An outside observer can tell you what's going on outside your body, but if you want to know what's going on inside, you have to ask.

Will it only work if the observer is your friend? :-)

I previously thought that a baby's needs were rather simple until I recently had one . He can have rather complex demands like entertain me. Sometimes he is not easily entertained. Must be genetic.

Uhhh, John -- no. Anyone can see the piece of crap on your back, friend, enemy, indifferent person.

It does sound very much like The Problem of Other Minds . And I agree, it'd be nice if others pointed out the crap more often, especially your friends. In a nice way, of course. ;)

I was having dinner with a friend recently and (no gender specified) had a big booger hanging off the end of (no gender specified) nose. I didn't say anything, I decided it was an endearing feature, and I'd use it to elevate my humor for the evening. Everything the person said was just a bit more entertaining because it was said with a booger hanging off the nose.

Dave, I was right there with you until you didn't tell your friend about the booger. :-~ ) (that's my friend-with-booger emoticon) Friends always tell friends they have a booger hanging off the (no gender specified) nose.

Rex, I'm not entirely sure you wouldn't have done exactly what I did. I'll have to tell you the rest of the story someday.

When a person writes as much as you do, Dave, people automatically start to think they know what's going on inside you. It "feels" like you're expressing it, so they don't have to ask.

Yeah it doesn't actually work that way, I guess that's the point, eh? ;->

Dave.... Last night I was re-reading some old writing along a similar vein... about that which is experienced inside and how it is or isn't apparent on the outside. Thanks (in part) to your post, I went and posted it on my site.

Now that's something you don't see often: actual handwriting! Everyone should draw up a diagram of their choice and post it. Another way to see a bit more of someone's personality. I think so anyway!

Dave, good thought but you need to take it further. People can't tell you what's going on inside their heads. In shorthand (and I'll be glad to provide a more erudite explantion if you're interested), we all bullshit ourselves. Asking what's going on inside is good -- but it cannot be taken at face value.

Jay, yes, of course. That's life-lesson number 237.

To extend Jay's thought - Coaching works well because it helps you figure out what is going on inside your own thoughts - reduces your own B.S. to you.

I've gotten a bunch of whiny email about the booger. Here's a new piece of data. It was a woman. Does that change things?

different strokes for different folks. i probably would've gestured that there was something on her nose, playfully commented and moved the conversation elsewhere where she felt comfortable, but hey, that's me.

C'mon Dave the booger was garnish for the dessert that was yet to arrive.good scout . )Even if we ask we often do not get the "straight dope" we think someone is currently, so often we are dead wrong ( Isn't this how wars are started?). Like our perception has manytimes little to do with another's truth.

This is the basis for why it takes a long time to build a quality relationship and only seconds to destroy one. publicly an opinion or position that either directly or indirectly affects that person. would anyone else they had a bugger hanging from their nose. But, I make no judgement on your choice; I wasn't there and don't know the history: even with your further explanation. I tell you what I would do .. not how you should do.Yes, and what about the mind-of-its-own Mac reboot phenom .. ": )))
