Hi guys ;D I am still here OK, straight to business ;D: I programed this shield (not in c++ lol) the other day. The programing was: dissociate all people from me. I am not sure if that makes sense, but I meant it so people wont notice me or talk to me etc... It worked most of the time. First it was as thin as silk, then I made it thicker as layers of leather. It got thiner with time... So my questions is: does this sound real or it is my imagination?! Because most of the constructs I make don't work properly or at all (maybe to weak or I just cant interact with physical things through psi...). Please give me an answer, it just drives me nuts when I cant define if it is my imagination or not... Thanks . P.S. I dont know then I am going to be able to reply next time... Sorry...

It's possible. I've put up similar things, though it usually requires a bit of skill with empathy or telepathy to pull off properly. I'd recommend a few more trials before you decree success or imagination. Also do a few 'controls' that is make note of who seems to 'notice' you when you don't have it up, and then put it up and see the difference under similar circumstances. That should give you a better idea of how effective it actually is.

Em, can you please elaborate on the 'controls', because I don't get what you mean. What is their programing and what do they do? Thanks DA.

A control is a term used in scientific research. You have your 'experimental group' that is the one you're changing things on, and then you have your 'control' which you leave alone in a 'normal' state.
If you were trying to figure out which fertilizers worked better on your plants than the one you were using and you had 4 fields. 3 fields you would try the different firtilizers you were thinking of switching to and 1 you'd use your 'normal' on so you'd know how they all compared to one another in the same growing year.
In your experiements it would work something like this: You have your shield up during an entire normal school day. This is your 'experimental test'. Then on a similar school day (say tuesdays are always the bussiest days and it's very consistent.) you deliberately leave your dissociation shield down. You compare how people ignored you on the two days. I will note, it will take more than just 2 days of each to give you a REALLY good idea of how it's working but you can start getting a feel for it after a couple of runs.
