I’ve discovered that one of the best ways to tell social adaptation, is to listen to the way people whisper. Or fail to.

I’ve recently mastered whispering, but it took quite some time before I thought about it in a reflexive manner. I never had any use for it. And my philosophy has always been that if something is worth saying it is worth saying aloud. From the top of your lungs, with one fist raised high.

It’s interesting, because thinking back, I could see each time how dismayed people were as I broke the sacred “whisper code”, and when I did not respond in kind, but rather at a more or less normal voice pitch and volume. But on the other hand it often discouraged them from any further whispering. Something to remember.
