Do not try to block your thoughts. How can we talk then? I collect the thoughts you are forming about me; this is how we interact, understand?
See, you humans can keep your thoughts private. You have to vocalize to share your thoughts. There is no such distinction between public and private for me; I am an open book for all to read.
Your thoughts are alarmed? What is there to be alarmed about? We are all open and honest with each other so there is nothing to hide. Maybe that is why our society is so stable. We have no private thoughts; there is no privacy.
