Would you say us caps are good at reading people?

How intuitive would you say we are?

I can only read when something is wrong with someone, like if they are down, sad, depressed etc. I can pretty much always tell if someone has been crying.

Everything else, I'm honestly not so sure. I initially give everyone the same treatment, so there's nothing anyone has to prove to me ever, but I don't initially get good or bad vibes from people. I don't feel anything. I just let time do it's thing, which usually reveals a person. Now if that happens before, or after I've let them in, is the thing. Letting someone in, and seeing their true colors, in a bad light, after the fact, is the most crushing thing. I think it's kind of why I keep at a slight emotional distance, so I'm not too surprised by the revelations.

I feel like I have a really good gut instinct about people. If its a negative gut feeling, I try to work against it and give them a fair chance, but my gut usually ends up being right.

What I said above still stands. However, I usually get along with most people. It takes a lot for me not to like you (or at least something about you - everyone has at least one good quality). I don't listen to gossip and make my own determinations about people. I don't have a problem with someone until I have a reason to. I have had people warn me about others, but I look at it "that's your problem with them, not mine". Some of those "rumors" end up being true, but, I have made some really good friends by listening to my gut instinct rather than someone else's opinion of a person.

I didnt realize that I skipped my gut feelings on people of interest. I approach that a bit differently. I still let time do its thing, but my thoughts/feelings go into overdrive, along with my imagination lol, and I pay attention to every signal I recieve. If something is off, Im a bit hesitant and usually for good reason. Whether I choose to ignore and continue on is on me, but it all usually surface that I was right to some extent.

Would depend on other placements. With Scorpio Asc. I should be more intuitive and at times I'm super tuned/sharp other times I think I may just be imagining it and I also think I have aspects of Autism/Asperger's so not so much in my case. I tend to be too deep in thought and too wrapped up in my own emotional state; Selfcentered. My personal placements are neaerly exclusively in the 1-4 houses.

Whenever I've ignored my own negative feelings about someone, that has always turned out to be a poor decision! Even if the person isn't "bad" and I can't put a finger on something concrete, it turns out that we're somehow wrong for each other and it was just another one of those lessons and nothing more.

People assume I'm more outgoing than I feel comfortable with. I think I try too hard and I try really hard to supress anything intuitive in my interactions with others. I'm too focused on words spoken and I talk far too much for anyone's comfort or good. 😄 Oddly, often I can't remember what we talked about but I remember the mood and whatever I sensed in a situation.

You are so my Cappie twin, even down to the self diagnosis of aspergers LoL.

I think people assuming you are more outgoing has to do with your Leo moon. People assume the same with with me.

I'd crown Cap, Pie, Scorp the top we also have the "eye" effect. Reguardless if you shut your mouth or talk your ass off we see thru you.

I sometimes distance myself just because I was getting something from someone's energy that's off. I also understand when someone has a wicked side even if others say s/he's the sweatest or what not. I sometimes feel like don't you people see that side of so and so, it's like people are blind to some aspect of someone that I am aware of. Yet maybe they are aware but they interact with so and so at a different level, maybe I am just more cautious in my approach. There are people that I feel like I don't want to talk to, like it's going to be bad just talking to them. My energy toward them is so strong that I get the same distance from them that I give off. It's weird but It just happens instantaneously. I try to work on that because I want to be able to talk to those I don't think I will get along with or more accurately can't trust. But overall I say we got something, oh yeah we're special 😄

"I also understand when someone has a wicked side even if others say s/he's the sweatest or what not. I sometimes feel like don't you people see that side of so and so, it's like people are blind to some aspect of someone that I am aware of."

Yep!
I can most definitely sense an evil side lol.

On the flip side, I can't stand someone saying that I'm sweet. I quickly cut them a look to shatter that illusion.

Reading people, yeah, pretty good with that... which results in trying to help, make a difference, put them on the right path, etc., etc... no, most times it does not pan out the way I imagine.
