Re: Private
I agree with you, there. Though when I say sheltered, I mean I spent most of my life in a well-guarded compound away from the rest of the general public - humans, really. It's just the way my people are. We like living away from the rest of the world.
People always fear what they can't control or understand. I've been there myself, with my own powers. I'm not a telepath like you, but I've got some things I can do that really scared me, at first.
If I use my skills too much, it has a negative impact on my health... especially mentally. So I have to be careful. I've been taking mood stabilizers to turn it off in a sense, but I can feel it creeping up on me since I don't have them here.
