One of human’s natural talents is sensing the motives and feelings of others. But how do we do it? What signs are we looking for? What parts of ourselves should we listen to? Perhaps a more important first question is: How do we fall into mind traps when we assume what we project onto others is actually true?
What's the actual process of the brain when thinking about others’ thoughts and judging their actions?
Projecting is a common mind trap and there's a high chance you've done it. We try to understand other people but we often just understand what we would do or think in their position rather than getting out of ourselves to learn how someone else's mind might work. So how can we know if we're really reading another person or simply projecting our own trauma onto them? How does the brain think clearly and how does it take ineffective shortcuts? To understand the answers to these questions is to see the key to reading the thoughts of those around us. Let's understand our minds better and practice our superpowers!
