Malfunction of the Machina
As mentioned previously, much of our energy is used scanning for potential judgements (Sensing Judgement 11/3), but this causes more problems than a simple energy drain. I find it very difficult to hear what people are saying unless I am the one which asked the question first. What is this, a lack of concentration, or are all the energy resources scanning for judgements , oblivious to the plight of the ears?
If I am spoken to, I immediately go into defense. Nothing that can be done either. The potential anxiety is why I resemble a paranoid android (great song) more than an emotional human being.
I am programmed to detect judgement, It is extremely difficult to be socially correct because of this. It is why I cannot see robots becoming socially viable, ever. We all know that as animals, we are products of our past experiences, but rather than resembling an emotional capacity, a socially anxious persons mind is programmed, to defend in social situations. The mechanisms are there, at the detection of a harmful situation, we raise the wall and turn on our laser beams.
You are too busy scanning, you don't have a clue what the person has said to you. You are affraid to ask "What was that?" because you look stupid. Maybe you ask once, but if you fail to pick it up again, it is a simple "yeah', another mechanism. An irrelevant answer theoretically is even worse than asking the person to repeat 3 times, because it indicates ignorance or a simple lack of care. But it is better than the incompotency of asking for an echo, only for your listening devices to fail you again and again.
You simply cannot complete your given task properly under these circumstances. The judgement scanners are always functioning, instantly aware of any danger. You have just done a poor job, further lowering your flagging reputation. Therefore we resemble an early robot in beta testing, one only designed with one function in mind. And hell we can't even do that right.
It is really bad for me. It just makes you look like even more of an idiot, or even more uncaring. I know it is not my ears, I can hear fine if I ask a question, or when im listening to music, or when I am by myself. Anyone else seem to have this same problem?
