Do you think you are good at assessing people? Reading them?

I am not. I am horrible in that. Especially, with women. I had so many love delusions. I thought some women were in love with me where they were not. And the one woman in my self-help group where I thought she would not be interested in me. She actually approached me. But she was not honest. She had a boyfriend and dated 4 men behind his back.

I once friendshipped her. She still tries to spend time alone with me. But I am not sure about her motives. I think she can talk with me open like with noone else. I mean she lies to all the other men. Sometimes I have the feeling she is still interested in me. But I doubt it is serious interest. She once called me an adventure. The moment I showed interest in her her interest would disappear I think. Moreover, I hardcore friendzoned her she cried. I think it were fake tears. Wouldn't she be out for revenge? I enjoy spending time with her because I feel attractive the way she treats me. But I cannot imagine something serious with her. I think her playing with boys behind the back of the partner is pathological. And well I might be okay with it if she were open and honest about it. I don't think she gets intimate with these men. It is more emotional cheating. And I think for her its about the thrill. And with open communication there would not be a thrill. My friends rightfully called her a red flag.

I wish I would be better at reading people. I would not manipulate them still it would be adventageous.

Me neither~ :( It sucks lots and is just another deterrent on to my already poor social skills given my obscure interests, depression, etc.~ :( I'm not very able to tell what people are thinking at all~ >_< "My Love Story!!" is a good manga which can rather show how people need to actually talk to each other about things instead of assuming the other person "gets" it~ :)

I'm bad at it. I tend to take people on face value so, if they present as nice and reasonable, I (stupidly) assume that they are. I've also got it wrong in the past that people have disliked me and, we've ended up becoming friends.

I think I'm marginally better at reading expressions. I feel like I can sometimes tell when someone is lieing. Especially corporate lies by managers. I don't usually call them out though but, I don't like being bull shitted either.
