I read people too well and it's exhausting/isolating. Here's what I see: [describe what you notice that others don't, how you know things people don't say, the burden of seeing, and the loneliness]. Identify the skill and curse: I see microexpressions, sense energy shifts, read subtext, know when people lie, feel group dynamics, predict behavior, and sense motivations. This is a gift AND a burden. Map when it started: childhood (I had to read moods for safety?), trauma (hypervigilance), natural empathy, or learned observation. Then analyze the cost: I can't unknow what I know, I see things people hide and it isolates me, I carry others' emotions, I'm exhausted from constant reading, relationships feel unequal (I see them fully, they miss me), and I can't turn it off. Recognize the loneliness: I know what's real before they admit it; I see the relationship dying before they do; I watch them perform and wish they'd just be real; I'm exhausted being the only one paying attention. Identify the trap: do I use this skill to help or control? Do I read people to understand or judge? Am I present or analyzing? Decode the burden: what's harder - seeing everything or having no one see you? Create the management system: the reading OFF practice (permission to not analyze everything), the boundary protection (their emotions aren't my responsibility to manage), the truth-telling (naming what I see instead of carrying it alone), the like-minded finding (people who also see deeply), the empathy limits (I can see it and not fix it), and the being-read allowing (letting someone see me fully too). Include: what I see about everyone that exhausts me, whether this skill serves me or just makes me lonely, and what I'd lose if I could turn it off (might lose the loneliness but also lose the depth).
