I understand it isn't viable for everyone. It could overwhelm you and sometimes it does me.If i could handle that i would. Id also probably feel morally wrong. But I could try, though sometimes i get overwhelmed with it.
Yeah. It gives me anxiety to assume I'm being observed though.I understand it isn't viable for everyone. It could overwhelm you and sometimes it does me.
I have to be in a good mood.
It doesn't bother me morally. I figure I'm being observed also.
But, I've had public experience with being observed when I was young, I did some modeling work.
I was late teenager when I read a book about bodylanguage. Cant remember the title anymore... But it helped me a lot! I figured bodylanguage as an algorithm: if you see this, that meant this. Yes, it does require some extra processing power and will overheat my CPU in crowds, but despite of those negative issues that one book helped me very much in social situations.Here's the problem. You can't do it from an intuition standpoint. That's how NT's do it and how they can do it so naturally. For us, the only way we can do it is to do it cognitively. Which means you have to actively think about what you're doing. i.e mentally entering into a theatrical mode. The down side of doing this is that it but your brain under a full load(like the CPU in your mind is running at 100% all the time). Practice can help you get better at it but you will never be as good as an NT.

The best would be if people would just say what they think, but that is not how NT's operate.
This happened just today for me. Booom! I hate it.you don't realize the damage that's been done until it too late.
