117. Say It, See It: How to Connect Through Conversation

Communication is about so much more than sharing words. As neuroscientist Shane O’Mara explains, communication is about sharing reality.
According to O’Mara, “A conversation is where we create a shared reality together.” As a professor of experimental brain research at Trinity College Dublin, his research has focused on how human brains sync up through communication. “The essence is that we are creating a shared reality where we come to share the same states of emotion, the same states of memory, and we come to think about the future together in a new way.”
On this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, O’Mara joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how language, memory, and imagination play into communication, and how we can use active listening, turn-taking, and mentalizing to create a shared reality together.

The gossip Argument and example with the sport club was very very weak and is the entry to bullying. People don't tend to prove gossips...people would go to the guy who is claimed to do the job right and avoid the other ... terrible one to emphasize and basically support this

[@TheAbortionWhoLived]

If you are a target of gossip and you know it's not true, you don't take it personally. People then watch your actions and determine whther your actions and behaviour correlate to what you stand for and what the gossip claims. If you do take it personally, you may not follow your heart's desires and think there is truth to it. When you don't take it to heart yet based on your actions people think it is, then it just might be true

@@TheAbortionWhoLived stop soft talking bullying. People kill themself because of that. Stop moving the responsibility to the victims

[@trytr4916]
