comments tend to be on the public arena and the interested ones tend to be
private. Those reading and wondering get a biased view. Can't be helped,
because it is all part of the human condition.

My experience tends to support these contentions - positive private
responses often seem to outnumber negative private responses.
It appears that a majority of the negative responders copy their private
response to the forum. It seems to say - "I am avoiding looking inside
for answers" and "don't some of you, the crowd, support me? - I need the
ego boost"
I have also noted that the character of the reaction you get tells you more
about the nature of the responders automatic response mechanism(s) to
environmental stimuli and the corresponding breadth of their perception
skills.
If only we, (that includes you and me), could be more aware of how
automatic some of our responses often are...
Like everyone else I have automatic responses. This may be one origin of
part of what we call 'crowd behaviour'.
Some ideas and techniques that continue to help me understand and sometimes
to manage some of my automatic responses include:
- if I feel or feel strongly (positively of negatively), my perception
may be
narrowed and what little I see may be clouded by adrenalin and emotion,
- if it hit a nerve, there is likely to be a significant emotional
component to the response and a life lesson to be learnt,
- if I am more objective about my reaction, I can use this to slowly
adapt my
behaviour,
- considering my initial reaction iteself is a vehicle for personal
growth and
profits - however defined.
"Psychological wealth" often precedes financial wealth.
Hope this helps.
