I've noticed this about 3 years ago (I'm 18), basically I can just always tell when someone has more than friendly feelings for someone else. Sometimes people come to me to me asking for advice, trying to keep it secretive who they like, but I already know. Sometimes others may tease them asking who they like and i just sit back and grin because it's easy enough to figure out. I often surprise, and sometimes even scare my friends, when I let them know that I know who they like. They'll ask things like "who told you?" or "I haven't told anyone, how do you know?" But no one told me but their actions
A few general observations:
- Its seems to be EASIER if they are trying to hide it
- Sometimes it takes weeks for me to realize it but sometimes only minutes of being around the person and the one he/she likes
- I have a harder time telling when the person they like is me (probably just pessimism or in some cases optimism)
- My "suspicions" are almost never wrong and they range from beyond just my circle of friends to people I might barely know
- I figure it out by observing their actions: noticing body language, the way they talk about the person, or how they go out of their way to be near them. The sum of these out-of-place actions lead usually leads to one possible motive: Attraction.
I seem to have almost a 6th sense for telling when one person likes another. Is this a trait common in INFJ's? Can we all do it? Can other types?
