It’s so strange when you meet new people and you have no idea how to read them, you have no idea what could possibly be going through their mind…you can only guess and go off of previous experience with body language and other people that you know and hope that’s enough not to miscommunicate with someone.  You never know what people will take the wrong way.  The smallest thing could turn huge in a hurry if you are unaware that some people have meanings for things that you couldn’t even possibly imagine.  The smallest gesture with your hand or a look out of the corner of your eye could be construed as flirting by one person or a challenge to fight by the next. 

How are we suppose to be able to read people when half of us don’t know what goes on in our own minds?  It’s hard enough to try and understand a friend when they are in an odd mood, much less someone you just met and have no idea what kind of moods they are even capable of……
