" Many ultra-sensitive introverts have little mood radars constantly circulating, looking for cues and clues to others’ state of mind. When we pick something up, it goes into our brains to be cranked around and around and around as we try to extract whatever relevant meaning it might hold for us and the state of our relationship. As well as being absolutely exhausting, this can be counterproductive. Even the most sensitive people tend to be pretty bad at mind reading (as in, really terrible at mind reading—as in, can’t mind read at all, it’s impossible, forget about it), and all that thinking and guessing and ruminating—because that’s what it is—doesn’t do a relationship any good.
