I’m not good at reading other people’s minds, even when they think that I should have seen the emotions on their faces. Now there is science substantiating that I am not unusual in this regard.
Most of the time, other people can’t correctly guess what we’re thinking or feeling. Our emotions are not written all over our face all the time. The gap between our subjective experience and what other people pick up on is known as the illusion of transparency. It’s a fallacy that leads us to overestimate how easily we convey our emotions and thoughts.
The above excerpt is from an excellent blog, Farham Street. [1]
Therefore, if we happen to be together, if you want to make sure that I understand what you are thinking, please use your words!
