Quiet individuals in professional settings often possess high emotional intelligence, using silence as a strategic tool for observation and understanding.
Psychology

Research suggests people who feel more empathy for dogs than humans aren't broken - their empathy is fully intact, it's just been directed toward the only available recipient that has never weaponized it, and a person whose empathy has been weaponized enough times eventually stops handing it to anyone who could do it again - Silicon Canals

Psychology
fromSilicon Canals
1 day agoPsychology says if someone secretly dislikes you they'll almost never say it out loud - but their body will, in the microseconds before they've decided what their face is supposed to be doing, and learning to read those moments is one of the more uncomfortable social skills available to anyone willing to develop it - Silicon Canals
Microexpressions reveal true emotions faster than conscious control, providing insights into feelings that words may conceal.
Psychology
fromSilicon Canals
