My husband and I were just talking about this today! For me, I don't see any large differences between the phone, the internet, and actually being in person. The only thing that helps with being in person is seeing the body language. But, somehow, on the internet, even the body language comes through. Not that I can actually see how someone is sitting, but just the general feelings you get with body language...folding the arms and leaning back to show indifference, or being closed to the conversation, not really engaged. Same thing with being engaged and really interested. With body language, there would be legs not crossed, arms not crossed, leaning slightly forward. Over the internet, I get impressions of someone typing very fast, and typing with a heavy hand, actually making more noise as they hit the keys.

Anger is the worst one. I get sacral chakra....cramping is probably the closest word to describe it. It's not painful, but it's very, very uncomfortable. I also get a lot of pinching all over my body when someone is angry. I'm assuming it's negs. But, it's always there with anger. It happens more often over the internet, but I'm finding it's becoming more prominent in person. A neg-o-meter!
Trance state when on the computer...absolutely!

BTW, Aunt Clair, love the emoticons!
