I find the more I focus on in person interactions the more I love other people. I just don't really see the hate as often in person like I do online, because it's the bots that are spreading the hate!
Discussion
I have a paper I wrote somewhere that included research about divisive bots. It was a study to see how they could be used to influence human belief and behavior. The results were awful and demoralizing.
I would be sincerely interested in reading that paper! Have you posted it here?
Sometimes… meatspace makes cowards of us all.
Are you saying that positive in person interactions are just with cowardly jerks who are jerks online and positive to my face? 😞
It’s possible. But that depends on how good of a psychic you are. 🙂
I'm not that great of one, still just taking classes 🤣 one day I'll try to scope your keys to show pow 😘
Work on something else.
I have a lot of pokers in the fire. That's just a whimsical fun hobby by comparison.
I meant my keys. But managing multiple pokers means something eventually get burned.
I would like to be able to read people’s body language and intent better, if there’s a psychic class for that.
There are many psychology classes in kinesics, the study of body language, that could be interesting and informative. Some are even available online, but I think that's a subject probably better in person.
In terms of intent, I do think we all have empathy enough to be able to read that well naturally if we tune into it. It's a matter of learning to center yourself enough to get used to understanding your own thought-voice and your own emotions, then you can differentiate when you feel / "hear" something that's not yours. The psy-gym does have several classes on that, but also there are free guided meditations on YouTube etc. that teach increasing empathy that would also do the trick.
