When challenging someone's perspective stop and ask yourself these questions...
1) What do I understand about the others perspective?
2) What do I understand about my own perspective?
3) Could I be wrong?
4) What do I want the other to understand about my perspective?
5) What do I want the other to understand about their own perspective?
If you find yourself skipping the first three, you're not really trying to have a discussion and may want to check your ego.
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to move away from #academictwitter so here’s my #mastodon #introduction.
I’m a clinical psychology student at The Ohio State University (#OSU) interested in a career in #neuropsychology. I study the impact of stress (#PTSD and #discrimination) on #cognition and physical health, particularly in the context of #aging.
I’m looking forward to connecting!
I might not have everything,
but I am abundantly blessed.
Sharing some #Mastodon tips for #TwitterMigration people.
1- you don't need to follow people here one by one like at Twitter. If go to preferences and on the page it takes you to go to follows and followers?
There's an option above the list of people to follow all.
I usually swit to my mutuals first.
Why not follow everyone?
Well, of course if you can be stalked or otherwise open yourself up to danger, who wants that?
But if you've already done a safety pass, you can add all those who pass vetting in one go.
And why not?
The remaining motives people would have to follow you at Twitter
that you would need to be cautious of don't exist here
or can be easily avoided.
things I like about #Mastodon *because* they are different.
- the passion.
- more willingness to talk out differences
- a person possibly getting boosted not just from an instance, but possibly what I will forever call the Federation of Planets?
seems to be a real deterrent to foolishness.
- the lack of stress about virility.
I yearn to express myself without everything I say under a microscope.
And the ability to make small edits.
