Your gut has been taking notes on people your whole life. Let it vote.

You have been reading people since before you could explain how, and all that practice is stored somewhere you cannot open on purpose. An uneasy feeling in a conversation is often a summary of details you clocked without words: a tone, a half second of delay, something that did not match. It is not magic and it is not always right. It earns a vote, not the final say.

When something feels off, say it to yourself in a full sentence and look for the detail underneath. Slow down rather than shutting down. Let the feeling be one input and let time supply the rest.
