Ineffable Ontological Detanglement .: Introspective Assistance & Mental Analysis Manual
40% of the time you hear the words "I'm really good at reading people" it is a bit of a semi-conscious threat, somewhere around 1% of the time it is a fully conscious threat. Both of these subcategories of people fall into the 90% category of psychoanalyzers who are completely delusional. None of these people bypass their perceptual filters and all they want to do is confirm themselves. If you hear them force it into a conversation, they're the semi-conscious threat type, they really really seem to need this for some reason. If they utter the words often they're likely the delusional type, generally the people who are actually good at this prefer to use different wording or bypass entirely the idea of justifying their skills, however sometimes you may still hear them use the wording it's a perfectly good wording, just, for some reason to us who are good at it it seems to ring a little evil, ring a little delusional.
If they're more often saying "I'm good at reading people and I think you're wrong about this person" in an attempt to salvage this person, they're one of the good guys, though they may still be delusional. They're not all obsessed with driving into people and turning them stupid and pathetic and twisted and evil and sad and really threatening. If all the fucking time they're trying to tell everyone about all of the things they find in people, they're really one of the bad guys and something may need to be done about this person. They're doing something a little "I'm really good at reading people" paranoid psychotic.
"I'm really good at reading people" generally means "I seem to think for fun that I've picked up some skills and now I get to turn you into whatever I want in my head. I can do all sorts of complicated sounding semi-deliberate misinterpretation and then back it up, reassure myself, fortify my own ego." Some of these people may well be going around behind your back spreading their broken delusional often blatant fairytale land out of this world delusional constructions of you to whoever will listen. Some of them are likely stupid enough to listen. Chances are all of the stupidest amongst these people think you and every single other person around this person is a bizarre psychotic abstraction. One day they'll likely hear what they are and put some of it together, hopefully... Hopefully they figure out at this point they're not actually this thing that is being presented but pretty stupid. These people are doing this in order to fortify their self inflation by introducing all of their delusional other deflation into the biocomputing network. Maybe, hopefully, in some ways, it will become real, maybe... Maybe I can finally turn you into this horrible fucked up mess for real. For some reason. For some reason I want to do this to you.
If they always select the back corner of the break room and carefully study the rest of the break room, sometimes possibly giggling, they're running a complex program of self confirmation on everyone. These people are to be isolated. These are dangerous people.
Even if you don't fancy yourself some kind of psychoanalyzer, a good one eighth of ego invested people think they can just assume they know what everybody's thinking and often times everybody is just a ridiculous idiot with absurd thought processes. We can pretty much all watch you formulate, we can see the potential misinterpretations and block think misassociations going on in your head, we know the misunderstood and likely incorrect at it's base education that you would be calling from. We just have to sit there watching you giggle, we don't get to speak to you, you just get to wander off thinking you have us pegged. Yeah go... Go spread that around the ego reinforcement society network why don't you, what am I going to do about it?
Having too much confidence in your auto-assume abilities can really fuck up your automatic conversational coherence and tracking, we see a perfect example of this in my mother. Whenever I would ask her anything, anything at all, she is automatically in what she assumes I'm thinking attempting to answer that. I ask where something is, she would assume she knows what I'm doing, she knew I'm doing it wrong because I'm asking for the wrong thing. Asking her anything at all meant three to ten layers of "Huh? What? I don't understand, you're confusing, what are you trying to ask me?" I would either eventually be able to deduce what I wanted to know by everything I've heard or just give up and find whatever it is myself. It was annoying, though, because then she may decide to start following me around as I'm looking for this thing trying to figure out how I need her help attempting to draw me into her confusion. I pretty much learned to stop bothering with her.
About half of lack of perceptual filter bypass psychiatrists got into the profession in order to delude themselves against their patients. For semi-conscious and in those incredibly rare moments fully conscious evil fairytale land fun time purposes, quite likely AT this stupid profession they entered into hoping to inflate themselves and yet now it's just calling them a fucked up broken mess. Whether or not they're doing this, every single lack of perceptual filter bypass psychiatrist is doing way more harm than good. No, you're... You're observing the other. You're not observing your own experience you're observing somebody else's experience.
