I don’t understand social cues. I created an internal GLUT for social interaction, the same way I learned the English language and grammar. It took me a very long time, a lot of effort, and a willingness to update rapidly and on the fly.
My primary tools are the questions, “How so? You mean ___? Which part? What do you mean? What?” (short, open-ended interjections to provide free range for expansion), a judgment of when to use them, listening to and cataloging people’s statements about their social reactions (in the same way one might learn what types of food people like), and the ability to mirror the tone and body language of the person or group I’m conversing with (studying people who have expressive faces and voices helped with this).
You seem to enjoy your troll-mode statements, and seem to think it may be effective in generating conversions to truth. I believe the downvotes you receive show otherwise. I much prefer your comments-not-about-people-directly. I flinch when I think this is another “not-X” statement, but sometimes not-X is appropriate advice: when extra action is being taken (such as including specific insults against targeted individuals), removing that action can improve the situation, leaving the rest of the core intact. If someone put a tilde after every period, telling them not-tilde would be the proper thing to do.~
If you have any questions regarding my methods, I would be happy to answer them to the best of my ability, but from your response to other offers, I place a low probability on it being what you want (apparently a fully generalized understanding of human social behavior).
