Developer, creator, entrepreneur, and supporer of artists
Creating things that don't yet exist. Listening to music. Reading a good story.
web and software development, digital marketing, music composition, graphics editing, creative writing, content editing
Mainly software and web development. I branched out into creative writing in effort to bring attention to my software company which had already produced 2 games. I eventually also branched out into supporting graphics artists. At the time, I was struggling to make a presence and I did not know how to market my work. I wondered how many other people must suffer the same way. During this process, I worked with dozens of other writers and I realized I really enjoyed it. There's some really great stuff out there, just dying to get noticed. I've helped high-potential artists and writers to feel that they have a purpose and that their work is being recognized. That might be enough for some, but for me I'm just getting started.
I have several projects in the backburner, but my primary focus at this time is working on the Pagebacker book sharing platform (https://www.pagebacker.com).

Question
Given the difficulties of true communication between two humans, to what extent can you really know another person?
David's Answer
We tend to see what we want to see in others, which ultimately leads to disappointment when reality manifests itself differently then our expectations. The only way we can really know someone else is through what actions they have done. In truth, this does not tell you actually who they are but who they were. If it was a one-time action, then it's possible that said person may not return to their former self. However, if said person has proven over and over again that they are capable of doing certain actions, then you can at least know another person to the extent of reliability in those past actions.

Takes time, patience, compassion, and truly shared experiences to really know someone. It can be done.

You can only know someone as much as they trust you. Trust is so difficult to earn and so easy to lose. You may never know a person completely.

Only the Biblical type of "know" as in carnal knowledge. And even that is, as we see with divorce statistics, worthless. Only identical twins can claim true communication that is more than that of old married couples finishing each others' sentences. Is there some reason why these questions are so philosophical? Do you want an answer more suited to epistemology? Or to neuroscience? If so, inquire within but have your checkbook out because I don't think for free.

This is not something I honestly worry about. I assume that every person has a private, mental life I will never have full access to. I do my best to be of service, to listen and understand as well as I can, and to trust that others are doing the same.

You have to trust them to tell you what they are about and be patient and know we are all figuring out and testing who we are constantly. Just because someone says x doesn't mean they believe it, they might just be trying it. Just love them for who they are and who they might become, then you really know them.

In my personal experience, unfortunately it is difficult to really get to know people. If you know people from an early age or you have gone through a tough time/situation with them you have a way better chance of having the full picture. Otherwise, your instincts will be your best guide.

You can never 100% predict how another person will react, but the longer you know someone, the better you will get at it This depends on the person though, because some people grow and change much more than others, therefore are much harder to predict.

Only to the extent you are willing to trust. Communication must be open and honest. Thoughts must be expressed and if not agreed with, at least respected. The relationship between two people is always an ongoing process. Troubles always show themselves when communication stops.

People judge, even when they say they don't. That word judge makes it sound negative. It's logical, there's first impressions, and impressions made in follow up meetings. So at what point do you know them, can you ever really know them? I think you can know a person enough to the point where you can create a range of expected behaviors, and that person will rarely act outside the range in your head. The more often your idea of that person matches up with reality, the more you will feel like you know them.
