Mind Reading

Mind Reading

Over the years it was not my habit to stare ppl’s face when they are talking, I might listen but look down or somewhere else, lately I started to look their face and try to read their body language. My mind reading capabilities are not still strong but I wana make it a routine whenever I meet somebody I look his or her eyes as well as other body languages. Trying to pick any clue which they not saying verbally.

So Farahs and Halimoos are u good at mind reading? What are the tips of knowing when somebody’s body language and his verbal are contradicting.

Thank you.

When they are not sincere or may be lying or just hiding something they look away

But I don't know what a blank staring look means.

Horta one thing is true, when i m explaining something difficult which m not happy to explain even if m not lying i like to talk and look some where else.

I'm sure I'm a mess of them though. I usually try to remain poised when attempting to the get the upperhand in a confrontation. Blank look, unmoving head, crossed legs if on a chair, hands clasped, fixed eye contact, etc. It makes for an awkward but commanding impression. I might add a smirk if needed. Lol, little do they know what's in my head.

Things I do when I let my guard down? Biting lips (major one), hands in pocket/touching face, losing eye contact/looking down, short responses, eyes darting to the right/left when answering questions, etc.

When someone doesn't care? Blank look in a different direction, hands in pockets/across chest, inaudible/unvoiced responses "mhmm/uh-huh/uh-mm", chewing gum/eating during a pretty important conversation, etc.


Though, this wasn't what I was hoping to find when I saw "Mind Reading"

sorry to disappoint u mate, it wasnt my intention.

Wtf

The question is, what about if someone is suffering from some sort of anxiety disorder/shyness & makes some or most of those "marked" movements/gestures due to nervousness & not lying or hiding the truth?

How true/correct can a mind-reading be in such situation?

[Alphanumeric]

I don't think it's an attempt to decipher truth from lies, but to better understand the person and how they feel in the situation.

[Twist]

That's what I always thought when they talked about psychologists who specialized in, or know something about body language, were deciphering truth from lies. If that's not the case then what's all this they talk about judging one's body language in interviews or even detectives in criminal cases etc?

[BlackVelvet]

If you can sense how a person is feeling and observe what they're doing then it's not a stretch to guess what they're thinking.

Men and women communicate differently. Prince Daadi unknowingly displayed classic Male behavior when communicating, which is turning away from the person, not giving eye contact, look somewhere else especially if sitting next to each other. It is easiest for men to communicate feelings, complicated ideas, or listen to something, if they are looking at some mundane object. While on the other hand, female classic communication is to face each other physically, give eye contact, mimic body language and emotions of the other person. So if Prince Daadi and Saraxanow were to talk to each other face to face, saraxanow might very well believe that Prince Daadi wasn't giving her his full attention, despite the fact that he might very well be listening attentively, it's this difference of communication that might lead her into believing that he is "lying, or hiding something from her, or just not listening." So, women, keep this in mind the next time you communicate with a male.


I learned this from my Communication class

Only Allaah SWT can read what is in the mind of someone.

My sister has two daughters..One is very very shy and can't even look anyone in the eye..her eyes are always averted to the side, while the other one will control the whole class
and raise her hand even though she may have no clue of the question the teacher asked. She is not scared of anyone...Every time she is standing in front of a crowd and lecturing them.
So if we try to read the mind of the first girl we will get nothing but wrong conclusion.

My point is always to be careful of mind reading stuff...

Yeah, i find it easier to concentrate when staring off into the distance. fixed eye contact while communicating can be tiring. not sure how true it all is though.

mmmm I like this explanation, i might be staring the wall but listening attentively specially when i want to listen seriously what the other person is saying. being said that i want to mix with it observing the environment including the person.

There is no such a thing as mind reading.We only make judgment based on previous experience.
