I guess I learned it from my mother. I have mastered reading between the lines. It's like a chess game. I ponder every possible scenario, plotting, thinking like the other person would think, predicting what the other guy will do. If I move here/ he'll move there.

It has probably been helpful to me, but it makes me wonder if I'd just be better off if I didn't do that. I get so lost in thought and imaginary conversations.
