There's some pretty astonishing theory out there as to who you can tell things to, in a way that they'll understand immediately. It's pretty interesting and unfortunately very subjective.

But one thing I learned from it is that if you can identify specific people who get you, generally speaking, you should then see if you can mold newly-discovered communication problems around this already-functional communications relationship.



Please tell me there is actually such a theory and that this is not an AI comment.


This is exactly the kind of problem ChatGPT is good at solving. Just ask it and you will get theories. I asked and it gave a list, I think he talked about uncertainty reduction theory since the other things ChatGPT listed didn't make sense in this context.

Edit: Not sure if that response is really correct, but at least it is a tractable way to try to approach this. ChatGPT let you fuzzy match words or theories much better than Google, and then you have things you can Google.


Funny that the GPT detector is giving 75-99 percent AI probability for that comment.


And keywords or search terms you can supply as a way into learning more, would be much appreciated.


Agree with sibling comments asking for search terms.
