Nah, I believe I can see into people's hearts fairly well. Personally, I believe it's the combination of my highly introverted personality (lol which I know some of you may find hard to believe) and my high level of indifference (which I feel has become oddly binary with my more empathic side) which often makes people believe that I can't get a read on them.

Also, I would never say that having a compete lack of desire of attention of any sort from men makes a woman modest per se. It also depends heavily on the reason for their lack of interest. 🤔🤷‍♂️

Scary! You just described me to a "t" with that first paragraph. Although, other than severe introversion and fear/hatred for everyone that were big features of my childhood, I'd never thought of those traits as being the reason why I often feel like I can read others intentions.

I've found that people's intentions are often more easily understood through the detection of body language; the observation of the eyes play a significant role in this, imo. Also, consistency in one's behavior and speech.

You reckon it's an observation skill? I always thought there could be a spiritual aspect to it. If I'm picking up on body language I'm rarely aware of it. 🤔

Before I answer that I want to ask you a question: would you say instinct is an inherent component of one's spirit?

Hmm.. Probably?.. I don't know. I've never pondered it before. I don't really believe in nature over nurture or vice versa. I believe that both make us what we are. I believe that God has distributed gifts too. It's like when you make a character in a game, and have a number of points to go towards various aspects of your character. Perhaps you and I rank a little higher in a particular gifting. Just like 'natural' entrepreneurs, or those people who naturally give off trusting vibes might have another gifting. Maybe those 'natural' gifts reside in our spirit and we can through the way we are nurtured and the skills we chose to spend time on either grow or neglect them.

I think it's a combination of instinct and observational skill. There are always a few core qualities of a person that I feel like I can pick up on by observing the eyes: cowardice (tbh, I feel like I detect this more amongst men than women), honorability, anger, fear, and confusion. I could probably list a few more but I feel as though those are the easiest to detect.

An interesting list of emotions to pick up on, maybe it's a manly list even, like those things matter more to you.. Fear and confusion are easy for me too... I always know when someone wants something from me long before they say anything. Also, being closed to new ideas is a personality trait 1 that I pick up on often. It's where people sit on the Openness - Closed spectrum... Maybe I'm just a purveyor of bad ideas, but being unwilling or unable to discuss new concepts makes people boring. Sadly, too many people are boring or unwilling to rock the boat. Give me a good mental work out any day.
