Noticing
I've always been an observer, long before I understood why, I noticed things. Changes in tone. A shift in posture. The expression that flashes across someone's face before they have time to hide it. The subtle difference between someone who is relaxed and someone who is carrying tension. These observations often happen instantly. Sometimes I can feel the mood of a room before a conversation even begins. Sometimes I notice that someone is uncomfortable, worried, frustrated, or completely at ease before they say a single word.
