i know what you mean, that's nuances in noticing people's emotions ,
there is different layers of this, heightened awareness, levels aswell
that is intuitive aswell
It's can be like a dance , a dynamic of both of these types of awareness,
It's just in our culture societies it often conditioned out of us to fit in socially in whatever society environment, family dynamics ect we've brought up into, that has quite strong influences over us,
I am extremely intuitive, to the point in which people have been fascinated by this, such as male and female bosses , work colleagues, and friends i know socially
Once people know i am very intuitively, ive had people want to find out how psychic i am ,
and on the other hand where a friend i had, became concerned that i was far too aware intuitively about her,
that she now actively avoids me, and even told me that it concerns her,
Ironically she is psychic herself,
losed someone i thought of as a good friend who we used a good laugh together,
she at first liked me being intuitive, then as time went on , started to change her mind about me being this way,
I have intuitively known what kinds of clothes shoes someone likes going around charity shops,
even though I've only known them for two weeks,
i said to them why don't you try that on see if it's fits,?
she said i am not sure, it's something that i like, look good on me,
she tried it on changing rooms and after that thanked me for suggesting this,
I've also intuitively sensed that someone i known had a blue car before,
even though they had never told me this, and I didn't know about them then when they did have a blue car,
I met up with them and just blurted out to them where is your blue car then,
i was looking out for that colour car,
I was told that they previously had a blue car they sold in the last few years,
they had moved into a new area of wales where I live from,
previously they lived in England,
I also had my deceased ex partner my children's father tell me that my brother would turn up to see me one day out of the blue, in random way,
When my ex partner told me about this,
i just laughed it off,
but indeed he did turn up unexpectedly my brother, at my front door with his best friend at the time,
he had run off from the children's home, dodging train fares, he was at , on a big adventure to Wales to see his big sister,
we were all brought up in care in our childhoods,
There's also been cases of people acting on their gut reactions have saved themselves from dangerous situations and people,
Also people who had a psychic , gut reactions spiderey feelings ect who have ignored it to fit in to society's expections , have regretted that they did so too
Look up about The gift of Fear on youtube
Have you had an instinctive feeling that' someone's dodgy even if you didn't know them, or weird feeling about a situation that you have acted on and someone told you don't be silly or stupid,
and later on found you were right to act on this ,
what about people who's Jobs, careers in which going on a hunch a sense has helped them,
is an advantage for them?
What about well known cases which have been celebrated , such as the one who found "the hunchback"King in history of UK in City of Leicester Car park.?
what about dowsers who dowse for minerals, water even dowsing for health in traditional ancient medicine cultures ?
What about ancient art of Feng Shui , in which buildings are built based on Feng shui principles ethos?
What about ancient histories discovies then?
they didn't have modern technologies back then to help them in any way,
How did they have the know how to achieve that.
