...I hope there is, at the very least, some mental equivalent of eyelids.

It's been a long time since I watched HBO's True Blood.  And even longer since I've watched the first episode(s).  But, as I recall, that's a problem Anna Paquin's Sookie Stackhouse character had: difficulty blocking out everyone else's thoughts.  Working as a waitress in a crowded restaurant and being bombarded with what everyone was thinking.

Star Trek TNG handled this well in the episode Tinman where we meet the Federation’s most powerful telepath, and find out he was patient at a psychiatric hospital when Troi was interning because he could not turn off background thoughts.
