Attention, digital side effect: We are empathic illiterates
Being able to look at someone's emotional state and intent at first sight is a vital skill that has saved us from the Stone Age cave into the present. Mimicry is the original language of communication? An angry, anxious, relaxed, disgusted or sad expression should be understandable to fellow human beings across all language barriers. As well as the correct reaction: "Get off!?,? Go home !? or? Smile back!?. So at least I thought, until I constantly seminars on the subject "facial expressions? for? private and professional success? were offered. At first I thought it was a joke: To understand how the other feels, should improve the? Relationship quality ?? Wow, who would have thought that!
Debt is again the digitization
I raised my eyebrows in surprise as I read further that the right "emotion recognition" ability? only 62.7 percent should be. Almost every other facial expression is overlooked or misinterpreted. The culprit is once again the Internet: Digitization is destroying our ability to interpret other people's moods live and uncommented. There is a lack of practice, as people in society look more on their phone than others in the face. Shielded through our screens we languish empathically with illiterates. Accordingly, actors do not have to make a big effort in terms of acting: once you have experienced every fine facial emotion, today you can only taste sweet or sour in terms of dramaturgy. Mimic fast food. And even that is getting more and more difficult with the widespread use of Botox and Fillers:? Between the lines? Reading? between the lines! ? falls flat.
The Whatsapp Zoff has become standard
The poker face that used to be poker was just standard. Just never get emotionally involved in the cards! Not only does it make despairing babies who rely on non-verbal communication. But human emotions are becoming less and less accessible to emotions, especially since digital communication is the main activity. Many couples no longer breathe live, but in writing and emotionally degreased on Whatsapp: no one would like to expose themselves to dangers such as tears, anger or sadness in the eyes of others. The sentence? You have something, I can see that !? soon belongs to the past. Emotion track reading dies out. How should one learn the basics? Anyone who looks at others in the train longer in the face is already considered a pervert. On the other hand, it is complained that everyone lives so isolated.
I can not believe it...
I should be kind of an emotional shazam? To invent face recognition and become rich: If in doubt, you could simply scan the facial features of the other person using a mobile phone and translate the feelings contained in them into comprehensible emojis. And while I'm still laughing at this absurd idea, I google it further and derail my features: the? Emotion engine? is already invented. Shocked smiley. Sad Smiley.
