You're telling me if you watch any tv show on mute and no subtitles you couldn't suss out the overall context or how people are feeling/interacting?

I call friendly bullshit ;) When you are a fly on the wall, do you feel the same way still? It takes a lot of bandwith to both socialize or scrutinize the physical cues and stuff, they are as talented and smart as fortune tellers aha

Yup, My mind pretty much goes blank and I get depressed and I don't understand the thrill or the point of human interaction. Same for social situations.

I mean since you brought up TV shows, I literally don't watch TV and the first thing I thought of at your example was like some people watch reality shows like Jersey shore and real housewives, I'm a woman and I just don't get any of that, not interested at all. just a bunch of pointless drivel, women with plastic surgery and all their drama and crying all the time, I have no idea what's going on.

Exactly. I no longer have that bandwidth.
