    Are you one of those people who think something, and then start wondering if someone can hear your thoughts, and then say something like the thread title in your head and then they scratch their nose!?? And then you end up thinking something else and then trying to cover up the thought you were just thinking with another thought because you're nervous someone actually is reading your mind, and then you start worrying that they're going to hear your original thought that you're trying to hide, and then you end up trying to fill your thoughts with something else, like thoughts of song lyrics? Or am I the only one who does that?!?!

    Share your if you can read my mind moments please!! I want to know what goes on in your heads when you think someone is listening in.
     
    I often think about people reading my mind and try to change what I'm thinking/think someone loudly over the top of it xD I've never thought of thinking something like the title of this thread though, that's genius... I'm going to start doing that from now on.
     
    I have contemplated what would happen if someone hijacked my brain and started digging their way through my thoughts. I decided if this happened, I would keep repeating "I MUST NOT LOSE!" within my mind over and over in an attempt to defend myself.

    I have also considered what I would do if a public broadcast occurred where the reporter would announce everything I'm thinking. I would die of embarrassment and shame and I would contemplate suicide. If everyone knew all of my hidden thoughts and such I don't think I could live with myself. It is that bad.

    I know it's not quite the same as what the OP requested but this is my interpretation of what you asked for.
     
    Oh god, I am paranoid about mind readers even though I have no reason to be. xD I often wonder "What if someone was reading my mind right now? >__>" I get embarrassed sometimes, because often times, I will have a song I don't like stuck in my head, so I am always like "I hope a mind reader doesn't get to me and think I like this song...>__>"
     
    I never asked someone to scratch their nose (although now I WILL), but I have thought stuff, then apologized for it in my head in case mind readers are around hahah. I figure it can't hurt just in case! I really hope no one reads my mind though, cause when I'm the worst is when I'm around a ton of people in the dining hall so if there was a mind-reader on campus that's where they would most likely be and all I do is rant and scream in my head about how slow and obnoxious people are haha.
     
    I'm not too concerned about mind readers because my thoughts tend to change around at random times. (and no, I don't scratch my nose to change them around)
     
    mind reading?....only real real real close to me can read my mind and not always they are right....my brother says i'm one of the most complecated people he ever know..as he likes to read minds and he never made it and read my thoughts...and i guess nobody would...
     
    I do this all the time, and I especially did it during middle school. I'll be thinking of something, look around at everyone shiftily, then start thinking "LA LA LA LA LA I LIKE GREEN BEANS" in my mind because I know SOMEONE has read my mind. I just know it. They did. They won't tell me, but they did! ...That also goes through. They know I caught them.
     
    I do this as well, almost all the time. Like if I'm thinking something secret or mean or gross or personal and even when I'm thinking about everyday things. I just can't help but feel that I've ran into a mind reader at least once.
     
    no. but i like to creepily stare people down and make them think i am reading their mind.
     
    I don't think I've ever worried about people reading my mind. It's not going to happen. And if it does, 9 times out of 10 what I'm thinking is either stupid, uninteresting, or nothing of grave consequence.

    Sometimes I think something awful and then I'll distract myself with something new, but that's because I'm personally embarrassed at myself, not because I'm afraid of people reading my mind at that moment.
     
    I have wondered it at times, but nothing quite like that. lol

    I have tried to trick my pets into talking to me though. lul
     
    Nope. Sorry. I think people have enough stuff going on in their own heads (if I'm any indicator) to think about potential mind-reading of other people.
     
    Um. No. Not at all.

    Well. Just after my grandmother had died when I was a kid, for some reason I thought she'd be able to read my mind so I tried not to think about ANYTHING bad out of fear of disappointing her or something. I grew out of the phase pretty quickly but I still look back on it and half-facepalm half-awww.

    But that's the only thing I can think of. I don't believe in conventional mind-reading. I believe that science may one day be able to scan a brain and be able to tell roughly what someone might be thinking about but not their literal thoughts.
     
    Call me crazy, but I just think that sometimes. I KNOW people can't read minds (or can they?), but I do cover up my dirty thoughts anyway. But I don't touch my face... so yeah.
     
    I've never tried to tell people to do stuff like scratching their noses because it never occurred to me to try it out lmao. But yeah I do sometimes worry a bit that people could read my mind, especially if I'm thinking of something particularly important or personal and they're acting oddly. Then again that could just be me getting paranoid over nothing lol. I don't see why anyone would like to read my mind anyway!
     
    This happens to me quite a bit lol - I've never actually thought to ask them to give me a signal but I have had thoughts and thought "crap, what if they can read my mind?" and then I pay very close attention to my thoughts for the next few minutes lol. But the thing is, thought doesn't really work in the same way sound does, so no matter how loudly you try to sing in your head over the thoughts, it doesn't matter because you can have a song in your head and be thinking other thoughts at the same time.

    Also, the problem is, when you think somebody might be able to read your mind and you don't want them to know what you're thinking, you tend to start thinking of the exact things you don't want them to know! So I try not to have these thoughts for my own mental health lol.

    They did a Buffy episode on this called Earshot, if anybody would like to do further research on the subject :P

    EDIT: OH ALSO - I don't see why anybody with the power to read minds would ever want you to know about it, so I don't think asking them to scratch their nose or whatever would actually be fruitful in any way.
     
    Happens to me often, as well. I don't think of people as 'the mindreaders', but I do believe there's at least someone who can read my mind. Still, it doesn't occur that often to make me paranoid about it.
