I don't know that it's a "I know what you want better than you do" thing; more a "I know what it is I have to say and it might be a lot worse than you are expecting" thing. I can't speak for everyone but I know I have trouble even THINKING about some aspects of this whole mess, let alone actually forcing myself to SAY it to someone else.

Maybe everyone is actually an alien doppleganger plotting against you. It could happen, I guess.
