Gosh that statement sums up ME. I have gotten into so much trouble in life because I can detect anger and disdain in people long before other people can. So, people always jump to the offenders defense and I was left to deal with the fallout of my perception. Many Many Many has the time been that someone has come to me and said, "You were sooooooo right about so and so."
I still haven't learned to squelch it when it pops up. sigh.
But on the other side of the coin, I can also detect sincerity and kindness very quickly too. I've made fast and steady friends in life due to that ability.
So, while it causes me angst at times, I wouldn't give it up for anything. It helps me as I work with people, counsel them, and so on.
So, imo, encourage self-monitoring, but don't discourage that sensitivity and perceptiveness.
