"communication, major."

[jbarbie23]

Aced my Biology CLEP today (and that is my lab req met!), the proctor joked about my having scored even higher on the analyzing lit test than on this one. "I guess you're just more interested in minds than bodies." I suppose that's true, in the sense that he meant it, but really I don't think there is a difference between the two

So here I am at the end of this pondering, having established two things: 1) I very much prefer open, candid, honest, direct communication, and 2) I'm a total hypocrite.

Me too.

...if everyone said just what they meant to say, without coyness or hesitation?

I've always thought that was my downfall. I don't have a very developed filter between my thoughts and the bollocks that comes out of my mouth, or flies from my fingers as is sometimes the case.
It hasn't really served me well to be honest.
I'm trying to be more conscious of not verbalising every opinion that formulates in my head as I'm learning people don't want to hear your opinion unless it's edifying to them in some way.

Interestingly enough I find I'm pretty good at reading people and intuiting intent in their words and actions toward me. I wonder if the two traits are connected, I read peoples unspoken meaning so clearly I think it's equally ok to be clear back to them.
