the relationship.

So, for me, I don't think I would establish a relationship with someone like that, not out of fear, but because it ceases to be challenging and it ceases to be interesting.

But, of course, that's in my case. I'm someone who is very intellectual and who likes intellectual challenges.

The relationships that nurture the couple and make me grow.

A relationship where they read my mind and know everything that I think, I don't think it would be very challenging and very productive.

This brings us to the next question.

Will it be a deal breaker?

Well, I think it would be a very decisive factor because, as I explained earlier, I wouldn't want to have a relationship with someone who already knows everything I think and who expects or knows how I'm going to react to something.

So, if she knows how I'm going to react to a problem, she's going to interact or proceed in a different way because she's going to be prejudiced, she's going to be prepared for that thought.

And this could make the relationship very boring and predictable because she would know everything I'm going to think.

She would know, for example, when I'm going to give her a gift or when I want to have sex with her or when I want to invite her out.

Or she would also know when I feel bad.

So, knowing when a person wants to give you a gift or wants to give you a surprise eliminates the surprise factor and eliminates that nice gesture that can exist in a relationship.

And I think it would be a very decisive factor that would definitely damage the relationship.

This brings us to the last question.

What would it mean for the relationship that you are practically an open book to her?

Well, I've already said this and explained it in other points. It would really represent a very boring relationship because she would know all my secrets.

And she could take two paths:

She could simply fight with me and argue about all the secrets that she already knows.

Or simply, which would probably be what she would do, right? She would start arguing with me about all the dark secrets that I have.

Like, I wake up at midnight to eat something in the kitchen. Or I don't take off the lid of the toilet, etc.

All those little secrets that I keep, she would already know them.

She would know about my sexual preferences. Which could seem quite alarming to her, to be honest.

She would also know about all my intrusive thoughts.

And that would probably give her a completely negative perspective of me because my intrusive thoughts are really surrealistic.

So, what it would mean that I am an open book to her is that she could take two paths. She could probably think that I am a really bizarre, detestable, and unappetizing person.Or the complete opposite, that I am a challenge to her and someone really interesting.

That would probably be the first thing. Because people who are so active mentally and so creative usually have an imaginary world that is completely huge, fanciful, and very surrealistic.

And people with an average intelligence who have this ability to read the mind or to read my mind would not be used to such a surrealistic universe like the one we live in and the one I live in.

So, this would obviously break the relationship and make the relationship unfavorable.

This has been a very interesting topic and a very interesting point of view to answer all these questions of whether someone reads the mind or not.

What makes me think of a world where people had this ability to read the mind.

There would be no secrets of state and everyone would be paranoid.

There would be trained people or trained spies to store thoughts in the most remote places of their brain.

Personal, mercenaries, specially trained psychologically for this. It would be a topic of a movie and it would be quite interesting.

Interesting topics that we deal with in this community.

Thank you for reading me and I hope that my point of view has been quite entertaining and educational.
