Impact Interactions

Recently I've found that certain words and gestures can make a significant impact upon ones mood. These actions, while for the most part we are unaware of, can make or break a social interaction between two individuals. I always thought these forms of communication are for the most part "rushed", unlike writing were we are improvising our daily lives one breath at a time. I guess what I’m saying is, try to be more subconscious about your actions and those of individuals around you because it’s vitally important to surviving in this strange world.

These hints and clues can provide a generalized clue into the actual mood of other individuals around you. You'll find if someone's not having a good time in your social group, that it can affect the rest of the group. Were merely social creatures trying to bide for the spotlight or the lack thereof.

Can I accurately identify impact interactions? Sadly no, I can not write a book and that makes this reading these clues easier to individuals. I can say, that individuals you don't know will make more glancing interactions (or things that might annoy you, or make you smile briefly), individuals that control an aspect of your life make power interactions (that can ruin a day instantly, or make your day), finally there's the ones closest to you which make lasting interactions (which stick with you for a long time).

Everyone’s different and that’s my best attempt to categorize the various interaction classes we face everyday. Just remember that a few words, or a gesture could start a windfall of events that you are unaware of, and it’s a better idea to think before acting.

I will continue this post tomorrow with defense mechanisms, because not all interactions should be interpreted the same way.
