I can read & detect the most obvious ones. Example m, someone looks at a watch or phone. They need to go soon or are bored

However, it is difficult me to read & get more subtle hints. Example: I’m almost never certain if I should contact a new aquaintence again after meeting them or not.

I have to rely on my intuition more than the b.s they say now. What’s the most confusing is when thet try to make plans with you or ask you to contact them then blow you off. Weird!

Especially if all thet say is that it was nice to meet me. Part of me think it’s a polite blow off, but part of me tries to contact them if we had a good conversation. I figure if they didn’t like me that much, they could’ve left sooner. Then I never hear from some of them again or I get the ‘I’m’ busy excuse a few times before giving up.

One former friend would always rudely interrupt me on the phone. I asked hee why she did that. She told me that it was a ‘hint’ & that it was less ‘rude’ than telling me than I was being to ‘longwinded’ even when I barely said anything! I told her that was rude & to stop, but she rarely did.

She’d also redirect the conversation a lot when she didn’t want to listen to something I had to say she said.

It’s like there are all of these unwritten rules that are difficult to impossible to understand. Would anyone on here even get the rude interruption as a hint to stop talking? Ugh!

I’d appreciate any tips on how to decipher b.s more easily, lol 😆 Why do so many people lie & say things they don’t mean & act fake? It’s not really being polite at all to me. There’s no need to be rude, but it’s rude to say things that you don’t mean.
