🔍Reading Between the Lines

Your survival depended on detecting the subtle shifts in tone, the micro-expressions, the things left unsaid. You became a master at reading rooms and people, picking up on undercurrents that others miss entirely.

This hypervigilance to social dynamics makes you incredibly perceptive—you can sense when someone is uncomfortable, when there's tension brewing, or when words don't match feelings 👁️.

Your ability to navigate complex social situations and anticipate problems is genuinely valuable. But living with this constant scanning is exhausting 😴. You notice every slight change in someone's voice, every pause that lasts a beat too long, every look that might mean something. Sometimes you catch subtle disrespect that others dismiss as "just your imagination," leaving you questioning your own perceptions. Your radar is so finely tuned that you can't turn it off—even in safe spaces, you're still scanning for signs of rejection that may not be there.
