I have always had trouble when people tell me that no one can "read minds". In fact I think people can, or some people, myself included sometimes, can tell a whole lot of what is going on in other people's minds. When I am told I have to be very specific and detailed, I am often at a loss, because at times I do not think well, and cannot "be specific". At other times I can. I find it frightening when, at times when my mind is shut down, it is demanded of me that I "be specific". I think that is because when I was a child, if I told what I really thought, I would be severely punished. In our family, it was a stupid mistake to say what we really thought, rather than what our mother required us to say. So often, now, I do not even know what I think, let alone what to say. Some people can handle this, having an instinct for the cause of it, and others get very upset, maybe also having an instinct for the cause but not wanting to understand it, as it brings up unwelcome feelings of their own.
