Some people are what I think people are referred to as street smart, which is more everyday living smart, often more useful and important than the whole academic smart. You seem like you would be street smart.

Well yeah, of course all people (allmost all) are smart at something. 8D

But yeah, i kinda think I am street smart. But i wish i would be academically smart too. :'D

lol street smart.... if poet went out on the streets poet would be so screwed...

Any skill that requires talking screws poet over

I'm kinda lucky, since i'm not shy, at all. *nods*

Poet isn't shy as much as just very nervous

I'm not nervous usually ether. 8D

I actually don't believe I'm academically gifted, however I have been told by a friend who studies post graduate level psychology that I probably have a higher emotional quotient (EQ) than most people. I can't remember her reason for saying that exactly, something about being able to tell in general how a person is feeling when I'm in their presence by their body language, what they're saying and how they're behaving. If this is true, then I'm probably in the right field of study.

Oh, i can do that too sometimes too. But not that often.
So you're lucky. 8D

If someone was really good at acting I probably wouldnt' be able to tell either, not a mind reader. xD

hahaha, same.
I wish i was a mind reader tho. 8D

Creeepy! Hey I know I just got here, but I gotta go again, my mum's just told me off for being out of bed at 4:54 in the morning. I'm not even sleepy but she insists I go back to bed...lol.

lmao. ok.
I'll see you later then. :D

Body language reader? Poet would confuse Ling very badly though. Poet doesn't understand body language so poet randomly guesses which one to use

hahah, funny poet.

Poet's very opposite of Ling because since 6th grade poet's been struggling to read body language. Especially body language directed towards one person. Flirting baffles poet to no end.

well, when your more around people, you'll learn it eventually. *nods*

Ah... so you say... poet was married and still didn't figure it out.

Well, i guess it kinda depends on a person then.
8D

Poet has a suspected social disorder though so poet has an excuse...

well, if you say so. O:

It's no biggie really... poet is just very thankful for blunt people

Hey guys, I'm back. Interesting to read about Poet's lack of understanding of body language. I'm sure if you were with me in person you'd use body language that fits your mood at the time.

Half of poet's body language is just fidgeting...
Have fun with that... XD

heheh.

fidgeting probably does reflect on the fact that you're nervous (as you mentioned you sometimes can be) or that you might be aggitated..?
