Page 842 - Mannerisms and patterns |
October 3, 2022 |
Body language is a pretty universal thing, sure. But only until you start paying attention to little details. If you do, then you start noticing patterns of mannerisms unique to every person. Those patterns are extremely hard to mimic, so can be used to identify an impostor.
Vanilla humans and empaths rarely consciously notice such details. Since they have natural empathy based on mirror nersons (Page 319), they rarely bother with developing cognitive empathy (Page 325) which requires years of learning. Sociopaths, on the other hand, have no choice here. They start slowly, from a very young age, lag behind their normal and empathic peers for years but then surpass normal people as they master the skill.
When mastered, cognitive empathy surpasses natural empathy by far. In a case with an impostor, a natural empath might vaguely sense that something is off but that's all. A properly trained sociopath, though, not just clearly sees that something is off but exactly knows what and why.
More to read
I have other books for you besides GWI. Take a look at them while waiting for a new page :)
I have:
- Tales from the Afterworld, a collection of short stories in different genres (sci-fi, fantasy, magical realism, space opera, fairytale)
- Obsidian Triad, an illustrated fantasy novel about a world created by dreamers. It begins with a young mortal's becoming an apprentice of the creators of his world and tells a long story (the size of LOTR) with a huge cast of different characters. My biggest and my favourite work so far.
- I also have some of my stories translated into Esperanto (an awesome artificial language you can learn in just 10 hours, possibly the official language of BRICS in the future): Donacoj de glacimontoj (Esperanto version of GWI with Russian and English translations under every page so that people can use the comic to easily learn Esperanto) and Glacidonaco (Esperanto version of Ice Gift, the short story that inspired GWI).
My main site is Mildegard.ru, so you can just bookmark it and use it to reach everything I have published so far.
