I don't, which is why half betazoid is a nice happy medium. Her mom on the other hand, would definitely not fall into the marry category for me.

Aw man I gotta turn in my Star Trek fan card, I forgot she was half betazoid. I haven't been able to watch TNG since they moved it from Netflix to Paramount+.

Naw, I don't fly that flag unless the media I want is unavailable for purchase. I just need to buy a physical copy of TNG like I did DS9.

She's described as an empath rather than a telepath but she does display telepathic abilities. I think she's just a weak telepath by betazoid standards and that's why they highlight her abilities as an empath. In Encounter at Farpoint Troi is able to communicate mind to mind with Riker suggesting that with some time and emotional connection at will or continuous mind reading is a possibility for her.
