Telepathy. A bad mind can poison the thought pool.
I like this answer because, like... a lot of the others are "clever" misinterpretations of how powers classically work, trying to force real-life physics into superhero logic and stuff.
But no. Not this one. Your mind-reading powers can function exactly like how comic books say it should, and you can still be scarred by what you found rummaging through that one guy's head.
Oh imagine sitting behind somebody with a twisted mind. It’d be like driving past a car accident; you shouldn’t look, but you keep looking!!
