Do you ever read between the lines?

As in look at what's never said?

In people around you ....users here maybe?
- what they dont say,
- patterns of conversation,
- repeated behaovoir,
- circumvented topics or discussions.
- When they fade out or avoid responses ?

Some people in my life have left imprints on me so that i now notice this, where i never used to.

Its like looking at the shadows in the spaces of conversation, and trying to understand what they mean by their vague outline.

Is this pointless?

Is it too vague a thing to contemplate ?

Or do you think what is unsaid or avoided, is just as important....or more so ?

If I said what I felt at times. Nobody would talk to me at all…
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout i did learn this very thing, the hard way .

So much so that ive now developed an unconscious habit of sucking my tongue becuase of all the ego and sheer stupidity im asaulted with

Now if i could only control my facial expressions, my social mimesis of seemingly confroming would be complete

The distinction between overthinking and reading between the lines can be tricky imo. To keep myself grounded in reality, I tell myself that maybe I'm just thinking about something too much or that I could be mistaken.
@mindstruggle thats wise.
I should do that more.

@calicuz youre very tolerant.
Politicians get my blood pressure up too much .

Only every second line and then make it up for the ones I don't read.
You do not want to get inside my head
I just make stuff up; reality is way too hard to accept.
@KiwiBird i heat ya on that !

Ive experienced reality that i NEVER would have ever conceived could hqppen to me.

Yet here i am ....still blow out at it sometimes.

For me, it’s difficult to do that when I’m reading text, but it’s easier when it’s in person
Ontheroad · M
I think with people you are close to, it's important to listen for what isn't said... some people communicate quite loudly in that manner.
@Ontheroad i feel a lot of people do, if we pay enough attention.
Ontheroad · M
@OogieBoogie yeah, but sometimes people get too peopley😁
@Ontheroad 😂...i couldn't have said it better

@OogieBoogie Aww bless ya you're one of the few people that get my dry sense of humour, most people just wet towel and block me first time I ever show up on their posts, LMAO!!!😅

But the feeling is very mutual, I love seeing you around too Oogie. You're one of the few people where it is what it is. You know when people are just having a laugh or trying to deliberately rub you up the wrong way x

@AdaXI thanks Sugah🤗💚🤗

I do this all the time with journalism and it's very telling. Thankfully I don't have to it with my friends though because they're pretty open and direct.
I have to read between the lines. People talk in hints and riddles. So often, what they say isn't what they mean.

I write between the lines. I also underestimate most reader's ability to think between the lines or outside the box.

I already figure that out as I become very less talkative these days like nothing matters anymore.


It is what it is I guess F it.

Lilnonames · F
I don't argue nor get into those topics of discussion. I'll just BLOCK and move on. That's my pattern
@Lilnonames yeah, but you do it with gusto and recognition.... not silent avoidance.

Plus, you were kinda bullied into making this choice🤷
