Puzzels oplossen, maken, delen en erover praten
Nederlands

Ik (probeer te) zien wat je zegt

Er zijn deze week 27149 reacties gedeeld op 7558 puzzels op Jigidi. Heeft een van deze puzzels je overuren laten maken om erachter te komen wat in hemelsnaam de bedoeling van het bericht was?

De kans is groot dat veel van hen dat ook hebben gedaan.

Als we met elkaar communiceren, lezen we de betekenis en intentie van elkaars acties af aan onze lichaamstaal.

Wat betekent dit voor de louter tekstuele communicatie waarvan velen van ons genieten op Jigidi?

Dat betekent dat we wat extra denkwerk moeten doen om het goed te maken!

Ik kom terug op hoe - en begin met waarom het de moeite waard is. ♥

De hele wereld ligt binnen je bereik op Jigidi

Jigidi heeft het voordeel dat het een internetgebaseerde gemeenschap is.

Deze verbazingwekkende technologie stelt ons in staat om over allerlei fysieke grenzen heen met elkaar in contact te komen en elkaar beter te leren kennen en begrijpen.

Maar hoewel het internet ruimte voor ons kan maken over de grenzen heen en ons eerst met ons verstand laat ontmoeten, heeft het ook een duidelijke keerzijde als het gaat om elkaar beter leren aanvoelen: we schieten tekort als het gaat om informatie die via onze lichaamstaal wordt doorgegeven.

Dit is zo voor de hand liggend dat we het in de 'natuurlijk-lade' stoppen en verder gaan met ons leven.

Maar voor de komende 3 minuten, gelieve die lade niet dicht te doen, want er staat ons een val te wachten op dit pad waar we je graag uit de weg willen houden.

Maak kennis met: Spiegelneuronen

Spiegelneuronen zijn neuronen die je in staat stellen om de actie van een andere persoon die je observeert te imiteren, alsof je de actie zelf uitvoert.

Je doet dit onbewust, maar met een heel goede reden; je hersenen begrijpen dingen door de informatie die ze opvragen en verwerken met je hele lichaam.

Dit soort 'uitproberen' wat de lichaamstaal vertaalt qua emoties helpt je om de persoon die je observeert beter te begrijpen.

Onze bedrading is zo omdat we als soort diep verstrengeld zijn.

We leren van elkaar en we hebben elkaar nodig om gezond en gelukkig te zijn. Daarom gaan we voortdurend op zoek naar informatie over 'de temperatuur' in de groep of bij de persoon die we zoeken.

Wij vullen automatisch intenties in

Nu verder met het Jigidi-punt (je zag het eerste deel van dit punt vast al aankomen).

Op Jigidi hebben we elkaars lichaamstaal niet om mee te navigeren als we de betekenis van elkaars acties willen achterhalen.

Deze ontbrekende informatie betekent dat we elkaar niet meteen goed begrijpen. En als gevolg daarvan kunnen we onze reacties niet altijd op tijd afstemmen op hoe de ander onze woorden opvat.

Hier komt het tweede deel van het punt.

In de naam van veiligheid en efficiëntie maken onze hersenen voorspellingen van betekenis en bedoeling op basis van onze ervaring en kennis.

Deze specifieke hersenfunctie is van onschatbare waarde als je een ratel uit de struiken hoort komen en iets lang en slank op je af ziet glijden. Maar het kan echt een belediging zijn op die zware dagen waarop we over het algemeen niet verwachten dat het universum ons met enige vorm van vriendelijkheid tegemoet treedt.

Op zulke dagen lopen we een groot risico dat we kwade bedoelingen afleiden uit een bericht. Onze verwachting van intentie neemt dan de plaats in die was opengelaten omdat de melodie slechts 'getikt' was, niet volledig gespeeld.

Dus als we erkennen dat online communicatie informatie mist zoals lichaamstaal, toon van de stem, volledige context, enzovoort, kunnen we hier rekening mee houden bij het interpreteren van online communicatie.

Zo help je onze medepuzzelaars hun verwachtingen van wat het universum vandaag voor hen in petto heeft vorm te geven.

Bij twijfel - kies vriendelijkheid

Om de schaarse informatie en onze instinctieve opvulling van de gaten over de intentie te compenseren, moeten we openstaan voor de communicatie van onze collega-puzzelaars op Jigidi.

Dat komt bijna altijd neer op elkaar het voordeel van de twijfel geven voor de eerste 'rondes' waarin je geen raakvlakken vindt. En ook om oprecht nieuwsgierig te zijn naar wat het gedrag van onze tegenhanger in de hand werkt. Als je niet noodzakelijkerwijs een volledig palet aan waarden deelt, is het erg gemakkelijk om elkaars gedrag per ongeluk te beïnvloeden.

Hoe zit het dan met die moeilijke dagen waarop vriendelijkheid meer het resultaat is van een persoonlijke keuze - een wilsdaad - dan dat het onze standaardinstelling is?

Dat neemt niets weg van de kracht van je vriendelijke acties.

Helemaal niets.

Maar het vormt wel de verwachtingen van je medepuzzelaars over wat ze kunnen verwachten van het universum en de Jigidi-gemeenschap. ♥

Met heel veel liefde, Jigidi

I love this site. been doing puzzles for a long time and always wondered how some people can do the puzzles so fast. WELL, I figured it out. They arent faster than us. NOPE. They arrange all the borders and patterns without connecting two pieces .... then they connect two pieces and log out. when they return, they are on their first minute

I find the puzzles on Jigidi and my husband, 85, sits every night and spends hours in enjoyment, solving them. Now when I find a good one (over 500 pieces), I can't seem to save it and I don't see anywhere in your comments that answers that concern. Does anyone in the "Jigidi Community" know how to save a puzzle originally so my poor husband can go back and find it to work on it????? HELP!

Why anyone wants to go back to Flash Player now when it is ending this month is beyond me. You just have to go through all this agony again anyway, don't you? Thanks Apple

I love jigidi and how wonderful has it been during our period of isolation! I am quite competitive and so the Leaderboard is a big part of my puzzle solving. However, since my latest system update my times aren't posting anywhere. Yes I did log in again! So I am hoping someone can help me with my problem, Thank you in anticipation. Elizabeth

The written word can be taken entirely the wrong way, the reader cant see the eyes of the writer, or hear the tone of his/her voice. Does it mean laughter, or contempt? That is why we need to carefully select the words that we use.
I have always had requests for smaller puzzles answered. Love jigidi, thank you for providing this world wide place for interaction and enjoyment. Fay.

Many thanks for making this a soothing and tranquil place☺♥

I love sharing my artwork & photos but am not so great at commenting so I just say thanks or you're welcome, My apologies to all but I do get tongue tied. I have found the folks here are kind and considerate, it's a big reason I hang out here. ☺♥

mrheaume, please ask me anytime you would like a puzzle enlarged. I will always give it my best shot. I have even enlarged others' puzzles, too, if I can find the image with google, when I notice the original puzzle creator has not responded, or has declined. I believe if you insert @Zsuzsineni in the comment/request, I will notice. Zsuzsi

I teach communication so I know just what you mean - it's so easy to misinterpret text due to the lack of context. As Rebeccab says, emoticons can help when you make a jokey comment that might be misinterpreted. Humour doesn't always cross cultures that successfully. The English vs American sense of humour, for example, are often quite different. I have made wonderful online friends through Jigidi and people leave lovely comments and compliments. It's also a great place to learn about different cultures and experiences. In my experience Jigideers are innately kind and thoughtful - maybe puzzling draws that kind of person. Thank you for the many happy hours I spend on Jigidi and the chance to share my creations with many others. It is my daily hobby and joy. Jayne

Definitely true. main thing is to not take offense unless the comment is obviously mean.

mapapete

Well said.

bayhome43

yes . . . I love how you and Magnus have made kindness and acceptance and friendship and interesting knowledge and the beauty of this universe we live in the first things we think of when we hear the word "jigidi" We just assume kindness and the desire to communicate from our true heart is the "platform" upon which we all stand as we make our puzzles and comment on other puzzles ☺♥☺

troubleatmill

I fully agree with you on this subject. I cannot deny that I have been unintentionally guilty myself from both sides of misunderstandings. Even though I try to be careful in how and what I say mistakes can be made so easily. My "alter-ego" on Jigidi posts puzzles that are interactive and encourages comments to be made so have seen these misunderstandings evolve and have found myself acting as a bit of a peacekeeper before the situation gets out of hand . . . thank goodness for the "Private Puzzle" facility that you introduced a while back as it means this does not have to be made public and cause embarrassment to either party. I usually mention the main points that you have talked about particularly referencing intonation which I believe to be the main cause of these misunderstandings.

Thank you for mentioning the problem and opening the matter up for discussion. I am sure it will make us all more aware and of how an innocent comment can be misconstrued and be more careful in future . . . ;-)

Thank you for such a thoughtful, intelligent, caring post! This is something I try to keep in mind, but it's not always easy. I don't solve many puzzles, but I love finding artwork and making puzzles. I enjoy getting and responding to comments, although on bad days I don't have much to say. I wish I spoke many languages so that I could respond to comments that are not in English. To @mrheaume, who asked about enlarging puzzles, not everyone might know how to do that, and sometimes the puzzle just won't get more pieces, no matter how much you enlarge the original photo! It depends on the size and the shape of the photo. I always try to honor requests to enlarge puzzles (or make them smaller) but sometimes it just doesn't work out. There must be lots of other reasons why someone wouldn't respond to a comment though, so don't take it personally! Thanks to all who keep Jigidi going. It's such an enjoyable part of my life.

I feel like you wrote this for me. A couple of days ago I left a comment and must have insulted the person when I made a silly remark about a detail in the picture, I did mention how much I enjoyed the puzzle. All her comments were deleted, no explaination, so I deleted mine, and will probably not visit her site again. Amazing how bad I feel about something I don't even understand. Yes, indeed, we need to be careful. :(

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but when I add a comment on a puzzle and ask them to enlarge it if they can I never get any response and I don't ever get the puzzle enlarged. I know you can't enlarge all the puzzles but after asking for a larger puzzle on at least a dozen occasions what am I missing.

Hi Mette!

Your blog is nicely written, well organized and meaningful. This indeed is a valuable add on to the already wonderful world of Jigidi where we learn more about other people's lives and cultures, and gives me an added learning of good communicative English which is my second language.

Thank you for giving us access to this wonderful place.

More power to you and the JTeam!

francesjka

Thank you, Mettem;

After reading your wonderful post, I must confess, I do not leave as many comments as I should, even after the joy of completing a puzzle and gaining so much insight, I do, indeed, have some comments I should be sharing, but instead, go carelessly on my way.

Your words have brought back to mind those young days in New York, when after work, we would all get together for coffee and have, what I call, a 'Meeting of Minds', and this is exactly what Jigidi is for me these days.

I love working the puzzles - afterward, I have a wonderful experience of being lifted from my present situations - just like sitting down having a cup of coffee with an old pal.
I may not see you, but your spirit is with me.
Except that, now, you will all be hearing from me.

Being as adobe flash player won't be supported any more soon , how will this affect the site ?

helenpuz

I have found the most wonderful, caring, sharing people on Jigidi. I wish that EVERYONE could be part of this Jigidi world. If this were true, I am certain there would be more peace and love in our world.

I enjoy the comments on this site. They elicit a grin from me, whether it's a simple thank you, a statement about the picture, a wish for good things for participants, or something that I can't understand (not due to language).

RebeccaB

This is where I think emoticons can help make the meaning clear - a winking face ;) if you're joking, a smiling face if you're just curious but not criticizing, etc. Or explaining your intent before the comment or question, like "I'm just curious, did this actually work?" I've hardly ever run into trouble, but a few times have seen a possible interpretation I didn't intend or expect only when it was pointed out to me, and so I just apologized, and it was accepted graciously. GREAT people on Jigidi, but yes, it can get a bit sticky now and then - especially when using Google translate, LOL.

body language is non-existence, person's preferences maybe can be figured out with what puzzles they choose to work on and those on same page , not chosen, (but the sheer size of puzzle may throw this preference figuring right out the window, if people shy away from too few or too many piece puzzle). Comments made are real, and kindness of course should be foundation to anything stated, but sometimes the Truth hurts, so still, people ought not get indignant or insulted if a Truth is being stated, trying to diminish it, as if it is merely an opinion. So take everything with a grain of salt and be happy. There are so many different puzzles offered by so many different people who spoke/write different languages, that JIGIDI is really a wonderful place to spend time.

Bekkabee

Thank you so much for your post! You have an incredible insight and also the ability to translate that insight into kind, respectful dialogue with others. I wish more of us could be as talented. However, I believe that many of us, including myself, could at least try harder to be kind and respectful toward our fellow Jigidiers. I have been on both ends of misinterpreted comments, so I know how it feels to be misunderstood and to misunderstand. In the future, I will make a concerted effort to be kinder both in my own comments and in my take on others' comments.

Thank you so much for your efforts to make Jigidi the wonderful place that it can be!

ringleader2

Well said, Mette. I have found people incredibly kind here on Jigidi. I try to do likewise. I especially appreciated how Magnus replied personally on each of his birthday puzzles. A lovely example for all of us and actions usually speak louder than words. ♥♥

Bluebonnet

Thanks, Mette. You are someone I would love to sit and talk with, and I appreciate your posts. I followed the first link in your post to https://www.ft.com/content/3f5c647a-7768-11e5-a95a-27d368e1ddf7 and found not only an interesting book extract but a wonderful stitched illustration—by far the most attractive illustration of the human brain I've ever seen!

gogogo

A well-intended post, that I take with the best of intentions, as I usually try to take posts at this site! ☺︎
After reading this, I will try harder, on "off" days, to assume kindliness, on the part of others, and in my own approach. ♥︎
Thank you for kind and insightful, and helpful, post. ☀️☺︎☀️
