    "Talking to strangers" is a book which depicts the complexities we face in understanding the nature of strangers. The author goes from stories and case studies of world best spies to the increasing suicides and crime rates.
    He infers that it is almost impossible to comprehend a stranger.
    This is a vast book covering vast levels of social and psychological topics which are missunderstood most of the time. I think everyone should read it.

Of course, this entire demographic of students had been raised to treat looking directly at adults as disrespectful. In this example, the only members of that group she needed to be wary of were those she most likely would have trusted.

      Paul Ekman was the advisor to the show and he co- discovered micro-expressions. The show was factually a correct but the time span to solve the case was compressed to be able to wrap up the crime in 1 hour. In really life the span for solving could be weeks, months and even years.

      Hugo Bacelar Yes and no. It is possible to read ppl like that but NOT AT ALL how they show it in the show. The person can’t know that you are reading them. The way that the main character does it would be completely useless. He’s way too in their face. He’d have to observe them at an at ease state. So they would give things away without knowing it. But this isn’t what I think Gladwell meant. I think he meant it more in an “gut reaction” sort of way. And, unless honed, can be very misleading. I wouldn’t be surprised that in the book, if he says our own ideas and conceptions influence us more than what we know. That we see what we want to see. That’s pure speculation thou. Just saying based on what he’s written before. His style of giving information. Just a guess thou.

    This summed up what I've finally started to understand over the past couple of years. So much of the time, the way actors emote on-screen are exaggerated and unrealistic; their expressions look so genuine that they're actually disingenuous. People are far more subtle and nuanced in real life, and if you use performed content as a model for communication you will probably be considered phony.

    I think the vast majority of people understand that Friends/sitcoms are not like the real world. I mean it's scripted, there's a laugh track, all the jokes work, there are no awkward silences, every minute is interesting, everyone is relevant... In fact the reason people like the show is precisely because it's NOT like real life, it's much more fun.

So away your premise is faulty based on your own opinion of what is well-known and as far as taking a point and making it the gospel there's only one gospel number one number two nobody I'll say it again nobody has the final word on anything so anybody that you trust is not totally trustworthy so where's the story here duh.

    The subject of this new book is something quite obvious, because we know that all people wear masks and don't show who they really are especially in public, this is such an old, familiar truism. But somehow people tend to forget about it. I have long had reflections on the fact that in today's era of media obsession, social media power, we are extremely vulnerable to believe in false accusations plus wrong and consequently tragic 'reading' of other people, because social media is conducive to fast and thoughtless judgment and spreading of stereotypical thinking about others, strangers. And it's dangerous.

      @All_Roads No i don't.
      You will see that most dictionaries have both meanings of the word "unconscious".
      Do you also say someone hit you subconscious, or do you still say someone hit you unconscious?
      (If you don't, then the words simply share one meaning, but are not synonymous)
      The meaning of words change organically. Eventually dictionaries will record the current meaning of words... as used by the majority.
      You can stop pretending that dictionaries, or any specific dictionary, are lawbooks or the gospel.

    I like the points that were made, but to be fair, Judge Judy doesn’t just determine who is lying and who is not. She has to base her ruling on the strength of the evidence presented and the testimony given. It either makes sense or doesn’t, falls within the law or doesn’t. “Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”
