How come some people seem to be able to see right through to the depths of your soul?

You can tell a lot about a person just by looking at them. Their face, skin and hair condition, how they are dressed, especially their posture. Do they look tired or energized. Do they appear happy, sad, stressed, agitated or excited. Then there is the big tell and that is body language.

Most if not all people have this ability to “size” up a person and most do not realize they are able to or doing this “sizing”. It is done automatically as part of our survival instinct to instantly determine friend or foe. It is also known as our 6th sense. We all have had that moment when we say to ourselves…“I should have listed to my gut instinct about that person”.

The ones who you think that can see right though to the depths of your soul have mastered this ability to read and size up people. They consciously use the tools of observation coupled with their well honed instincts to be able to with surprising accuracy see right through you and know your soul inside and out.

My old boss was expert at this and share a few tricks of the trade about body language with me as he knew I would need it when I took over the company and then had to deal with the employees!

There is a pretty good book called Blink that explains this ability humans have to “size” up a person and a situation and how and why it works and works better for some.

People that are older already know when you’re lying or how you feel about things because they have been there. Anything from breakups to losing or getting a job, moving, loss of a loved one etc.

There’s always a place to seek out help because of this as well.

I have no soul.

Ahh, soul…must be the butt doctor, i’m guessing that’s not his official title, but i’m not intelligent enough to know the real word.

Proctologist? :p

I like butt doctor better.

I think it’s the prolonged or direct eye contact. Not everyone is able to do that, but the ones who do, unless they’re creepy, usually are perceived as being more intense, more interested, or ‘seeing’ into your soul, but usually that’s just our perception of the eye contact.

Also, blue eyes are supposedly the most piercing, but I assure you, we don’t have superpowers. I feel the same about big chocolate eyes.

Check out the big brain on @Symbeline :)

They work for the NSA.

If there’s someone who can see right through to the depths of my soul, I haven’t met them yet.
