Re: [xmca] RE: Thinking and speaking different things simultaneously

[Ivan Rosero <irosero@ucsd.edu>]

How about when we lie?

Especially to someone who we think might really be hurt by the "truth",
especially when it has to do with giving that person details regarding their
competence at some task (because they ask for details!!!), and you have to
think about what they did wrong and make it sound like it wasn't really
wrong (because they actually know or have a strong clue what it is), and you
have to invent things they did right which they didn't really do right...
 All in real time.   I wouldn't claim these situations actually involve
saying something other than what you are thinking, but the physical
discomfort, the hesitation, and the general slow-down in turn taking that
I've experienced during these moments suggests to me that whenever these
things take place we come close to embodying a double bind, it's very
physically and emotionally uncomfortable.
