Struggling to Understand Nonverbal Cues....

[PlaysVideoGames]

I was wondering if people have suggestions when it comes to figure out nonverbal cues. I miss a lot when it comes to this.

I learned through memorization of the context of situations. Humans are repetitive creatures thus come across analogous situations many times and I act accordingly. This is a far from perfect method and granted does require a memory that is reliable. But it works more times than not for me.

I appreciate your input on this.

I don't know how motivated you are,...or how much time and money you have,...but I found this series helpful. 12 lectures,...each about 30 minutes.

I did not know something like this existed. I will be looking into this.

Yeah, as mentioned above, one can learn a lot of NT behavior as sets of rules. Sometimes the rules seem irrational but that has nothing to do with whether they are useful to know. I sometimes find myself going down an algorithm in social situations. It is slow, more granular than doing it naturally, and uses a lot more processing power than an NT who runs on intuition but it still works for me.
