I recently have correctly identified that I have some communication difficulties related to knowledge of media sources, in the following I'm going to attempt to outline what I've learned about my use of media sources.
When I meet a person I'm trying to gain information about them based on what media sources they state they like (celebrities, musicians, authors, etc.), I also realized that in the past I've been attempting to understand people through the use of apparel and word choice.
I've noticed that do to this identification method if I encounter a person who I have identify with a pattern of likes I experience a lot of distress and then have to attempt to understand why the person doesn't follow the pattern I predicted.
While I have found that to some extent exposure controls what a person will be aware of and enjoy, though I realize that overall a person who doesn't seem to follow a pattern I've identified is likely to ruin my system and cause me to get upset.
(Examples of hypothetical people below, person B will be the example of a person who is likely to confuse me when I meet them and cause stress):
Person A:
(Likes): Math, Favorite music artist is Tom Leher, Wears Jeans and T-Shirts, Likes Hiking, Seemingly quiet.
Person B:
(Likes): Chemistry, wears tight clothes, favorite color is pink, Favorite music artist is Lady Gaga, Has interest in strategy board games, and seemingly outgoing.
Person B in these examples is likely to merely confuse me as I attempt to evaluate how these likes would all be related. So, if I find a person who follows a series of interest which I don't seem commonly together I generally will try to get away from the person until I can attempt to process and understand explanations for how the set of likes relates.
In an earlier brief description of the practice outlined above, my significant other noted that this concept seems to operate in a way similar to Netflix movie preference predictor; I am choosing to mention the predictability comment as I felt this was an accurate summary of what I've noted above.
An additional area of concern related to this pattern relates to academic knowledge, as I have noticed a issue of definition variance among different fields of study.
