for more literal minds who do not try to read between the lines.
I tried to read between the lines on this one; I really did. It still came out... somewhat insulting-sounding. Was that intentional? Or am I just being an idiot here?
Not really, but that should be a way less important consideration than whether it is true. I see it more as a curious, interesting phenomenon that helps me improve my writing by pushing it to be more accurate. Okay, sometimes frustrating, for my comments to be interpreted on the basis of what I say and not what I mean, but not too annoying. It also teaches me I am probably not Aspie, just an introverted/shy neurotypical, because if I was Aspie I would be similarly literal-minded.
This thread is for:
- Perfectly natural and functional ideas that came from a spiritual, religious, occultist, parapsychologist etc. source (perhaps with some "baggage")
- Techniques that are bit difficult to explain and may be seen by the gullible as magic, but they actually seem to do something, even if that something is just a novel way to trick the brain.
Both things that are actually useful and "stage tricks" are accepted in this thread.
