    With telepathy, I do sometimes wonder if the telepaths see no point in making external facial expressions for the benefit of their fellow telepaths.

    People born blind still make facial expressions. It’s hard wired into us to make the expressions, even for a tiny moment, and suppressing those facial expressions is learned.

    That’s probably why I still laugh, cry, wince, widen my eyes in surprise, etc., when watching TV by myself.

    So I don’t think telepathy would change that behavior.

      Yeah this. They’re just miserable. There was an Outer Limits episode in the 90s or 00s where a guy in an apartment building got telepathy and it drive him insane.
