I've been reading this book called Mind Wide Open and its interesting, I'll admit, a little hard to follow at some points and then again I'm reading before I go to bed, when I'm exhausted and my brain is shutting down from too much input during the day and I'm only on chapter one but so far the section on mind-reading that part of our nature and that some of us are great at it - picking up subtle intonational shifts and adjusting their response accordingly and some of us, always second guess ourselves or interrogate our conversational partners - I might fall into that latter category but not consciously, I used to be better at reading other people but so much gets in the way of just listening to the wind or the patterns between us. And now I get it, the mind reading part - needed to verbalize that thought out there, makes sense now. Need to stop and just listen.
And the part about that we all have internal monologues going on in our heads, we construct working hypotheses of what is going on other people's heads - its kind of like people watching and listening to their patterns to read another person, constructing stories about other people - I think?
As I'm reading, I'll probably give some more thoughts on the book - kind of helps me understand it more if I write about it
