Spot the Human

“Spot the Human”

Every day, people waste oceans of time arguing online with strangers they know nothing about — strangers who may not even understand their own motivations.

Here’s the thing:

You can know who you’re dealing with. You can know in under 15 seconds.

No spyware. No hacking. Just… a search bar.

This tiny method is something I developed simply by living long enough as a neurodivergent woman whose brain notices things others don’t. And every time I’ve mentioned it to people, they react with stunned amazement, as if I’ve revealed a magic spell.

It’s not magic. It’s pattern recognition.

**THE METHOD:

Search Their Profile for One Word**

Go to someone’s public profile. Use the search bar. Type one word.

That’s it.

You will instantly see:

what they post
what they never post
what they care about
what they avoid
what fuels them
where their knowledge ends

And you will see it in seconds.

Why It Works

Humans leave data trails the way snails leave glitter. Most people reveal themselves unconsciously through:

their obsessions
their anxieties
their fantasies
their grievances
their political identities
their coping mechanisms
their vocabulary

And when you isolate a single keyword, their whole internal map suddenly becomes visible.

The Words to Search — and What They Reveal

1. “Book”

This one is shockingly effective.

You immediately learn whether someone is:

literate
curious
well-read
intellectually active

Or whether “book” only shows up as: “Book a cruise!” “Book your tattoo appointment!”

I’m not judging. But it tells you who you’re dealing with.

If someone never mentions reading yet argues like a professor… well. The math does itself.

2. Keywords of Expertise

Search for:

“autism”
“gifted”
“diagnosis”
“research”
“science”

You’ll instantly see whether someone is speaking from:

lived experience
advocacy
study
or merely… vibes

This matters.

Especially in emotionally charged discussions where everyone thinks they’re an expert.

3. Vulgar Words and Insults

Try:

“bitch”
“stupid”
“idiot”
“kill”
“hate”

Within 5 seconds you can see:

their conflict patterns
their aggression baseline
their history of online meltdowns
whether they thrive on chaos
whether they escalate or de-escalate

People who frequently use slurs or rage-posts will have a VERY predictable history of burned bridges.

And if someone has never used harsh language? That tells you something too.

4. Political Hotwords

Search any of these:

“Biden”
“Trump”
“liberal”
“conservative”
“immigrant”
“freedom”
“rights”

What you get is an instant political profile — without having to ask a single question.

Are they thoughtful? Reactionary? Meme-driven? Obsessed? Balanced? Extremist?

And you avoid stepping into a minefield blind.

5. Spiritual or Identity Words

Search for:

“witch”
“chosen”
“manifest”
“God”
“energy”
“healing”

People reveal their psychic architecture very fast.

Some are grounded. Some are aspirational. Some live in a personal mythology. Some are dabbling. Some are delusional.

Again — not a judgment. Just information.

**THE BEAUTY OF IT:

You Stop Getting Emotionally Hooked**

Once you know:

the level they’re operating on
the emotional place they’re arguing from
their intellectual universe

…you stop expecting what they cannot provide.

No more wasting brilliance on bait. No more explaining physics to someone who only argues in emojis. No more taking things personally from someone who is projecting their entire unprocessed childhood.

This technique lets you evaluate, in seconds:

Is this a conversation worth having? Or simply a pothole on the internet highway?

Why Most People Don’t Think of This

Because neurotypical communication is linear:

They react to the post in front of them.
They assume everyone is speaking in good faith.
They assume everyone is like them.

Neurodivergent minds — especially highly gifted ones — work differently:

We see patterns. We see context. We see data. We see the shadows behind the words.

This little tool simply formalizes what our brain is already doing.

FINAL THOUGHT

This isn’t about spying on people. It’s about protecting your sanity, your energy, and your time.

You deserve truth. You deserve clarity. You deserve to stop getting ambushed by low-information chaos.

This tool lets you step into any online conversation with your eyes open.

Use it wisely. Use it kindly. And keep walking forward.
