The familiarity of believing yourself unlikeable is so rooted I can't imagine being without it. That's the only way I believe I can read People.
But the reality is.... We cannot read people like we r think with such accuracy. It's that which keeps the fantasy going.
Uncertainty v certainly, even if the certainty isn't real.
