@St_Rev in a concert hall? -
@sarahdoingthing prev. sentence "Even when you are listening on your own, there is an implicit sharing going on." -
@St_Rev ah I see - perhaps this is a neurotypical/atypical divide? -
@sarahdoingthing Could be! I really hate the imperial 'you' as deployed there, because it's so often so badly wrong, & so unaware of it. -
@St_Rev this is where reaching out of isolation through language necessarily fails - you get more ambiguity, not less -
@sarahdoingthing Yeah. It's a sore spot for me. -
@sarahdoingthing When that technique isn't just oblivious, it's a form of psychic attack: a way to compel agreement via blather. -
@St_Rev I hope when I do it it's out of obliviousness <3 - 2 more replies
