Judging reactions

[N.Chaos]

my rule of thumb: don't try to analyze what they are thinking.

You are not Counselor Deanna Troi (if you don't know her..google her).

You will go insane if you assume every stare or smile or weird look is because you're not passing.

Oh, to be a betazoid. Then again, that could be unpleasant.
I've got a horrible habit of assuming the worst, constantly, even though I've been getting weird stares for how I dress for years (I'll entirely admit that wearing big clunky boots and a trench coat, around here, is hardly normal).

I'm trying to get a bit better about it, and not glare at the rare person who actually checks me out. Key word, trying.
