"mind reading"?

Wrenginald

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this site and was reading the guide to making friends (my world feels very small and thought it might help), but this line threw me through a loop:

"Tools like Mind reading can help you to recognise emotions.".

I know I'm reading this too literally, but don't understand what it means.

Could someone explain the 'mind reading' concept?

  • I don't know, but I would take this to be a fairly weak reference to our sensitivity, mimicry and intelligence combined to appear that we can read other's minds,?

    I am myself a very aware person, so in a group for example (if I haven't run away) I am usually reading people, patterns and masking based on the group dynamic or taking my lead from the 'most socially adept' member of the group to ensure my position isn't nullified... this can perhaps be seen as being one step ahead?

    But I'm trying to stop this behaviour, after 40 years it's difficult, but am getting better at being myself even if that doesn't fit the situation because, well, I'm a human and fitting in isn't as important to me as it used to be so I'm articulating my rights by all accounts
