Do you try to read people's minds you are interacting with? I feel that I am doing it all the time through their posts/discussions and comments.
In real life I concentrate on other persons words as well as expressions, having some knowledge of psychology and body language, I find it interesting to study what others try to say but are not saying or what they are saying is not meant. With a little cross questioning, truth comes out.
What about you? do you do it regularly? or some times or you never thought of doing it? Do you find it interesting or rude or what?

good topic.i am a good mind reader and observe and try to read the people minds when i met .i will observe their body language,gestures,the way of taiking ,the way they are moving and everything what i can and get an idea about them.i wonder what i guess will become always correct.if we do practise well i think we can understand their metal health,mood at present,their behaviour,nature of the person and so on.
and i will observe them keenly before making friednship with them.once i start to believe them then i will stick to them but keep on eye on their behaviour after that too.

Well, It seems that you have practiced the skill very well mymytri! It's nice to know that you are good at mind reading. It takes time for me too to start trusting somebody and after I have trusted someone, It's difficult to shake my trust unless very clearly proven otherwise. Saying so, I feel honored that you extended your friendship to me while having no prior interaction as such:-)
Thanks for your response, mymytri! I appreciate:-)

I don't think I have the ability to do it, but sometimes I feel like I know what the person is going to do or say. LOL If I could read people's minds I'll be richer now

That's good and we can learn a lot of things. Not to do the bad side and do the good side. What do you think?

I try to all the time to have an idea what they may be thinking. People may say one thing but really mean something else. I may not be very good at reading minds though but I always try my best to do it. Some people are very clever and can easily disguise it making it harde to read.

Reading other's mind can be very interesting and helpful if taken in positive way, 2wicelot. I just do it only for good or to help. It can be destructive at the same time for relations and inner peace, so one should be careful.
I hope you do it for all positive. Thanks for sharing your views 2wicelot:-)

I try not to do it in my prersonal life, as it can cause relationship problems. But when I was working as a therapist, especially with prison inmates, I had to be pretty good at it. It was important to read their body language as well as hear their words.
Sometimes I can read my partner's mind, but I try not to assume I am right. I just ask if I'm right.

You are right, youdontsay, that it can cause problems, especially if done with negative intent.
I appreciate that despite having skill and practice in that field you try not assume yourself right. Humans are such a complex creatures that no body can claim reading their minds perfectly. I support this practice only IF it is for good and to help not to boast about and tease people.
You have a very reasonable attitude, Thanks for sharing and your views, I really appreciate:-)
