Do you talk?

Post Reply New Topic

Not all my thinking is talking.

You said, "people can never hear me thinking", ?

But above that you said, "...the "inner" dialog is reflected outward".

I don't understand.

Most ppl are unaware of that reflection
AS tend to sense it better and act accordingly which most of the time get interpreted as acting with no reason or a cause
even when u think with out words u r talking,images,sense of tensions ,patterns are all part of the inner dialog and can be sensed from the outside through rhythm, transparency, luminance ,mass and many small details people tend to neglect when adhering and enforcing meaningless,outdated protocols as "social skills"

The more appropriate question to pose to me is "Will you ever shut up ?!" My wife is too demure and gentle to kick me in the shins hard when I wish she would. Once started, I will tend to run on and on until the social clues are about as blatant as a flashing neon sign and clanging alarm bell, and I have made a social nuisance of myself. Sometimes I can keep from getting started and appear to do a better job of listening but even then it gets away from me and I divert into boring levels of detail.

As a college professor, I had to tell my students that if they had a question to raise their hand and also clearly say somethig like "Dr. G ?" or "Professor?"

I even requested of the students that anyone who noticed that there was only 5 minutes left in the lecture should please just blurt out "5 minutes" because I would rather cut myself short in order to put a good wrap up on the lecture than run over. I went so far as to point out to them that if I ended up giving the assignment as they were running out the door late for their next class that they would have no one to blame but themselves. I did however have to sternly warn them not to try that in any other professors classes without permission and I even named a few professors that would gladly respond to such an action by handing them their head (figuratively).
