Our type?

8 Comments

Who is our type?

Why does our brain become  immediately choosy, including some as ours and excluding some as others?

What makes some our type?

When we meet and connect with a new face, what is it that  immediately draws or repels?

Is there more to it, than first impressions, communication  skills or body language?

Does our brain genetically  program itself to select on auto pilot?

For we often classify and categorize subconsciously as a way of choices we make.

Who is our tribe?
Who is outside ?
We are hardwired
With the safety metric.

Our mirror neurons simulate
emotional states of being
in others we meet.

When inner rhythm sense  resonance
there is a instant vibe
aligning us in a circle of unsaid understanding.

Such pattern recognition is primitive,
a tool for survival
for flagging safe and unsafe connection.

A lot happens in a split second …
A combination of sorting
Processing the past connects
Sensing and interpreting
Gut feeling & intuition
Simplifying complex somatic movements markers.
In recognizing the effortless  ease and comfort 
Or the discord that creates repulsion.

Categorizing a stranger
Is a matter of survival…

Would u agree?

    SMiLes Dear Savvy What i find Most about
    A Stranger is if i make the Effort to connect

    FRiEnDLY
    Most often

    They are No Longer
    a Stranger of Course
    Mileage Varies with this

    Yes Depending on Make
    and Model of being Human

    It’s Much Different when
    a 250 Pound Dude who still
    Leg Presses 1540 pounds 12 Reps at 66

    Most often mistaken for Military or Law Enforcement

    Reaches a Hand Out Instead of a closed
    Fist to a Stranger

    than a small
    Woman
    Walking
    to Her Car at Night

    Indeed at best they
    move as fast as they
    can and Lock the Door Behind them

    as indeed Nature is Nature they will
    Never Feel as safe as i do in a Dark Parking Lot

    Or Perhaps
    hehe i have
    a false sense of
    security as i am
    Yet to move faster
    Than a Speeding Bullet
    or Jump Tall Buildings with one Leap

    Overall the best defense is Moving confidently
    With Respect and Kindness for the Stranger as it’s true

    We All Have Biases based on our Experiences of Life as We Do
    Tend to Categorize other Human Beings that way with potential
    Intuitive biases too i’ve surely done it too Yet totally surprised how

    Different
    People come to
    be when i make
    the First Move
    of Kindness
    with an Outreached
    Hand and Smile of Welcome

    Yet again We Are Human Mileage
    Varies depending on so many factors…

    On the Other Hand my ability to discern
    ‘Con-People’ has Proven effective with what

    Nature

    And Experience
    Brings So very Fortunately
    No longer a Cog in that buy and sell World..:)

      We are naturally programmed with bias to survive, our flight or fight mode kicks in to safeguard us. Yet it is the very same mode that creates stress and pressure when its imbalanced . Our discernment of situations and circumstances that stems from awareness creates space for understanding more. In conscious practices of equanimity, many unnecessary biases and prejudices settle in time. Yet we are only human the instinct to survive the odds is a safeguard that is inevitable.
