Psychic abilities are just too weird. I can't think about that. If psychic abilities existed, I would have to change my beliefs about the world, and my stability would fall apart. If I try to gain psychic abilities, I might lose control of them and hurt someone. I don't like who I would be if I could use psychic abilities.
Psychic abilities are scary.
If I can't do it the first time, it's not worth the effort. I'll try a few times. I sometimes get frustrated, but I keep trying. I'll figure it out eventually. Things worth learning are worth practicing.
