I’d want to try the telepathic society before deciding, but would probably opt out. I like games, and I like some game-like social structures, and acting in ignorance of the other person’s plans is an important ingredient in games. If I specifically want someone to know that I’m thinking, then we have a variant of telepathy called “talking” that I can employ.
For the duration of the game, you can voluntarily not read other people’s thoughts/feelings, just like you voluntarily don’t peek into other players’ hands in a card game. Well, at least I don’t.

I doubt you are usually presented the opportunity—by design, of course.
