Mixed Signals....

Do you get mixed signals a lot from people? I think I do.... but maybe sometimes I just run people off?

What are your thoughts? Are people confusing about how they feel or do some of us just not pick up on it very well?

 

I sometimes think I'm getting mixed signals, but then I realize that I'm just a very paranoid person; especially when it comes to people's true intentions.

 

hahaha

 

No, people are very easy to understand and I haven't gotten mixed signals from anyone in a long time.

 

What do you mean mixed signals?

Is this all people or just girls?

 

I took it as meaning mixed signals from people, in general. I'm always very paranoid about what people are really thinking and that they're not being completely honest, regardless of who it is, how they act, or what they say.

 

Well I always watch body language.

I go with the non verbal signals regardless of what they say.

The exceptions are online communications. I cant see the non verbal signals.

Unless they start asking detailed things about my past. Then, I know they really do not want to know.

Live and learn...

 

no, everyone loves me.

but in all seriousness, i am excellent at reading people. i can see through you.

 

You're just not picking up on it very well

 

The eyes and facial expressions are the most important thing for me, when trying to read someone. It's still pretty difficult; especially when I'm always under the influence of some sort of intoxicant everytime I'm around certain people. lol

 

I think you just don't pick up on it very well.

 

you just dont pick up on it well

 

I try to suspend any ideas I have about the signals people are giving off until I have had a lot of time to observe their behaviour, and even then I try not to make any assumptions. I'm also not really fixed on outcomes and I'm fairly detached to the idea of gaining anything out of a person or a situation, so essentially I don't really care what sort of signals people are giving me. I'm generally drawn to genuine, down to earth people so I rarely have to worry about people being confused or dishonest anyway.

As far as your question goes, I reckon that you're probably as good as any of us at gauging people but you just care too much.

 

agreed. FE, you're my new hero.

 

I am retarded, so unless you're being completely forthright about your intentions, I don't read into it...seems like too much work....

 

I just assume... I'm wrong half the time, I think, but heh.

 

Nah, I'm usually pretty accurate when it comes to picking up on people's vibes.

 

I'm pretty good at reading most people. Course, most people are very easily read.

 

Hmm.I think I'm pretty good at reading people.
But its an unperfectable art.

Maybe I have problems sometimes because people can't read *me*.
And because I give people the benefit of the doubt.

Sometimes, u just want to believe sthg with someone but you're "too close" to the situation

 

Yeah, I work with a lot of flirts and I am prob the least intimidating and least educated woman there, so they see me as an easy target. Seriously, I am not going to be your staff meeting girl of the week you put your arm around. What are we in sixth grade?
