I spotted two guys who were casing a restaurant we were having lunch in in Silver Spring. I told my family to go ahead and leave then, and I paid and left maybe 5 minutes after them. About 5 minutes after I left it got robbed by the two guys I spotted earlier.

I was in a MOOD last week one day. Had a really just kind of yuck feeling in my proverbial gut. Found out one of my friends had died the following morning.
I don't know if that's just a coincidence, but something wasn't right in the air.

I can spot sociopaths, narcissists, and scammers a mile away. The last thing I saw was when someone tried to scam my elderly father on the telephone. I walked in the room and told him to hang up.

Do you WANT people to be genuine about their feelings all the time? I can't control how I feel, but I can control how I act, and sometimes it's really not about me and my feelings.

I can read people well, almost too well.

I am quite good at reading people's emotions, listening and empathizing.

But I wish I hadn't married my polar opposite, my husband with Asperger's, who has the greatest difficulties reading others. While I can read him easily, it's hard for him to reciprocate, although he's gotten much better about it. And the thing is that I feel I understand him better than he understands himself, which leads to conflict, since I can predict how his engagement with a situation will go, but he cannot.

We have a son who's also Aspie, and my goal since he was little has been to work on self-awareness and trying to observe and understand others. It's one of the most critical greatest skill to have, I believe.

I could tell my older son is prone to depression early on, and changed DH and my parenting habits to head this off before we made it worse.

NP. It isn't a matter of smart but rather a true 6th sense that you listen and heed. I have always had this and when I follow it then life is fine. If, however, I think that I want to do it my way, it can be a disaster.

Everybody has this to some degree. Find a quiet place, clear your head, meditate and see what happens.

Another NP, I agree. People have myriad tells and I just happen to be decent at spotting them and extrapolating.

Maybe you're a dense a hole?

I have an infallible bs detector. I can tell when someone is being dishonest within a few seconds. I can also spot a psychopath from a mile away. I can tell by the sound of someone's voice their level of intelligence, if they are hungry and if they are trustworthy. I purposely tune people out because I feel like I'm invading their privacy, but I always look out for psychos and liars.

I can tell when people aren't genuine about their feelings. They say they're happy for me or someone else, but their face has a tell. And it comes out later that I'm right.

I used to feel like you op but not with sensing envy. Rather, I thought I could tell others harbored bad feelings and it just wasn't true. I also started noticing some people do that to me when I am sincere they accuse me of being sarcastic. This isn't fair to people around you.

My intuition is extremely strong, and I can read most people/situations with ease. I assumed most could "see" as well, but I am finding that many cannot. How strong is your ability to read a person/situation? And are you usually, correct?

I can see envy very easily. Whether it's against me or between others. For those who can't see it, I am reporting from the field, and it is a rampant emotion.
