Mind Reading

[PrinceDaadi]

There is no such a thing as mind reading.We only make judgment based on previous experience.

of course we cant read ppl's mind jst guess work besides i dont think it will be good that we can read other ppl's mind exactly what they r thinking at that time, though i watched a movie where this girl could read ppl mind.

over the years ive made a concious effort to try to keep eye contact. but it gets awkward.

beans, observation skills are very useful.

True Alpha but reality is,everyone has something important to say and just dismissing someone coz u think u read them right seems kinda unfair and little arrogant.

It depends if you're talking. Staring at each others eyes in silence is awkward but how can you not look at a person you're talking to? If you're walking or sitting on a bench then fair enough but face to face?

You can't read others' minds. You can only observe their behavior and make your own assumption of what they're thinking based on their action. Actual mind reading where you can dig into the person's mind and know exactly what they're thinking is impossible as God intended it and I think we're all save that way.

beans, what i take from this thread is trying to understand how a person feels in the ituation, not trying to assume their intentions.

bv, you'd be surprised lol

Non verbal language? That is not mind reading.

Still at that,u r basically making assumptions.U cant be sure wat u understood is wat they meant.It isnt like giving the finger.

If i am talking to someone and avoided eye contact,even once in a while,i simply stop talking.

for some, eye contact can induce severe anxiety and even a panic attack. for me, its physically exhausting after some time. isnt what you said just as arrogant, if not more? this isn't an attempt to assume someone's intention behind speech, but to try to underatand how much they enjoy ur company or how they feel in the situation. i dont see as a dismissal of what they said, but that it aides in understanding.
