Just listening carefully...

Understand people isn't all that hard, if you really put your mind and eyes to it. Everybody keeps sending out signals from their entire body all the time... Just know this is neither science nor superpowers, but mere observation.

But what happens when you think you saw or felt something very unpleasant?

Examples, examples: you realize your girlfriend pays more attention to some other guy she's just met than to you; you move back to your house and suddenly realize nobody really wants you around; you get a gift that's clearly meant to alleviate the "giver" from its "giving" responsibility, rather than to be useful or nice for you.

This might not soudn exactly the way I expect it too, but I'm very polite, so I seldom act rude. This is a big deal for me, so I'm still polite even in somewhat extreme situations. When I realize, in the middle of a conversation, that I'm been shutdown, I immediately go away: "Oh! Gotta go!" or "Be right back!" After all, why should a bad conversation drag on? As much as I've enjoyed talking, the second I realize the person in fornt of me wants to leave, the conversation becomes just a social nuisance.
