>>76746568>depression is contagiousAlready knew this in a sense. They spread malaise, not necessarily the same condition. They want everyone else to feel bad because it's logical to them that a person should feel bad because they do. Maybe, and I'm going out on a limb here, they think if everyone feels bad they'll work together to solve the problem of feeling bad. Therapists and meds certainly don't.
>>76746568The existence of mirror neurons is well known, congrats on rediscovering done and dusted science...>>76746832Definitely not, I do think in some sense it has to be attention whoring but it's not the sort you can necessarily say is coming from a bad place (to be extra cynical all human actions are selfish)
>>76746568moods are "contagious" because humans have empathy. there is no fucking woo woo brain telepathy soience behind it. if you're depressed but you act happy, people around you will be happy because they think you are and they empathize. they can't read your mind and there is no physically contagious element to your depression. why do you think people are always so shocked when normies kill themselves, "oh he was always so happy we never knew"
>>76746568>The law of state transference PUAs have been talking about this for a least 2 decades.
>>76747981Is that what they call "frame"?Either way, I never understood the concept of voluntarily activating an emotion. Do you need like 2 hours of self hypnosis per day to do this?
>the bets decision to do for your gains is to not hang with losers. if you can't, just isolate.Winners have known this and preached it for years, especially in sales and business.>>76747877>moods are "contagious" because humans have empathyJokes on you I'm autistic.
>>76748042No. The law of state transference is literally 'what you feel, they feels'; or rather, literally what the study is saying.Frame has to do what individuals believe within a particular context. The person with the stronger belief will usually win out the "frame".For instance, if my belief that I am cool is stronger than any particular belief you may have of me, then you may adopt that frame and start to believe I am cool. If, rather, I'm acting cool, but your belief I am not cool is stronger than my belief in my coolness, then I might adopt your frame and start to think I'm not so cool. In politics, you see there is a constant battle for frame control. That's why 'pro life' and 'pro choice' and named thus; it shows your position in the kindest light while implying the opposition is evil (anti life, or anti choice). The politically neutral position in this context would be 'pro abortion' or 'anti abortion'.
>>76748075So how would you practically put that into use in the context of the study for picking up hos? Gas your horny and self esteem levels up as high as possible before the approach?
>>76748090Instead of thinking about it like a trick that you can use, understand it as a quirk of social dynamics that you can be aware of. You can't control how other people feel. But yes, if you gassed up your horny and self esteem levels, you would likely have more positive interactions on the whole. You've probably had the experience of being around someone who was depressed and thought that it was a real drag to be around that person. Same concept in reverse. Also, sometimes people are just going through shit, and will have a bad reaction regardless of whatever you have going on internally.
>>76747869>Definitely not, I do think in some sense it has to be attention whoring but it's not the sort you can necessarily say is coming from a bad place (to be extra cynical all human actions are selfish)Deciding all human actions are selfish is the kind of thing "depressives" do, and it excuses selfish actions. If it's not coming from ill intent it's coming from a complete lack of understanding of others emotional responses to stimuli, and the result is the same: They aren't worth spending time with.
>>76748361>if you gassed up your horny and self esteem levels, you would likely have more positive interactions on the whole.I've noticed this to be true.When I'm in a good mood (majority of the time) people seem to vibe on the level with me
>>76748434Cope retard, all human actions are selfish inherently and it's neither positive nor negative trait and there's nothing to be depressed or happy about, you seem like a neurotic type that gets anxious unless he can project his own problems into everything else.
>>76748439>there's nothing to be depressed or happy aboutI bet you get a lot of text messages about wanting to hang out.
>>76748521I don't have a rope to hang myself with so nobody wants to hang with me.
>>76748554cooperative roping is my favorite past time
>>76746581Have you made it to nationals yet or are you still in regionals?
>>76748434>>76748521Not sure why you turned this into a "haha look you have no friends" thing which reeks of not having an argument to stand on.Yes, social behavior is also selfish. Evolutionary theory shows that social cooperation leads to greater survival of the individuals within it. There's no high horse of morality there.
>>76746568I bet this has a limited impact on autists (99% of this board).
>>76750816Someone saying there's nothing to be happy about is a fucking downer, no need to complicate it.
>>76746568No shit thats why I hate negative people the older I get
