nothing new to report. past two weeks have been "me" time. it might be my laziness at work, but i'm reading some books that interest me. the most interesting of them, "age of turbulence" by alan greenspan.
he's for sure an alpha male in discrete packaging.
i grew up wanting to be just like him. a rennisance man of sorts. being academic and musically talented. both require work and long hours fueled by passion.
i'm trying to find my passion.
what is it that i would love to do?
the other book i'm reading is the definitive book on body language. it's really good. i like it because it adds a new element to my life. to be conscious of body language. previously, i focused on listening to people and only subconsciously acknowledging body language.
but now, i'm going to try to observe the interaction from the big picture to the small picture.
it starts with observing the environment. what are people here for? what's the temperature? how many people are around? who is around? why is this person here? what are they wearing? how are they standing? where are their feets posistioned? what are their arms doing? what are their hands doing? what does their expression say? what do their eyes show?
is it all congruent to their words? are they vibing well? is it IOI? is it IOD? are they qualifing? are they hooked? am i bringing out emotions? am i on an energy level the same or slightly higher than them. am i speaking loud enough, slow, or clear enough? is my micro calibration on or off?
to simplify the above two paragraphs, am I trying to develope a higher level of interaction. I have to train my mind to make all those calculations and others that may appear.
I was hanging out with a natural for the last two weekends, and it seems that they out of habit observe most of the questions out of habit.
i am socially awkward, so i have to develop them.
