Not sure the scale, Polly, but let’s say it’s 1n – 100p.
My first impressions leave me wanting about 30% of the time. Foreign cultures impact that score, since they are part of my life.
How does intuition play into this> Intuition has left me with the hair bristling on the back of my neck several times. It’s like a black, translucent smoke shrouding a person.
Also, I can spot a lie as soon as it turns the corner. You have to be a true sociopath to get past my radar (which won’t bother you in the least), so if you fooled me, then congratulations. You’re mentally ill and no amount of professional help will EVER help you. Therefore, my suggesting it will be conspicuously absent. You’re screwed for life! The majority of that is not intuition, perhaps 25% of it. The rest of it is due to external queues displayed by the person.
Do some people just confound you> Yes! Pointless lies are the ones that I’ve never understood. They don’t benefit the liar. They seem to lie for no apparent reason.
Or lies that are really elaborate story lines. If you’re going to lie, don’t be a dumbass. Even better, don’t lie about things that hurt other people.
