Were you ever chatting to someone, perhaps a friend or a colleague, and after you have spoken with them, it struck you that they looked almost as though they were somewhere else? Their mind seemed preoccupied.
I was speaking with a friend recently and they told me their story and that's exactly what happened to them. My friend was perplexed. He asked himself, was it something he said or did?
I assured him it probably had nothing to do with him or indeed what he said.
My take on it is: that we never know what's going on in someone else's head. We can mind-read what we might think is going on in their head.
The reality is unless you have a direct link, a brain-to-brain link your summation of what other people might be thinking is flawed. You just cannot mind read.
So next time you speak with someone, just remember that the person whom you are speaking with has a lot going on, inside their head and if they come across as bad-mannered which is not normally the case, then you can form a reasonable assumption that they are preoccupied with some other happening or other all-consuming thoughts.
Your friends' or colleagues' all-consuming thoughts act like a barrier or a filter on what you are saying to them. They don't really get to process what you are saying to them.
So remember, leave mind-reading outside and always check the reality of the situation before you go off thinking, you are being ignored or otherwise.
Nearly almost always you are the innocent one and it's not your fault. Really has nothing to do with your actions or speech.
Be Powerful
