Positive NT traits & abilities

Post Reply New Topic

Fudo, there's a young woman, Karilyn. She gave such a wonderfull explaination of conscious and subconscious thought.

I agree with you.

Karilyn's explaination set me out to train my brain to think in a more conscious mode. I think that could make me a better person. I'm not always aware of what I am feeling and how it influences how I think.

Surely the obvious one would be the ability to communicate more effectively?

Kinda picked this up late.. Maybe

Just wanted to pick up on this, but in a nice way
I think NTs could potentially communicate better but I would suggest that many are not nearly as aware of their alleged abilities as they should be to take advantage of it consciously.. And then, again generalising here, it seems an NT can still get somewhat caught up in language.. But when I communicate with people it's me being over literal, so I couldn't say how an NT might perceive or experience it.. however, I have noticed that regular folk I speak to seem just less concerned and interested in being understood particularly well or understand others etc
Generally, it seems to me that typical NT communication is less conscious.. At least in a certain sense.
That's my theory for this morning anyways.

Thanks, Smartalex. Is Karilyn on this forum?

I'm hoping by "better person" you mean more effective at communicating etc and not that you feel that your natural method was not good enough.. Maybe I'm over-analysing though.

Anyways, I've been trying to work on non-verbal skills for about 6months this time with a particular focus on voice but also more generally with body language, facial expressions etc.
Nothing conclusive but I can sometimes pick up quite a lot from these.. I think.. Is sadly quite difficult to be sure.
fascinating though

Yes, she did a post about eye muscle communication.
