The breadth of your knowledge of these disorders is impressive.
Have you done an internship or graduate studies?[/quote]
Well I work in communications…and I have insatiable curiosity for what makes people tick.
Does that qualify?
Besides, I have enough hearing loss to require face and lip reading on some level.

I have abrupt dismissive voice coupled with monotone jerk voice coupled with indifferent resting face, the medication helps though.
I have this, but it is because I am both abrupt and dismissive. I talk to communicate information or to receive information. Small talk annoys me. I enjoy sitting in silence when no one has something substative to say.

The strong Israeli accent probably doesn’t help.

I wonder if any of these features could be a cultural or ethnic pattern? The only other people I’ve known with severe Abrupt Dismissive Voice were German, who also had Blunted Emotional Affect. The Irish lads I know all have Empathetic Voice. The Italians have Belligerant voice and were also most likely to have Resting Asshole Face.

German certainly heavily influenced Yiddish, which certainly heavily influenced Modern Hebrew, which Israelis speak. So perhaps.
But I think my ADV comes from being a very busy lawyer (except when wasting my time in a pointless CLE like I am doing now).
Mostly, people think Israelis are yelling or mad at them when we are just fine.
Spirited disagreement is certainly a Jewish tradition. After all, my people’s name means “struggles with G-d” and there are certain well-recorded negotiations with G-d by our founders.
Having a beard, black hair, black suit, being a weight-lifter, being swarthy in general, and over six feet probably doesn’t help.

Not to get too serious in the midst of all this jocularity, but: You work in communications and have significant hearing loss? Non-verbal comms, maybe?
And yeah, the hearing difficulties would explain your impressive knowledge of the various disorders.
Having worked in mental health for a long time, I share your interest in how others “tick,” but especially in why they tick strangely.[/quote]
We’re here to speak gibberish and silly nonsense Chush, get out of her with your serious questions and logic!
Lip reading sounds cool, whenever I meet a deaf person or watch Mission Impossible 3 I always wish I could read people’s lips.

They should do another video with that petulant hint of a scowl some gay guys make that make it look like they’re annoyed that the place where they are isn’t Paris or Milan. Sort of like their eyes are in a constant state of rolling even though they don’t actually roll.[/quote]
Rather sounds like you have a bit of experience.[/quote]
With what?[/quote]
With profiling petulant scowls. Petulant. i want to say it over and over now.
now show me your B face!![/quote]
I can show you the petulant face…just imagine there’s a piece of blue cheese flying around your head and you keep following it with your eyes. I guess like 15 year-old girls look right after they say “whatever”.

Yeah seems like a paradox doesn’t it. My hearing loss is sensoneurial in the inner ear and congenital. I’ve compensated pretty well - yes i have trouble at work especially when talking to aircraft but if i really focus and pay attention I’m alright. If sounds are going on behind me then forget it. Don’t even try whispering sweet nothings.
It’s funny how things can be misinterpreted. I have a bit of hearing loss from working in noisy environments for a long time and find it much easier to understand people when I listen/lipread simultaneously.
Some people take that look to mean that I’m either completely vacant or going to bite their face off, depending on how intensely I’m paying attention to their face. Two guys I used to work with finally admitted this after about 6 months of avoiding me.
A lot of the middle eastern speech patterns, close distances, and gestures are interpreted as overtly aggressive by people in the US too, so I could see someone like Jewbacca being misread really easily.

or a sex offending sociopath with a god complex (gotta think outside of the box)

I was thinking of that dude from The Purge, but he was a sex offender in the making.

I’ve had a genetic hearing impairment my whole life and learning to lip read in a passive way takes a while but once you have it you’re not essentially listening all the time but reading the person more often.
