How I Read People Like a Book
2025-12-10
After being in psychology for a long time, I am able to read people and extract their value system easily. It's fun and insightful, but sometimes dark.
Once you know what to look for, it's quite simple.
- How they close the door, do they bang it or are gentle.
- When you share something painful that you are going through, how empathetically they listen.
- Are they comfortable talking loudly enough that it disturbs others?
- And the greatest way their values are revealed are through their children. Do the children introduce themselves? Do they greet others? Do they even recognise and acknowledge the humans that are around them?
- Do they give more importance to objects or humans?
- Views about money.
- What do they obsessively post status about? Superstitious stuff, cars, religion, brainrot?
Once values are extracted, you can build a hierarchy of their values.
Now their behaviour can be predicted with a high degree of accuracy. Given X situation, they will do Y.
That's psychology for you! Depending on your values, this method can be used for a lot of good.
I am able to observe a concerningly high increase in psychopathic tendencies in common people: adults and children. Once the majority acquires these traits, society collapses, at least as per one understanding of 'collapse'.
