[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have this. It is a lifetime starting out as a shy, not self-confident kid trying to navigate highly emotional people in life. You start to recognize the signs, read body language, tones of voice, A leads to B, but more importantly when X leads to A. All in an attempt to avoid problematic situations. Like any "skill" learned over a lifetime, it becomes second nature. I have business associates who regularly ask me for a read on a situation.[/quote] My experience is similar. I can instantly get a read on people and I always predict when shh will hit the fan. I have only a 5% or so failure rate lol I moved a lot as a child and just, like you said, figured out quickly which people were genuine, how A led to be, and when X would lead to A. [/quote] I can also do this (my last boss used to drag me to all his stressful meetings so he could get my read on people’s motivations) but I had a very stable family life and stayed in the same place preschool through high school. I was a very weird misfit kid though and was bullied in elementary/middle school so maybe that’s where I picked it up? Also reading a LOT so I was always trying to mentally guess at the novel behind all social interactions. I feel like I maybe didn’t come with a normal sense of human interaction and had to learn it from scratch and as a result went way overboard on studying and came out weirdly good at guessing why people do what they do.[/quote]
