But I think truth is, the majority of people have absolutely no idea what I'm feeling, even when it's fairly obvious. Like, even people who care about me a lot may very well have no idea when I've been feeling depressed. Still the anxiety is there.. I think certain people out there ARE good at this kind of detection and I find myself scanning for these types in every circumstance.
Oh well. Today my mood is better which I attribute to my bike ride. I bought a book of short fantasy stories called "Flights" today, which might help kick me back into reading again. Getting into a book has been supremely difficult but short stories may be doable.. |
I've seen the show "Lie to Me". Of course I love everything Tim Roth
He is DA MAN!
However, I've read books on reading body language, and critiques of it. The show is to put it bluntly, FANTASY. Not reality. Even so, there is some truth and accuracy to the science of reading body language (it's more than just facial expressions), but that doesn't mean every Tom, ****, and Harry understands the subject, and even if they had heard of it, it doesn't mean they are trained to apply it.
I would say you probably aren't direct about your emotions, instead maybe even hiding them? Do you pretend things are okay when they are not? I don't look to other people for answers. I seek guidance and help in trusted people, but you REALLY have to let people know in a direct way what is going on or otherwise they can't help you. TRU FAX
I need to read a good book too. What are you into?
