It depends. Sometimes you just get an itch, I guess. The real trick is figuring out if that feeling is actually forced or if it’s just some subconscious intuition kicking in. How good you are at reading those cues really just comes down to practice. But after a while, once you start looking past what people are actually saying and pay attention to how they say it, you can learn a hell of a lot about someone without them ever explicitly telling you a thing.
I guess when someone is lying, you might notice certain tics—maybe they look away, scratch their nose, or subconsciously cover their mouth while talking. In a conversation, rubbing your chin usually suggests you're actually interested in what's being said. A slight lean toward the other person can also signal engagement. Keeping your palms open toward the person you're talking to is typically seen as a sign of honesty.
Then there's that specific hand posture where you rest the fingertips of one hand against the cheekbone of the other; it tends to project a sense of being totally convinced of your own point, almost in a dominant way.
Even a handshake can reveal a lot about power dynamics—whether someone is trying to dominate or act submissive depends on whether their palm is facing up or down, and obviously, how hard the grip is.
It's an interesting topic, I suppose, though some photos would probably help make these points a bit clearer.
I don't know all that much about how the American system works, honestly. I was doing some light digging on Explorer earlier regarding Arijac inmates in prison...
I mean, just look at how our local organized crime operates... it’s actually the perfect example. You’ve got everyone working together—doesn't matter if they're from different backgrounds or old rivalries—because in those circles, there isn't any of that old-school animosity. It just doesn't exist when business is on the line. Like Gerald Rivera60 said, it's all about a shared interest—cold, hard cash.
I honestly feel a bit bummed that I wasn't living in the States back when that very first season of Big Brother aired. I don't even know what to say about it, really. 🙂
Virel said:I guess George Orwell's Big Brother attracts people who just don't have anything exciting going on in their lives. I mean, everyone can spare five minutes when it's constantly playing on TV, but watching the same thing four years in a row? That’s just tedious to me. I haven't even sat through a single minute of this season yet.
Terry Grant2 said:Sometimes you catch those live broadcasts of the Congressional sessions... It really gives you food for thought... 😬 You start to realize they aren't actually all that different from anyone else; they just happen to wear much more expensive and polished masks, and they don't have to run to the restroom in front of the cameras... (though I suppose they could certainly do so verbally... 🤣 ). I'm mostly just teasing, of course. But I don't follow CNN, mainly because I simply don't have the "budget" for it... 😛
There's usually a grain of truth in a joke, but politicians are just exhausting. Most of them are just playing games, trying to outsmart one another without actually accomplishing anything. It gets old. 😁
Carl Cruz said:Humans are simple creatures, sure, but that's highly relative. There isn't some universal standard you can use to generalize everyone. It makes me wonder: what would a version of Big Brother look like if it featured 14 academics locked in deep, intellectual debates? It would probably bore most of the audience to death, but then again, it might actually be more interesting than the current concept of Big Brother.
True, but let's face it—how many academics does the average person actually run into on a daily basis? At the end of the day, these are just people from the crowd, 🙂 which makes their situations much more relatable to the typical viewer than some philosophical debate, especially when it involves arguments and counterarguments that most people wouldn't have a clue about anyway. 🙂 As for behavior, you definitely can generalize to an extent, particularly when looking at body language. Though, I suppose it's not absolutely true every single time.
I find it’s actually an excellent way to observe the specific behavioral patterns that drive certain outcomes. Of course, they aren't any different from the people you run into on the streets of Chicago or wherever else you go, which is exactly why I watch them. I don't really care much about the actual content; it's more about the underlying mechanism. If I can spot that pattern enough times, there's a decent chance that when I see it again tomorrow in someone else, I'll be able to deduce their motives and what they're aiming for. It pretty much puts me one step ahead of them. 🙂 Most people behave in a very predictable, simple way, and it's honestly easy to read. 🙂
Anthony Kim18 said:Why can't some people grasp that intelligence isn't actually a "thing" in the real world? It’s just an imaginary construct we made up to try and explain how human psychology works. There's no point looking for it in reality, and you definitely shouldn't confuse it with other actual things, like knowledge or intellect.
If by intellect you mean reason, then I suppose so. Reason is just our ability to grasp the world through thought, whereas intelligence is more about how we actually navigate or manage that world using those thoughts. That’s probably why those standardized tests exist; they're trying to measure how well we can manipulate our environment.
Gregory Turner35 said:Hey, you little devil. I’m right there with you on that whole thing about picking up on people's vibes and actually getting how they feel. For me, though, it all comes down to eye contact. Like, when I look someone straight in the eyes, I feel like I can just read their mind—know exactly what's going on in their head or how they're feeling. Some people have figured me out, though, and now they won't even look me in the eye.

Maybe—and this is a big maybe—it's because people won't look you in the eye when you're staring them down like this emoji.😲
I mean, they don't live with their elderly parents. You really should have read the whole thing first. And honestly, your story—as in how your husband treats his mother versus how the author's husband treats hers—has nothing to do with each other, aside from the fact that we're talking about mothers and sons.
Fair enough. It’s honestly admirable that you’re still fighting for your family; people generally like to believe in those kinds of ideals. From what I can gather from everything you’ve shared, it sounds like a downward spiral—just a repetitive loop that keeps circling back on itself over and over again. And honestly, it’s happening simply because your husband doesn't actually have the genuine will to change things. He’s perfectly comfortable with the status quo, so no matter how much you push for a shift, he’s just going to dig his heels in. To him, resisting you isn't even "work."
You’ve got a tough road ahead, whether that means continuing this struggle or just accepting things as they are. I don't know how you'll navigate it, but I hope you can stay level-headed despite the atmosphere at home. Good luck.
A disorder isn't quite the same thing as an actual illness. It’s pretty straightforward, I guess. I don't think we're seeing some massive spike in cases here, nor is this some huge deal; it just seems like we finally have better ways to classify things.
Jason Sanchez3 said:I’m not sure if anyone will get this, or even believe me. I really hope there are others out there like me because I could use some advice... Ever since I was a little girl, I felt everything. I felt the whole world and everyone around me. I wasn't exactly a "typical" kid—didn't really follow the rules or go with the crowd, and I never judged other kids. I've always just been... different. I eventually realized I have incredibly sharp intuition and high intelligence. My brain connects dots and processes info way faster than most people. I can see a problem from every possible angle instantly and pick the most realistic path based on my gut feeling. I didn't have many friends back then. Crowds weren't my thing, and honestly, people didn't always like me because I'm too honest. Most people are a little afraid of the truth. I was pretty withdrawn and shy. But when I turned 16, I decided to completely reinvent myself—physically and personality-wise. I wanted to be strong and magnetic. Through a lot of hard work, I did it. I built myself into a complete person. Since 16, I've spent my time observing and analyzing people, sharpening that intuition and mental processing speed even more. But now, I've hit a bit of a breaking point...
I've become hyper-sensitive to other people's pain and emotions. I can feel the energy someone is radiating just by being near them, and I can read non-verbal cues perfectly. When I'm with someone—and this applies to everyone, but especially my partner—I find it impossible to hurt them or be selfish. I can't say the wrong thing because I already know exactly how they'll feel. I can't make mistakes because I'm too aware of their fears. I can't even afford to be a flawed human being.😢 - basically, I end up knowing a person better than they know themselves in such a short time.
I'm actually great at reading and influencing people, which is helpful for my career, though I'm totally sincere and rarely use it that way.
Sometimes I'll burst into tears over a news article because I feel the tragedy in the story so deeply. Yet, at the same time, I stay completely cold toward anything exaggerated or fake. If it isn't real, I don't feel it.
Some days, I feel like a robot. My brain is constantly bombarded by emotions and data, all being analyzed and processed. I often finish people's sentences before they even get them out. I remember everything—every word said, what I said, where we were, and exactly how everyone was reacting in that moment.
It's perfect sometimes, but other times... I just want it all to stop.😢 I feel like I'm going to lose my mind.
I'd really love to hear your thoughts or if you've experienced anything similar.
So, basically, you figured out you were smarter than everyone else when you were a kid... moving right along...

I suppose most of your peers just weren't quite up to your standards, so you decided to achieve self-actualization by age 16. Interesting.

I eventually realized I have incredibly sharp intuition and high intelligence. My brain connects dots and processes info way faster than most people. I can see a problem from every possible angle instantly and pick the most realistic path based on my gut feeling. I didn't have many friends back then. Crowds weren't my thing, and honestly, people didn't always like me because I'm too honest. Most people are a little afraid of the truth. I was pretty withdrawn and shy. But when I turned 16, I decided to completely reinvent myself—physically and personality-wise. I wanted to be strong and magnetic. Through a lot of hard work, I did it. I built myself into a complete person. Since 16, I've spent my time observing and analyzing people, sharpening that intuition and mental processing speed even more. But now, I've hit a bit of a breaking point...
I've become hyper-sensitive to other people's pain and emotions. I can feel the energy someone is radiating just by being near them, and I can read non-verbal cues perfectly. When I'm with someone—and this applies to everyone, but especially my partner—I find it impossible to hurt them or be selfish. I can't say the wrong thing because I already know exactly how they'll feel. I can't make mistakes because I'm too aware of their fears. I can't even afford to be a flawed human being.😢 - basically, I end up knowing a person better than they know themselves in such a short time.
I'm actually great at reading and influencing people, which is helpful for my career, though I'm totally sincere and rarely use it that way.
Sometimes I'll burst into tears over a news article because I feel the tragedy in the story so deeply. Yet, at the same time, I stay completely cold toward anything exaggerated or fake. If it isn't real, I don't feel it.
Some days, I feel like a robot. My brain is constantly bombarded by emotions and data, all being analyzed and processed. I often finish people's sentences before they even get them out. I remember everything—every word said, what I said, where we were, and exactly how everyone was reacting in that moment.
It's perfect sometimes, but other times... I just want it all to stop.😢 I feel like I'm going to lose my mind.
I'd really love to hear your thoughts or if you've experienced anything similar.
Maybe try coming back down to earth. A little sarcasm might actually do you some good... since you're apparently so good at reading between the lines, I guess you'll eventually figure out everything else I was trying to say without actually saying it.😁
Maybe find a different psychiatrist... it seems pretty obvious you've developed an aversion to this doctor, and honestly, if you don't actually trust what your physician is saying, the sessions aren't going to be effective anyway. I mean, she didn't exactly say anything incorrect regarding your responsibilities, hobbies, or social life, etc. Those are all factors that impact your quality of life, which naturally affects your mental state. The real issue seems to be how you processed it in your own head: you've basically rationalized the idea that she just doesn't understand you.
As for how much stronger antidepressants you might need, I'm not going to get into that. The fact remains that medication alone isn't going to fix everything.
Robert Howard97 said:Look, I feel for you, but let's be real—your situation isn't actually where the issue lies it’s all about your husband's legal😢 He’s the one who needs to step up and make it crystal clear to his mom that he’s got a family of his own now Sure, he’ll always be her son, but at the end of the day, he lives in a different house with his own wife and kids
The problem is definitely with her, though, because she raised him to be exactly this way.
He probably should be the one taking the first step toward changing how he interacts with his mother, but honestly, until she changes things up, nothing positive is going to happen.
Anyway, it looks like a painful process for everyone involved.
