Only when they explain their past experiences and general disposition do their reactions make sense. Unfortunately only a few explain, so all you usually get is the puzzling reaction. > " The psychosocial mirror affect is always applicability whether online or > in life. " I find this to be true too. " Another being (Organic conscious unit) is just the selfs reflection of there own self. It is not that another doesnt exist its simply not of self. " Right. We all tend to project our own selves onto others sometimes. > " Also thinking in pictures is a trait of visual spatial learning. " Correct. This can make it difficult, arduous or impossible to translate one's concepts back into words. And then those words have to be communicated to another person who will interpret them according to his or her own personal understanding of those words and back into a concept in their own mind. Much can get warped along the way. If one could just sort of 'fax' over the original thoughtform straight into the other person's mind, there could be no room for translation errors. But unfortunately, that's not the communication mode used on this planet. Pity, isn't it? Inger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Inger, You are right on how to handle people. It takes practice to listen to what they are are saying and learning how to ask questions and all that. Still, it can be done. Once you have made progress along those lines it becomes possible to pay more attention to facial expressions and body language. Body language is easier to handle since it tends to be more overt and longer lasting than than facial expressions. It is also easier for me than facial expressions since I don't like staring at people's faces all the time. One thing about body language though. I once came across the following story. There was a party at a college for the professors, their families and friends. This one professor of psychology was making observations about people based on their body language. He noticed this one married couple sitting side by side on a sofa. This prof declared that their marriage would not last long because of the way their crossed their legs: they were crossed away from each other rather than toward each other which meant hostility and distrust. The professors he told this to laughed at him and explained. That prof and his wife had been married for 30 years. They crossed their legs the way they did because one was right handed and the other left handed. The professor had a habit of writing in a notebook place on this lap and the wife reading a book placed in her lap. Their handedness made having one leg on top of the other more comfortable. They had been doing that for so long that their bones had adjusted to that position and they were practically unable to cross their legs the other way without great discomfort. I imagine that actually managed to shut the blowhard up for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 : > One thing about body language though. I once came across the following story. There was a party at a college for the professors, their families and friends. This one professor of psychology was making observations about people based on their body language. He noticed this one married couple sitting side by side on a sofa. This prof declared that their marriage would not last long because of the way their crossed their legs: they were crossed away from each other rather than toward each other which meant hostility and distrust. The professors he told this to laughed at him and explained. That prof and his wife had been married for 30 years. They crossed their legs the way they did because one was right handed and the other left handed. The professor had a habit of writing in a notebook place on this lap and the wife reading a book placed in her lap. Their handedness made having one leg on top of the other more comfortable. They had been doing that for so long that their bones had adjusted to that position and they were practically unable to cross their legs the other way without great discomfort. I imagine that actually managed to shut the blowhard up for a little while. LOL! That's exactly how NTs often misinterpret us Aspies. They confuse neurological signs with psychological. This was an excellent example of such a situation. Lesson to be taught by it: what looks exactly the same may have many different causes. And the same cause may have many different effects. This goes for everything, including both psychology and medicine. Inger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Ken: > I cannot tell a lie; it was I who brought up the " button pushing. " I didn't mean to imply that you were pushing buttons. Rather, it was your posts that elicited reactions in me and some others that I referred to as button pushing. > For me, it was the frustration about being stuck and feeling defeated that I read into your posts. That brings up the desire to say, " No, don't feel defeated, do something about it. " I think that's a natural human reaction to want to help and to feel that you would hate to be in that place, so no one else should be allowed to stay in that place either. Thanks for explaining it this way, Ken. I think you hit it right on the mark. And do you see how much easier it is for the other person not to feel attacked when you talk about YOUR feelings like you just did here, instead of saying what you think the other person should do or not do (to fix his situation and ease your frustration)? This is what Marshall Rosenberg calls speaking Giraffe. > In any event, I feel that many of the responses came from a place of compassion, even if the suggestions were not always applicable to your actual situation. Yes, I this is the impression I got too. And how I meant my own input as well. But it's always hard when one does not have enough facts of the situation. That's why I wanted to know more before forming an opinion or giving any advice. Inger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I understand your point, Inger, and I absolutely agree. What I'm not completely clear on is how to respond when someone says they are in the pits and don't know how to get out. Then you seemed to say that you were drawn to try and offer helpful advice but needed more information. Are you saying that it's fine to offer help, but only if you have enough information to do so?
