      cause you pay attention to hanging out It's hard to describe. it's a subtle shift in interaction. there's a journey with ppl - after I "properly circle" with them a lot we can keep circling while dropping the rest of it and then do 'hang out circling'. it's hard to describe

      its like. there's a way you can walk when you learn how to control your body really well through dancing; the muscles are attuned and different. you can see it in ppl if you know how to look. Circling is the practice of tuning your muscles to just keep walking.

      I think people usually do this they just don't do it out loud

      i don't think so. Much like when I learned to dance i didnt know what I didn't know, in circling it's extraordinarily similar - I'm still learning things about interaction I didn't know I didn't know. Circling has been one of the most profoundly useful things in my life.

      and also - there is a lot of *very bad* circling out there, and I think a lot (though not all) of people's distaste around it comes from exposure to unskilled circlers. For context I think the majority of rationalists are very bad at circling.

      I think I understand the utility of circling to a specific neurotype now, and also am aware that it's a neurotype maybe. Thank you, this was helpful.

          tbclear most people who seem to get a lot out of circling aren't rationalists, in case your theory is "oh it teaches autists how to be social"
