> It is you; neuro-typical people don't have to "learn" how to read people, it's innate. I'm pretty sure I'm neuro-typical. At least I'm not atypical to the point that it was ever a problem. And I too had to learn how to read people. I could always read them innately, but after some conscious effort, it became like a superpower. People always say how great I am at knowing how they feel. The real hard part, though, is learning how to emote back. Especially after moving to a different continent. It's really really hard to display appropriate emotions because, for the most part, knowing and understanding other people's emotions, just doesn't really trigger an emotional response. It's all on an intellectual level. I've always wondered whether that was normal or not.
