 Absolutely! I wish I knew about this when making my current Rogue. It's literally how she acts already! 

Is this a punishment for DM's?

Why is it a punishment?

Punishment, for dumb players

Could it be possible to update this with a small change of "Your mind cannot be read nor can you receive telepathic messages"?

This is a cool idea but realistically no one would ever take this feat because no one wants to make there character worse

On the contrary - I've offered flaw feats in a number of campaigns and players have enjoyed the ability to have flaws impact more than just a flavour. Not everyone is minmaxing their character - some people are in it for the storytelling and want the storytelling to inform the mechanics of the game. Those people don't want their flavour to become meaningless just because initiative was rolled.

As an example - in Critical Role Season 2, Liam O'brien worked with Matt Mercer to have a flaw such that his wizard, Caleb Widogast, could be "stunned" in combat if he saw a humanoid on fire.

Flaws are a great way to entice players to think deeper about characters and offering a feat/ASI provides them with a veritable carrot (a buff) to go with the stick (a debuff).

Interesting concept, I like it
