The Philosophy Forums at OnlinePhilosophyClub.com aim to be an oasis of intelligent in-depth civil debate and discussion. Topics discussed extend far beyond philosophy and philosophers. What makes us a philosophy forum is more about our approach to the discussions than what subject is being debated. Common topics include but are absolutely not limited to neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cosmology, religion, political theory, ethics, and so much more.
This is a humans-only philosophy club. We strictly prohibit bots and AIs from joining.

This passage argues that clear communication is key. Stop trying to interpret unspoken thoughts or feelings, and don't expect others to do the same for you. If you're unsure, ask for clarification. Be direct and assertive. Instead of getting frustrated by mind-reading fails, communicate clearly. The provided mantra can be a helpful reminder: "They don't think what I think they think. I am not good at mind-reading, and neither are they." By ditching mind-reading and embracing clear communication, we can avoid misunderstandings and build stronger connections.I used to be a champion mind-reader...in my own head. Turns out, most people aren't tuned into my imaginary conversations! It's a relief to finally let go of those assumptions and communicate like a grown-up. Instead of making up stories about what someone meant, I can just ask them directly. It's so much simpler and less stressful.
