Sometimes you really want to know what this or that person thinks about you, but this is not available. Only on the basis of the timbre of his voice, facial expression, posture, etc., we can guess what is going on in his head. The art of communication needs to be learned.
What the other person thinks about is a mystery to us. However, how often you want to know what hides the expression of the eyes or a certain bodily posture. The ability to show empathy - to feel an emotional state and understand another person's thoughts - comes with experience. Also here an important role is played by the character of the individual, his ability to "feel" people.
Some are given this by nature, others can develop it in themselves. A lot of different literature has been written on this score. Among the main points that must be mastered in order to understand the thoughts of another person are the following:
- observation and analysis
Observe the behavior of other people, how they communicate, sit, walk, show emotions. After a while, you will be able to notice that often people do not say what they think, but true emotions are difficult to hide. For example, you can often observe that two people are talking peacefully, however, the body betrays them. Eyes look with irritation, arms or legs are crossed, hands are clenched into fists, etc.
Only comparison and analysis will help to know the truth.
- communication
The practice of communicating with other people is essential. It gives practical skills, allows you to better understand people, and understand their true intentions in this or that matter.
- study of relevant literature
In practice, it can be difficult without theory. It will help enrich your practical experience and make you more skillful in understanding other people's thoughts.
Theory will not allow you to learn to "read" people, this requires practical experience, only this will help in a certain way to comprehend the essence of the thoughts of another person.
