If I could read thoughts of others I would keep it to myself. Why? Not all would understand your new profound talent and might begin to fear what they can not do themselves. The word Jealousy does come to mind...

would it not be in our interest to keep it a secret. first of all in these day and age trust is not easy to come by as people are more suspicious of each other. that's not to say it wasn't like that before in the days gone but there was loyalty coehersion but today people are encouraged to ask question and also speak their mind or (so we would like to think).coming to the point, even friends will stay away because we all know things we think at times by simply watching people, even our loved ones but never speak out for various reasons to stay close perhaps will be revealed and simple truth can hurt. many a times as humans we let our mind wonder, sometimes its not pretty thoughts. definitely any one will be fear full of what they will reveal. it also depends on the person.eg. me if i have that ability do i have the control of emotions and the wisdom of such gift. am i a manipulator of honest i would personally will not allow anyone to enter my private world no matter how honest the possessor of such ability is. but if its myself and i am an honest disciplined person then i would not let every one in to the secret but would use it for good use. may be someone very close to me whom i trust and its mutual i will share that secret if only for my sanity but certainly not the authority. lets hope and see.

I would keep to myself I would not tell anyone. Who would want to be your friend if you were always reading their minds. I guess if it was passive or active if were able to read peoples minds with out trying. I would go insane hearing so many thoughts of what people really thought. Most humans have impulse control you might think about a lot of things but not act on them. I would use this new found power to be a poker player and win a few mill and retire.

Tell a few people but it would be way more fun as a secret

I'd def keep it secret. You'd never get any rest, everyone wanting to know what this person or that person was thinking about. On the plus side, I'd never have to ask anyone 'So, What you thinking?'

Well I cam sort of see through peoples character just by looking at them.
I don't keep it a secret but I don't shout it from the rooftops either.

Keep it a secret, so I'd know what my kids were planning and also what they really think of me when they get told off.

I wouldn't tell anyone but my best friends because if you go around saying that they'll think you're mad. But also people will not want to talk to you as they can't lie to you and be all nice if they actually don't like you.Best friends will keep your secrets and trust you XX

Keep it a secret! They do not need to know that I know the truth. :)
